BTS rocks the Netflix series again! After Emily in Paris, BTS's global hit “Dynamite” is set to light up the skies of the upcoming third season of Bridgerton. The news has been confirmed by the streaming giant itself, as it unveiled the lineup of orchestral songs that will be featured in the third installment of the series based on Julia Quinn's 21st Century book series. The season, which focuses on Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton's love story, is set to begin this week.
BTS Dynamite to light up Bridgerton 3
The highly anticipated third season of Bridgerton is upon us, with the first four episodes dropping on May 16. To heighten the excitement, the show brings back its signature touch with a new set of orchestral pop songs. Prepare to be transported to the other side of the world with reimagined tracks from some of your favorite artists, all performed by the Vitamin String Quartet, best known for their enchanting sets by Ariana Grande and Madonna in years past.
Speaking of which, BTS, the K-pop group that includes the seven Jungkook, Jimin, Jin, RM, Taehyung, Suga, and J-Hope, will also be making their debut in the series with their Billboard-topping track, of course. It's reminiscent of 2022 when the Vitamin String Quartet asked ARMYs to suggest a song they'd like to hear in the upcoming Bridgerton series, and it looks like 2020's hit song Dynamite won the race. However, many argued that the group's black swan song was better suited for the show, given its subject matter, but the filmmakers chose the summer anthem instead.
