Netflix’s original series Bridgerton has broken a major streaming record with the release of its third season, which is currently sitting at number 1 on the site’s global top 10 series chart.
But the impressive part is that only four episodes have been released so far, withBridgerton season 3 part 2scheduled to drop in mid-June, meaning these stats are just for half of a season. In comparison, the second season managed to tally just over 193 million hours of viewing time globally, but that was for a full season. Unfortunately, the viewing stats for season 1 are not available.
The London-based Regency-era drama, which currently sits at an impressive 85% onRotten Tomatoes, follows eight siblings of the Bridgerton family as they each attempt to find love in high society. Season 3 focuses on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and his slow-burn friends-to-lovers relationship with Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan), who just so happens to be the town’s secret gossip.
The only hurdle to pass now is the coveted overall top 10 most popular list where the rankings are worked out based on the amount of views a title has views over its first 91 days of release. Both prior seasons of Bridgerton currently rank among Netflix’s 10 most popular English-language series, with season 1 in fourth place and season 2 in ninth.
Bridgerton season 3 part 2 will premiere on Netflix on June 13. Seasons 1, 2, and part 1 of 3 are available to stream on Netflix right now. For more, check out our list of thebest Netflix shows, or keep up withnew TV showshearing your way this year.
