It surpassed the previous title holder, ‘Inventing Anna’, which tallied nearly 196 million hours in its own first week on the platform.

The Shondaland-produced series was also in the Top 10 in 93 countries. Not only did Bridgerton season 2 hold such accolade, but Bridgerton season 1 was the number two series on Netflix last week.

Season 1 accumulated a viewing duration of 53 million hours as Bridgerton fans waited for the next season to unravel.

While season 1 focused on the passionate dynamic between Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon, the Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page), its sophomore run shifts the focus on Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) and his enemies-to-lovers trope, involving Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley).
