‘Bridgerton’ is Netflix’s ‘biggest series ever’
CNNCNN Business — Netflix has just claimed its biggest hit ever with “Bridgerton,” a drama set in Britain in the early 1800s. The company also claims that the show has “made the top 10”in each of its markets except for Japan, and has hit number one status in 83 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Brazil, France, India and South Africa. “Bridgerton” has been likened to “The Queen’s Gambit,” in that it “defies tradition, and demonstrates that period dramas are not limited in scope or audience,” Jinny Howe, vice-president of original series at Netflix, said in the statement. Netflix last week noted that, even though Disney+ had a “massive first year,” Netflix still “recorded the biggest year of paid membership growth in our history.” — Frank Pallotta contributed reporting.
