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.

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.
