  • "Bridgerton" season three adapts Julia Quinn's fourth novel from the "Bridgerton" book series.
  • However, the show's plot strays quite a lot from "Romancing Mister Bridgerton."

"Bridgerton" season three might be based on "Romancing Mister Bridgerton," but the Netflix series took some major liberties with the source material.

Season three follows the general book plot by adapting Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton), adapting key scenes in their friends-to-lovers journey. But the rest of the story is filled with changes, including the love triangle in season three, part one.

This is not uncommon for "Bridgerton," which has been a roaring success since its first season and is one of Netflix's most-watched series ever.

Here are the best and worst changes "Bridgerton" season three made from the books.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Bridgerton" season three, part one, and "Romancing Mister Bridgerton."
