Los Angeles, USA
Netflix said Wednesday that “Bridgerton,” Shonda Rhimes’ latest television hit, is the most-watched series in the digital giant’s history.
The platform said in a press release that 82 million accounts saw “Bridgerton” in the first 28 days after the fantastic Christmas premiere.
In the case of Netflix audience data, it’s a good idea to go with potential, as the method used by the platform to define a viewing is highly controversial: it’s enough for a user to watch specific content for two minutes for it to be counted.
But in any case, and no matter how dubious Netflix presents its successes (there is no news of its failures), “Bridgerton” has risen above other phenomena such as streaming services such as “The Witcher”, “Lupine”, “The Queen’s Gambit” or even “Stranger Things”.
Last week, Netflix has confirmed that there will be a second season by “Bridgerton” through the series’ mysterious narrator, Lady Whistledown.
In a note signed with his own handwriting, this character revealed that the next season of the series will focus on the family’s older brother, Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and that he will start filming in the spring.
“This author has been faithfully informed that Lord Anthony Bridgerton intends to dominate the social season,” said Lady Whistledown, who warned that she would have her pen “ready to recount all her romantic activities.”
Although no further details have been released, it is assumed that Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and the Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page) will continue to be part of the plot of this series of captivating periods that caused a sensation in cinemas. the last few weeks.
