Ah, Jonathan, what a beautiful man you are 💗
i read the spoilers for the first episode of Bridgerton, and it looks like [Spoiler (click to open)]Kanthony is going to extend their honeymoon and we're not going to see them until the second part.

[nutella_forever]

This is very disappointing, but it would explain the lack of presence of Kanthony from all the promos and stills that were released

[rabbitofalice]

I think they wouldn't promote the couple regardless.
Kanthony can outshine Polin, the promo reel you posted about already outnumbered anyone else's on Instagram, and i heard it's the same for other social platforms.
I really wish they gave them spin-off, they had so little time together in their season.😢

[nutella_forever]

If they had given us the correct amount of time between them in season 2, we wouldn’t be so feral for them in season 3

So far they seem to be only in 3 scenes, all of the stills and promo have them on these clothes:
- the ballroom with Kate’s anachronistical dress
- the scene with the table shown in the trailer
- the scene where Colin arrives and they are all together

Jonathan said that they filmed on weekends while he was filming fellow travelers during the week and preparing for wicked as well, so I fear that they did not film many scenes and we’ll not see a lot of them 🥺

!!!

Plus one intimate scene

I’m still hoping they squeezed the most of his time for my favorite couple 😌

Jonathan was filming Fellow Travelers and prepping for Wicked while they were filming Bridgerton S3 so I think he had limited availability.

[rabbitofalice]

They still should’ve include Kate in family scenes, she’s the head of the household

[heathermooney]

Bridgerton took priority and his other works had to work around his Bridgerton schedule

[braindiva]

I know that is the case for regulars on traditional network/cable TV, but I'm not too clear if contracts are structured the same way with streaming shows. (Regé-Jean Page was apparently free to leave after the first season, which I don't think would happen on a regular show.) With Bridgerton, they've been filming at such different times, and with different characters having various levels of involvement. I'm not clear if it's negotiated for each season. Again, I think Bridgerton has been a boon for most of the cast so of course, they'd want to stay on the show. But I wouldn't be surprised if Jonathan had negotiated a certain number of days on set or something like that (or if he was more available for some weeks of the shoot).

I don’t know about Wicked because he said this during Fellow Travelers promo but he said that Bridgerton was nice to let him do other things and the FT worked around his Bridgerton schedule to make it work
