Finally, the long-awaited first part of Bridgerton season 3 dropped on Netflix on May 16! The show features Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton’s love story and a newly introduced character, Lady Tilley Arnold (played by Hannah New), a bad-ass wealthy widow who is buzzing up the internet with her bold persona.
According to executive producer Jess Brownell, Lady Tilley Arnold was not inspired by any character from the Bridgerton books.
It can be assumed that the character is introduced just to spice up the romantic angle of Benedict Bridgerton (played by Luke Thompson).
In season 3 of Bridgerton, Benedict starts to string up casual romances with Tilley Arnold.
Hannah New says Lady Tilley is essentially a wealthy “bad-ass widow.”
She said,
“I’ve just learned so much playing her,” New says. “She’s the most wonderful, independent, sex-positive woman that lives her life for herself and also is about finding the other person’s authentic being and connecting with that.”

Despite Being In A Casual Romance With Benedict Bridgerton, Lady Tilley Arnold Is Anticipated To Become Single
Lady Tilley Arnold appeared in episode 1 ”Out of the Shadows,” episode 3 ”Forces of Nature,” and episode 4 ”Old Friends,” of season 3 of Bridegerton (2024), aired on May 16.
She can be a good match for Benedict Bridgerton, who hardly fits into society and never feels he would fully fit into the art world.

As a new prospect for season 3 of Bridgerton,” Lady Arnold is the most bold, intelligent, intriguing, and forward-thinking go-getter.
She relishes her power and independence, and she effectively manages her late husband’s estate.
Her character brings new dynamics, plot points, and energy to the show; however, as per the predicted story plotline, Benedict doesn’t end up marrying Lady Arnold.
