Bridgerton on Netflix – As the Bridgerton franchise returns for its highly anticipated third season (Part 1: May 16, Part 2: June 13, 2024), prepare to be swept away once again by its unique musical touch.
Season 3 will captivate viewers worldwide with a fresh blend of orchestral pop covers and original compositions infusing a modern twist into the Regency-era romance.
In Season 3: Part 1, acclaimed composer Kris Bowers orchestrates a stunning original score, accompanied by a lineup of contemporary pop songs transformed into elegant instrumental covers. From Billie Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever,” BTS’s “Dynamite” and Sia’s “Cheap Thrills” reimagined by Vitamin String Quartet to Nick Jonas’s “Jealous” covered by Shimmer and Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey’s “Snow On The Beach” covered by Atwood Quartet, the soundtrack promises to charm. The soundtrack for Part 1 will be released globally on May 16.
Fans can look forward to the franchise’s first-ever original song, “All I Want” written by nine-time Grammy nominee Rogét Chahayed (Doja Cat’s “Kiss Me More”), Wesley Singerman (Jennifer Lopez’s “Butterfly”), Taylor Dexter (Joji’s “Die for You”) and Nicole Cohen (Meghan Trainor’s “Sensitive”). Composer Kris Bowers beautifully arranged an orchestral version to be featured in Bridgerton Season 3: Part 2; two-time Grammy award-winning artist Tori Kelly performs the song at the upcoming Bridgerton fan wedding celebration, and will also perform live at the Bridgerton World Premiere in New York City on May 13.
The soundtrack for Part 2 will be released globally on June 13.
With both seasons 1 and 2 included on Netflix’s Most Popular of all time list, Bridgerton’s iconic soundtracks are beloved for their ability to bridge the gap between classical and contemporary music.
The cover soundtracks for season 1 and 2 debuted at #1 on the Billboard classical charts and within a month of the release of season 1, Vitamin String Quartet had a 350% increase in the number of people streaming their work when it was featured in season 2 – a testament to the series’ musical influence.
Bridgerton Season 3 Music Supervisor, Justin Kamps
“I start to try to think of songs from the past that could maybe work for this and then also current hits that could possibly make sense” Music Supervisor Justin Kamps told Tudum.com about how he started the process. “Then it’s really down to the script and then the themes. And sometimes initially it’s about what matches the choreography and then later it’s about what matches the scene and the emotion,” Justin added. “We have a lot of covers that aren’t necessarily part of ball sequences this year and it’s because we found some cute places to insert something that can play as a fun cover that doesn’t necessarily have to be attached to a dance sequence. And I think that’s been really fun this season. I can’t wait for everyone to see it.”
Bridgerton Season 3 Composer, Kris Bowers
“To be able to write a new theme for Colin, a new theme for Penn, a new theme for the two of them together was a lot of fun and definitely infused a new feeling into the sound and score for this season” music supervisor Kris Bowers told Tudum.com. “My thinking behind Colin and Penn was how much of it was this timidity and this two steps forward, one step back kind of thing. The theme that I wrote melodically has this shape to it that’s meant to evoke this feeling of stepping forward and leaning back.”
Two-time Grammy Award Winning Artist, Tori Kelly
“Performing at the wedding was such a magical experience. Every detail of it was so thought out and it felt so special. I’m just honoured that I was able to be a small part of such a beautiful day,” said Tori Kelly of the Bridgerton fan wedding. “I can’t wait to perform my new song “All I Want” at the world premiere tonight. The fact that this is the first time an original song has been a part of Bridgerton makes the whole experience feel even more special! Really, I’m so excited that I get to be a part of this amazing show in my own way.”

SERIES INFORMATION
Synopsis: From Shondaland and new showrunner, Jess Brownell, Bridgerton is back for its third season and finds Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) has finally given up on her long-held crush on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) after hearing his disparaging words about her last season.
She has, however, decided it’s time to take a husband, preferably one who will provide her with enough independence to continue her double life as Lady Whistledown, far away from her mother and sisters. But lacking in confidence, Penelope’s attempts on the marriage mart fail spectacularly.
Meanwhile, Colin has returned from his summer travels with a new look and a serious sense of swagger. But he’s disheartened to realize that Penelope, the one person who always appreciated him as he was, is giving him the cold shoulder.
Eager to win back her friendship, Colin offers to mentor Penelope in the ways of confidence to help her find a husband this season. But when his lessons start working a little too well, Colin must grapple with whether his feelings for Penelope are truly just friendly.
Complicating matters for Penelope is her rift with Eloise (Claudia Jessie), who has found a new friend in a very unlikely place, while Penelope’s growing presence in the ton makes it all the more difficult to keep her Lady Whistledown alter ego a secret.
