There is still electricity being transmitted to all 3 lightbulbs, but the one that heated up too much or that just broke is not going to be able to collect the transmitted energy, therefore, it's basically like having no lightbulb there at all.

Although one of the lightbulbs can no longer produce light, the circut is still active, thus the other lightbulb can be emitting light too.
