BTS Confirmed For Netflix’s “Bridgerton,” But ARMYs Have Mixed Reactions

Netflix and Shondaland‘s hit period drama Bridgerton, adapted from Julia Quinn‘s novel series, is returning with its third season this week. Season 3 focuses on fan-favorite characters Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton).

One thing that makes Bridgerton unique is that it features orchestral covers of pop songs. American musical group Vitamin String Quartet covers genres of music, including pop and rock, metal, emo, punk, techno, country, and hip-hop, as they reimagine popular music artists. Their covers have been featured on TV shows Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries, House, and Modern Family, but several times in Bridgerton.

In 2022, Vitamin String Quartet asked ARMYs via Twitter (now X) what BTS song they would like to hear in Season 3 of Bridgerton. They hashtagged both BTS and Bridgerton.

Do we have any #Bridgerton and #BTS fans in the house? If you could hear one track from our upcoming #BTS album in S3, which one would it be? 🤔💜🎻

Now that Bridgerton Season 3 Part 1 is releasing in just a few days, Netflix revealed the orchestral covers we’ll hear, and sure enough, a BTS song was listed. It’s none other than “Dynamite!”

THIS JUST IN: Orchestral Covers you'll hear in Bridgerton Season 3 Part 1:

Billie Eilish, Happier Than Ever
BTS, Dynamite
GAYLE, abcdefu
Pitbull, Give Me Everything
Nick Jonas, Jealous
Sia, Cheap Thrills
Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey, Snow On The Beach

ARMYs couldn’t be more excited. We’re really going to hear “Dynamite” this season!

Still, some were disappointed. Many felt that the BTS song included in Bridgerton should have been “Black Swan.”

“Black Swan” was the most popular choice when the Vitamin String Quartet asked ARMYs what they wanted to hear.

ARMYs are hoping that “Black Swan” might still be included, though. Only the tracklist for Part 1 was released. Part 2 will be released next month.

So, we still have hope. “Black Swan” would be amazing in Bridgerton.

Do you think Colin and Pen will dance to a BTS song? Only time will tell. Check out Bridgerton Season 3, Part 1, on May 16, and Part 2, on June 13.
