Just as the ton was settling down following last week’s “Bridgerton” Season 2 renewal, Netflix has revealed Wednesday another piece of juicy gossip about the Shonda Rhimes-produced period romance: “Bridgerton” is now Netflix’s biggest series ever, crushing even the streaming service’s own launch viewership projections.
According to Netflix, a record 82 million households around the world chose to watch “Bridgerton” in the first 28 days since its Christmas Day 2020 launch, the time period Netflix focuses on when sharing its own viewership statistics, making it the No. 1 show in Netflix history in that metric. Netflix counts a view whenever someone watches at least two uninterrupted minutes of a show or movie.
