Produced by Shondaland, season three will spot new additions to the cast and crew. The Hollywood Reporter reported the addition of three new actors-Daniel Francis, Sam Phillips and James Phoon.

Francis will reportedly play Marcus Debling, a charismatic gentleman and member of the ton. Phillips will play Lord Debling, while Phoon will play a character known as Dankworth.

The season also gets a new showrunner in Jess Brownell. The filmmaker replaces Chris Van Dusen who announced his exit in March, after two seasons.

“it was time for me to move on and hopefully create that magic again, in the near future,” Dusen shared on stepping down from the role.

Season three’s plot centering on Penelope and Colin marks a change in the order of Julia Quinn’s novel series. Their love story is not until the fourth series as book three focuses on Benedict Bridgerton.
