Nicola Coughlan, known for her role as Penelope Featherington in the popular Netflix series Bridgerton, recently revealed an interesting stipulation in her contract that was more for her parents' benefit. In a recent interview, Coughlan shared that she insisted on having an alternate cut of season three with less nudity to show her family. This request was so important to her that it was actually written into her contract.
Explaining her stance, Coughlan mentioned her Irish Catholic upbringing, stating that the explicit content did not align with her family's values. Despite the humorous tone, she emphasized her genuine discomfort with such scenes.
The actress also teased fans about the upcoming season, hinting at the storyline involving her character, Penelope, being courted by Luke Newton's Colin Bridgerton. Coughlan assured viewers that the show would stay true to the source material, incorporating elements from the books that fans have come to expect.
Reflecting on her mother's reaction to the nudity in the series, Coughlan shared an amusing anecdote. Initially taken aback by the explicit content, her mother eventually found it entertaining and now appreciates the show's humor, particularly the references to certain body parts.
Bridgerton season three is set to premiere in two parts, with the first part scheduled for release on May 16 and the second part on June 13. Fans can look forward to more drama, romance, and intrigue as the series continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
