‘Bridgerton’ Season 3 Soundtrack Includes BTS, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift and Nick Jonas Covers (EXCLUSIVE)

With “Bridgerton” Season 3 set to launch this week, prepare to be swept away with more orchestral pop covers from artists including the Vitamin String Quartet, which delivered covers of Ariana Grande’s “Thank U, Next” and Madonna’s “Material Girl” in previous seasons of the Netflix drama.

This time, Billie Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever,” BTS’ “Dynamite” and Sia’s “Cheap Thrills” are among the songs reimagined by the quartet on the Part 1 soundtrack.

Nick Jonas’ “Jealous” is covered by Shimmer, an Los Angeles based band. And Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey’s “Snow On The Beach” is covered by Atwood Quartet, set to feature in Episode 4 of the show.

“Bridgerton” Season 3 will include a total of eight episodes that are split into two parts. The first four episodes premiere on May 16 on Netflix, and the next four debut on June 13. The soundtrack will also be released in two parts, with Part 1 dropping on May 16.

“Bridgerton” Season 3 music supervisor Justin Kamps said to Netflix’s Tudum website: “I start to try to think of songs from the past that could maybe work for this and then also current hits that could possibly make sense.”

Kamps added, “It’s really down to the script and then the themes. And sometimes initially it’s about what matches the choreography and then later it’s about what matches the scene and the emotion.”

This season the musical moments don’t just appear in the ball sequences, as Kamps teased that he found other moments to inject songs into.

Also returning this season is composer and music supervisor Kris Bowers. Teasing a new theme for Penelope (Nicola Mary Coughlan), Bowers said, “To be able to write a new theme for Colin (Luke Newton), a new theme for Penn, a new theme for the two of them together was a lot of fun and definitely infused a new feeling into the sound and score for this season.”

Bowers added, “My thinking behind Colin and Penn was how much of it was this timidity and this two steps forward, one step back kind of thing. The theme that I wrote melodically has this shape to it that’s meant to evoke this feeling of stepping forward and leaning back.”
