Even though the Bridgerton fandom has 9 books on which to base their assumptions about the upcoming seasons, they are still left in the dark about some important details. Of course, as with any adaptation, the show's creators tend to make changes to the story to fit the new format.
From adding new characters to expand the ensemble storyline to cutting out the controversial scenes that don't hold up today and replacing them with something new, the changes are inevitable.

One solution, as has happened in season three, is to play with the established order of things. Though Benedict Bridgerton’s romance follows on from that of his brother Anthony’s in Quinn’s book series, the TV show has (rightly!) vaulted over that to first show the love story between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington.
Their other answer? Invention. In addition to TV-only characters Madame Delacroix, Will and Alice Mondrich and Queen Charlotte herself, a new raft of invented-for-the-show characters appear in season three. Here they all are, along with info on the actors playing them, plus a couple...
