It seems that Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan has made a unique request to the producers of the show. In a recent interview, the 37-year-old actress, who plays Lady Penelope Featherington in the racy Netflix series, shared that she specifically asked for a family-friendly version of the show to be written into her contract. Why? So that her mother can also enjoy watching it without any awkward or uncomfortable moments.
As she prepares for the third season, Nicola revealed that her contract negotiations with Netflix and Shondaland included this special condition. When asked about the rumors surrounding her request for a PG version of the show, she confirmed that it was indeed written into her contract and not just a joke. She went on to explain that growing up in an Irish Catholic family, certain explicit scenes and themes are just not their cup of tea.
Nicola even shared a funny anecdote about her mother's initial reaction to the show. Apparently, she had no idea that Bridgerton would be so steamy when she first tuned in. But now, she's a big fan and finds it hilarious. As for Nicola's character, Lady Penelope, she will have a more prominent role in the upcoming season as she is courted by the charming Colin Bridgerton, played by Luke Newton.
Speaking of saucy scenes, things are heating up for Lady Penelope in this season. And fans are eagerly anticipating the release of the new episodes in May and June. In a teaser clip released by Netflix, we see a simmering interaction between Lady Penelope and Colin, where they exchange passionate gazes and flirtatious banter. It's clear that their romance will be a major focus of the season.
While we wait for Bridgerton to return, we can catch Nicola in Channel 4's new comedy-drama, Big Mood. She plays Maggie, the best friend of Eddie, whose friendship is tested when Maggie's bipolar disorder resurfaces. Nicola has also been busy filming the medieval comedy film, Seize Them, alongside Aimee Lou Wood from Sex Education. The two play rebellious characters who are described by Nicola as "two absolute s***heads."
