Our dear Polin Archaeologists, it’s time to retrieve your excavation tools from storage because we’re heading off on another crumbs expedition.

Join us as we revisit the ancient wonders of July and August 2022, breaking open the Season 3 filming tombs and peering inside to see what Polin treasures we can find.

We’ll be unearthing relics from an intriguingly decorated ball, dusting off the feathers of a Bridgerton debut and standing in awe before the Holy Grail of all filming leaks: Pirate Colin.

We’ll also be venturing back into the Polin archive to consult the aged scrolls of casting announcements, social media posts and plot synopses before dragging all our crumbs into the Polin Lab for a post-excavation analysis, all in an attempt to piece together our predictions for Episodes 1 and 2 of Season 3.

Beware of pirates. Beware of clowns.
