The new season’s first four episodes premiered on May 13, focusing on the blossoming romance between Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington.
Part 1 scored a massive achievement for Netflix in its first few days of release, debuting with an impressive 45.1 million views and 180 million hours viewed.
While this is lower than season two’s debut of 193 million hours viewed, this is because only the first half of season three is available, while the entirety of season two dropped all at once.
Bridgerton seasons 1-2 and season 3, part 1 are streaming now on Netflix, along with Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. Season 3, part 2 premieres on June 13.
