On May 16, the first part of the third season of ‘ Bridgerton’, the American drama series based on the novels by Julia Quinn, which has been a tremendous success since its premiere on the platform, will premiere on Netflix.

The third batch of episodes will tell the story of the love affair between Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton.

Some racy scenes are expected to tell the tale of the romance. However, one of the leading ladies has made a curious request to the show’s producer: Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope in ‘Bridgerton’. The Irish actress has reportedly demanded a version of the series with less nudity so that her parents can watch it.

During an interview for SiriusXm Hits 1 radio, Coughlan explained the reason for her request. According to her, her family is very Catholic and that is why she has asked for an alternative version for all audiences. The performer refers not only to the sex scenes, but also to the language used in some parts of the series.

The performer also revealed her mother’s reaction when she first saw the show: “I didn’t expect her to be so bold. About two minutes into the first episode, an ass comes out, Jonathan Bailey’s nice ass. And she’s like, ‘What is this? But now she thinks it’s fantastic and it’s hilarious..”
