Tudum happened yesterday and we didn’t get nearly what I expected to get. And I honestly was incredibly disappointed because I had such high expectations. I feel like Netflix just messes with us all the time. However…
I’m going to relish in what they did give us. Mama Nic knows what we all need and I know she was dropping hints and all kinds of things yesterday. Everybody see the non spoiler spoiler of “Luke and I broke a piece of furniture”? Too good.
There were also non confirmed rumors and things floating around that I suppose are worth mentioning and I don’t know if we believe them or not even though most leaks end up being correct where Netflix is concerned:
1. Potential 12/14/23 release date. Netflix Portugal posted the first stills of season 3 along with this date which was quickly deleted. They have done this before so…if it ends up being 12/14 we have to find ways to entertain ourselves for the next 5-6 months.
2. Potential 10 episodes? There was an article floating around with captions of which episodes they were from. The one picture said it was from episode 10. After checking IMDb it is still slated for 8 episodes and I honestly don’t think they have strayed from this. I’d love to have 10 episodes but I really think it ended up being a typo. The article was also edited and the caption now reads “in an episode” instead of “in episode 10”
Now onto my thoughts/analysis of the pictures.
1. They both look stunning. And I was so happy that out of the pictures we got they’re all just of them which I think really means they’re hyping up this romance. There weren’t pictures of like Portia or other minor/major characters and I would have felt incredibly jipped if they had gone that way.
2. Not necessarily about the stills but Nicola invited us along in the carriage ride and my little Polin heart almost exploded. We are definitely getting the carriage scene. I’m living for it. There was no mention of mirrors but she did also mention fans of the books know what she’s talking about and what we’re in for so…I’d say mirrors are going to be big in season 3.
3. The first picture and the last picture show Pen in the same dress. The news article reported this as being from episode 2 so…if we already get a kiss in episode 2 I may 🪦 on the spot.
4. I’m thinking these stills are all from episodes early on in the season. The picture of Colin solo we know will be from episode 1 as he’s returning from abroad. The only one I’m not sure about is the one where they’re smirking at each other. I’d love to think that maybe this is them post marriage but I don’t think it is. Time will tell. I’m wondering if this is more of a day party (maybe with an eclaire?!?!) I’d love it.
Here are the pictures:
