Right on the heels of Bridgerton’s official season 3 filming announcement came the news that three new cast members will join the Ton for the upcoming social season.
The plot of Season 3 seems to be veering wildly from the books, so we are excited to see the character that these three new cast members will play. Unfortunately, they are not based on anyone in the book, so we only know what Netflix and Shondaland have shared with us!
James Phoon
James Phoon is set to play the dashing Harry Dankworth. Shondaland described his character by saying, “all those serious good looks go a long way in making up for a certain lack of wit and intelligence.”
Phoon does not have a long list of acting credits to his name. Instead, the newcomer is mainly known for this work on BBC’s “Wreck”.
According to IMDB, his previous theatrical work includes ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’ in the West End and voiceover work on several video games and animated projects. James is of both East Asian and British heritage.
