Fans of Simone Ashley will be pleased to learn that her Bridgerton character, Kathani “Kate” Sharma, will return for season three. Netflix and Bridgerton presented a dinner celebrating South Asian culture on Tuesday, March 29, in Los Angeles, with attendees including Never Have I Ever’s Poorna Jagannathan, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, and Richa Moorjani, as well as late-night host Lilly Singh, actor Kal Pen, and others.
During the occasion, Ashley shared some exciting news regarding her character, Viscountess Kate Bridgerton, who was promoted to Viscountess Kate Bridgerton in the season two finale. “We’ll be back!” says the narrator. In an interview with Deadline, Ashley commented, “Kate and Anthony are just getting started.” In the same interview, she discussed what season two viewers already know: the most recent story was about a gradual burn and growth into love, with a focus on duty to one’s family and, in the end, devotion to one’s heart.

Simone Ashley Confirms Kate Sharma Will Return to Bridgerton Season 3
“There was a lot of push and pull between Kate and Anthony in season two, there were familial difficulties, and then they found each other in the end,” she remarked. “I believe everything is just getting started.”
The change of showrunner is a significant distinction between the previous two seasons of Bridgerton and the already highly anticipated third season. Seasons one and two were directed by Chris Van Dusen, the show’s creator, while seasons three and four will be directed by Jess Brownell, a writer best known for her work on Inventing Anna and Scan**l.
Ashley stated that all she wants to see in season three for her character is Kate (and her new husband) having more fun, and we couldn’t agree more. “I’d want to see Kate relax a little more and play a little more,” she remarked. “I believe they are both deserving of it.”
We can all breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the new Viscount and Viscountess of Bridgerton will be returning, unlike several famous personalities who did not (cough, cough, Duke of Hastings).
In season two, much of the plot centred around Jonathan Bailey’s character, Anthony Bridgerton, assuming the post of viscount and household leader. Lady Violet Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell) will be stepping down from her post as the Bridgerton housekeeper now that he’s found his wife—one with whom he’s completely in love.
Kate will take over the household now that she is Viscountess, according to the 27-year-old actor. Ashley continued, “She’s got enormous boots to put on.” “I believe she is capable of completing the task. I definitely want to keep Kate’s fragility and gentleness to myself, and she can share it with Anthony. I’m just looking forward to her having a home and a family. I’m looking forward to watching her develop.”
Following in the footsteps of the past two seasons, the third will most likely focus on Benedict Bridgerton, the second oldest Bridgerton son and aspiring artist. However, there was a lot left unsaid towards the end of season two, with Colin Bridgerton, Penelope Featherington, Eloise Birdgerton, and Edwina Sharma’s relationships developing and fading.
Simone Ashley stated that she wants Edwina’s story to develop in the following seasons, and if the scene between the queen and the youngest Sharma is any indication, a royal wedding may happen in season three. One in which Sharma meets the queen’s nephew Prince Friedrich (Freddie Stroma), who Queen Charlotte verified was still single after being rejected by Daphne Bridgerton in season one.
