Bridgerton: How much is Nicola Coughlan worth as season 3 set for release date and season 4 confirmed

Bridgerton is finally returning to Netflix for season 3 this week, with more dating, drama and dresses to keep us entertained. Based on the book series by Julia Quinn, Bridgerton focuses on the love lives of the well-to-do Bridgerton family in Regency-era London. The eight-episode series will be split into two parts, with a release date only days away. 

It’s expected Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton’s characters of Penelope and Colin will be the main focus this season, as we watch their friendship grow into a full-blown love affair, with the trailer also hinting at a possible love triangle. So, how much did Coughlan get paid for her role?

The exact figure of Coughlan’s salary for her starring role in Bridgerton is not confirmed, but the actor has as estimated net worth of £1.6 million according the The Mirror.

However if what season 1 star Regé-Jean Page turned down to reprise their role is anything to go by, its a lot. According to Hollywood Reporter, Page reportedly declined a huge sum as a guest star on season 2 of Bridgerton. The actor was asked to return for three to five episodes, netting $50,000 for each one, but turned down the opportunity for "a multitude of reasons”.
