The ton is abuzz with gossip, and for once, it's not about who's courting whom. "Bridgerton" Season 3, the steamy period drama that's become a global phenomenon, has officially cemented its place as Netflix royalty, racking up a whopping 91.9 million views in just its first 45 days. That's right, dear readers, this season is on track to become one of the streaming giant's biggest English-language hits ever.
A Scandalous Climb Up the Charts
While Netflix measures its "most popular" list based on the first 91 days of streaming, "Bridgerton" Season 3 wasted no time in making its mark. Even with a staggered release schedule (the final episodes dropped on June 13th), the show has already secured the coveted No. 10 spot on the all-time English-language series chart.
To put that into perspective, Season 2, which had fans swooning over Anthony Bridgerton's enemies-to-lovers romance, sits at No.
9 with 93.8 million views. And if that's not impressive enough, Season 3 is hot on the heels of heavyweights like "Stranger Things" and "The Night Agent".

A Legacy of Love, Scandal, and Record-Breaking Views
It's clear that "Bridgerton" isn't just a passing fancy; it's a cultural force. The show's ability to seamlessly blend opulent period detail with modern sensibilities, diverse casting, and of course, those steamy romance plots, has captivated audiences worldwide.

With several siblings still waiting for their happily-ever-afters, and Lady Whistledown's quill poised to spill more secrets, the ton is far from ready to bid farewell to this beloved series.
