" Do you believe the best innovation for love is friendly relationship ? "

Good news, fellow members of the ‘ton: TheBridgertonSeason 3 trailer is upon us.

RIP my bank account + anyBridgerton - themed item .

As you likely are aware, Season 3 will focus on Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton — played byNicola CoughlanandLuke Newton, respectively — with the possibility of Colin reciprocating Penelope’s yearning looming over all.

The trailer opens with Penelope still upset over the demise of her friendship with Eloise, saying that she must take a husband so that she can leave home.

We then get our first glimpse at Colin, who has had quite the side-to-main-characterBridgertonglow up.

Colin offers to help Penelope in her pursuit of a husband, asking, “Are we not friends?” before a hand-touching so smoldering, it should be illegal.

God, I love regency romance.

We’re also introduced to Lord Debling, a potential love rival who rightfully notes Penelope’s beauty:

The trailer ends with Colin asking his mother if friendship is the best foundation for love. Cue more yearning!

All in all, we’re back, baby! A warm bath for the soul!

BridgertonSeason 3, Part 1 will be released on May 16.
