Netflix's Bridgerton Sweeps Globally - Season 2 Breaks Records with Regal Romance and Scandal
With its new season, Netflix's Bridgerton has topped the charts again. Viewers have already watched 174 million hours in just a few days, making it number one worldwide. Many are either exploring the series for the first time or revisiting previous seasons, with older seasons also appearing in the Top 10. Based on Julia Quinn's novels, Bridgerton transports audiences to the competitive world of early 19th-century London high society. The series follows the eight Bridgerton siblings as they navigate the marriage market and attend lavish parties. In the first season, Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) seeks a love like that of her parents, but her brother's interference complicates matters. The season introduces Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page), the season's most eligible bachelor, and sparks fly between him and Daphne as they navigate a pretense. When Lady Whistledown (voiced by Julie Andrews) orchestrates a scandal that puts Daphne's reputation at risk, she teams up with the duke to defend herself and challenge London's elite values. This engaging plot, along with the series' lavish production, helps explain its continued success and broad appeal.
