Viewers of Netflix’s Bridgerton are in a tizzy after experiencing the series’ longest (and hottest?) sex scene yet following the premiere of Season Three, Part Two.
Fans of the hit show — and the books they’re based on — have been holding out for the second half of the latest season after the first instalment ended on a heart-racing cliffhanger.
The conclusion of Season Three’s fourth episode saw Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) asking whether Penelope Featheringrton (Nicola Coughlan) was going to marry him after a rather scandalous romp in a carriage (IYKYK).
While that moment was spicy as is, episode five had fans in a tizzy when Polin (Colin and Penelope) consummated their relationship during a six (!!) minute scene set to an orchestral arrangement of Ariana Grande‘s POV.
What have Bridgerton fans said about the show’s longest-ever sex scene?
Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), Bridgerton viewers reacted to what some are dubbing “one of the hottest sex scenes [they’ve] ever seen”.
“JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL… NICOLA AND LUKE WELL F**KING DONE,” one congratulated the show’s stars.
“Nicola Coughlan did not lie. This was truly the BEST sex scene of the Bridgerton universe and just like Penelope I too was left wanting more of it,” another expressed.
A third agreed, adding: “Uh sorry not sorry but that was the best sex scene in Bridgerton ever lmao I SAID WHAT I SAID.”

Fans flocked to the comment section to congratulate the actors, with one celebrating their “great fake humping”.
