The recently released television period drama series, Bridgerton, received a thumbs-up from the audience and critics alike. The show based on Julia Quinn’s novels released on December 25, 2020, on Netflix. Within a month's time, it has made history. The Chris Van Dusen-created series has reportedly been watched by 82 million households around the globe within the first 28 days of its release.
The eight-episode long series has apparently surpassed Netflix's biggest series, The Witcher, that released in 2019 and was watched by 76 million households in the first four weeks of premiere. The Henry Cavill-starrer fantasy series also released in December.
