The third season of Bridgerton has premiered to remarkable success, securing the show’s best opening weekend in Netflix rankings.
A Massive Viewership Surge
The first half of Season 3 racked up an impressive 45.05 million views globally after its May 16 premiere, translating to about 165.2 million hours of viewing time. This is a significant leap compared to Season 2’s 193 million hours of viewing time for the entire season.
Comparative Success
Season 3’s shorter runtime of 220 minutes is considerably less than Season 2’s 510 minutes, yet it still managed to pull in a higher viewership within the first four days compared to past seasons.
Strong Reception and Anticipation
The show’s continued success can be attributed to new showrunner Jess Brownell who brings deep knowledge of the genre, saying, I always loved movies, and I experimented with writing plays and short film scripts…
Global Impact and Future Prospects
The rising subscriber base on Netflix has also contributed to this viewership spike. Moving forward, Bridgerton‘s third season shows strong potential to continue breaking records as it ranks second among all titles for single-week views since June 2023.
In comparison, the only title ahead is Millie Bobby Brown’s Damsel, which gathered 50.8 million views, making it Netflix’s highest-watched movie thus far.
