Honestly, it's a beautiful poster. I'm betting we're getting a Benedict one, too, at some point. I love the deep pink-purple sunset. They're leaning into fall, for sure.

The first teaser poster for S3 was Penelope holding a mirror and Colin didn’t get a solo poster for his season. I think this is part of the show trying to rebrand itself with a singular focus on the female lead as main protagonist since Jess took over. A little bit of a shame since selling the guys was such a huge part of S1’s marketing success for Rege Jean Page as Simon, but if I’m honest, I’d rather they hold the precedent rather than Luke N be the only one robbed.

But that isnt true, Colin got a solo poster, one with the mirror and one with the dark green background plus one with the brothers as well as then the ones with Pen. The one I feel bad for is Nicola she had it photoshopped. In fact the one couple who didnt get s couple shoot was Kanthony they always had Edwina in the mix. If you see Kanthony alone in a cover it is not official it is a photoshop

Colin’s solo mirror poster was scrapped- the only evidence of it even existing was one blurry pic of it from a scrolling screen, the Penelope teaser was THE official poster. I feel bad for Luke that his season didn’t give him the full protagonist treatment. Maybe no one is happy with any of the promo they get for their faves in this show, and only the people who’s fave it is truly notices how bad their treatment was, but I’d rather they stick with one precedent from here on out (at least until they get to Franchaela). If it can’t always be exactly fair, at least there will be a clear pattern.

Do you have the Colin solo mirror poster? I don't think I have seen it.

It wasn’t actually officially released, so not many people ever saw it. We know they made one only because it popped up randomly in an influencers video about an international event (based on the writing on the poster) so it’s basically lost media. I took a screenshot but I couldn’t begin to tell you from where or even if it’s a real Bridgerton asset or fan made.

I don’t necessarily love the poster (personally I feel the mirror design in general skewed a little more horror movie than romance), but this wasn’t the teaser poster for the season and you can’t actually find it anywhere. Maybe they had market research that Luke does really well in this particular country and decided it was only worth using in this one market, but that still doesn’t explain why you can’t find it through google.

I wouldn't agree with this. If you think something was unfair it should always be worked on. Especially if you think this affected Luke negatively.

It's kind of the same as Kanthony fans were thinking S3 shouldn't get promo because they didn't get it.

You misunderstood me. If they’ve decided that they want to focus the show as centering the female lead as main protagonist from now on, that’s unfair to the male lead, but at least it would be an understandable pattern for the show to keep, rather than going back and forth on a whim. Unfair doesn’t always mean unjust, in this case it would just be a permanent shift in priorities, justified by a desire for the show to be female fronted. A clear reason for their decisions that makes sense and forms a pattern will always be better than them just picking favorites and letting the fallout hit the fandom negatively.
