Netflix is making a lot of changes when it comes to Bridgerton season 3, but one of the most important is its release schedule which, unlike the previous two seasons of Bridgerton, is coming out in two parts in May and June of 2024. Bridgerton first began in 2020, and since then, there have been three seasons and one spinoff series. Based on books by Julia Quinn, Bridgerton has taken the world by storm, becoming one of Netflix’s most popular and beloved properties. And even though the service is making audiences wait, season 3 will likely be just as successful.
Bridgerton is far from the first Netflix series to be released in two parts. The trend really gained traction in 2022 when the streaming service released season 4 of Stranger Things in two parts. Although this splitting of a season may seem unwise, as it forces audiences to wait to find out what happens, the fact that streaming services continue doing it proves that there must be some method to the madness. Luckily though, Bridgerton fans don’t have that long to wait, and hopefully, the first six episodes will hold them over until then.

And on top of that, viewers can get excited by the fact that there could be six more episodes in just a matter of a month.
Why Bridgerton Season 3 Is In Two Parts
The part 1 cliffhanger makes the wait harder
The reason why Netflix splits its biggest releases into two parts is something of a double-edged sword. By making Bridgerton season 3 have two parts, Netflix forces fans to wait longer, and while this could be annoying to some, it also creates delayed gratification. In the space between parts, anticipation is heightened, excitement builds, and people are talking about the show. Furthermore, Bridgerton season 3, part 1 ends on a cliffhanger. In this way, viewers are even more eager to see part 2, and the previously mentioned aspects are increased even more, making Bridgerton the talk of the ton.
