The second season of “Bridgerton” has now surpassed its predecessor to become Netflix’s most-watched English-language series to date.
With 627.11 million hours viewed in its first four weeks, the new run has just beat out the first season which comes in second with 625.49 million hours viewed over its first full four weeks. That 28-day mark is Netflix’s primary metric to determine a show’s success.
How long it will hold the crown remains to be seen – the third season of “Stranger Things” is in third place with 582.10 million hours, and with that show’s fourth season soon to launch – it might challenge the Shondaland series.
That said, none of them will come close to taking the most-watched series overall crown, that belonging to South Korean-sensation “Squid Game” which still holds the overall championship record at 1.65 billion hours viewed.
