Nicola Coughlan is sharing new behind-the-scenes moments for Bridgerton fans as the show reaches an impressive milestone!
“Season 3 just entered the Netflix Top Ten of all time because you’ve watched billions (!) of hours of it which is mental,” the Irish actress, 37, captioned a carousel of photos and videos on Instagram on Thursday, July 4. “I’m so grateful, so please accept some miscellaneous behind the scenes [sic] joy as a thank you!”
The set of photos and videos included a snapshot of Coughlin — who plays Penelope Bridgerton (neé Featherington) on the hit Netflix show — and her costar Luke Newton (who plays her on-screen love Colin Bridgerton) gazing at each other while sitting on set in their characters’ wedding outfits.

It also featured the actors goofing around on set with costars Adjoa Andoh and Will Tilston, who play Lady Agatha Danbury and Gregory Bridgerton on the show respectively.
In a few funny snapshots, the cast matriarchs Polly Walker (Lady Portia Featherington) and Ruth Gemmell (Lady Violet Bridgerton), posed for a silly photo while eating, and Gemmell sat on Coughlan’s lap while they both wore cozy jackets.

Coughlan’s post also included a video of the Bridgerton wedding ceremony set and a video of the cast playing charades, as their characters do on the season.
The Derry Girls star shared a similar post of behind-the-scenes moments via Instagram in June, captioning the shots “Bridgerton on Film.”

She also revealed that she picked up photography as a hobby thanks to Newton, 31, who gave her the camera.
“Still learning so they’re not all amazing but lots of beautiful memories 🩵,” she continued. “Camera the best gift from @lukenewtonuk.”
