Bridgerton viewers discover a new way to watch the carriage scene, and now Netflix is encouraging it. Based on the books by Julia Quinn, the first part of Bridgerton season 3 was released on May 16, following another member of the titular family, Colin (Luke Newton), as he finds love with Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan). Their longtime friendship slowly transitions to romance throughout the first four episodes, culminating in the carriage scene as Colin confesses his feelings for Penelope, and they share a passionate kiss.

On X, formerly Twitter, users noted how enjoyable it is to watch Bridgerton season 3’s carriage scene with the audio description turned on, and Netflix responded by posting the scene in question with its steamy audio description. Check out the exchange below:

Netflix posted the carriage scene with audio description in response to @venusjmi who says, “just watched the carriage scene with the audio description and i’m unwell.”

@loveconquers0 says, “Okay, I’m definitely going to rewatch Bridgerton Seasons 1-3 with audio description on the whole time. It truly adds a whole other level of understanding to the show.”

Why Bridgerton Season 3’s Carriage Scene Is So Important

Colin and Penelope’s carriage scene is the standout moment from the first four episodes, occurring during the Bridgerton season 3 part 1 ending. The moment is pivotal for the two characters, who had only been circling each other romantically until then. It’s a crucial scene in the book and an equally significant moment in the Netflix series, signifying the moment that Penelope and Colin become much more to each other than they had previously dreamed, especially for Penelope. The carriage scene is also charged with steaminess and a sense of thrill and danger, given their risk of being caught.

The highly anticipated scene in the show, despite some adjustments, retains its essential spirit and importance for Colin and Penelope’s evolving relationship. Colin’s feelings were already starting to shift after Penelope asked him to kiss her, and the carriage scene cemented this change. Just as the bee scene was vital for Anthony and Kate in Bridgerton season 2, Penelope and Colin’s carriage scene is crucial for their romantic progression. After Lord Debling’s departure, there are no more barriers between Colin and Penelope, allowing them to fully embrace their romantic connection.

Penelope and Colin’s carriage scene in the show, while steamy and thrilling, is slightly different from the books. In Romancing Mister Bridgerton, the carriage scene occurs after Colin finds out that Penelope is Lady Whistledown, leading to a heated argument, but also an eventual kiss. Nevertheless, Netflix’s audio description isn’t all that different from reading Penelope and Colin’s carriage scene in the book, as it’s almost like watching an audiobook.
