00:00Season 3 of Bridgerton just scored the show's biggest opening weekend to date.
00:05According to Netflix, the first half of season 3 racked up 45.05 million views worldwide after
00:11its May 16 premiere. Given that views are calculated by total hours watched divided
00:16by running time, that's about 165.2 million hours of viewing time total.
00:21Oh, it's good to see you.
00:23Is it?
00:24Something wrong?
00:24Seems as if every Bridgerton was born to attract notice.
00:27For some of us, notice is very slight.
00:30In addition to breaking its own opening weekend mark with part one of season 3,
00:34Bridgerton also recorded the highest single weekly view count for any Netflix series,
00:38regardless of language, since the streamer started ranking its titles by views in June 2023.
00:44When stars Nicola Coughlin, Luke Newton, and Claudia Jesse sat down with The Hollywood
00:48Reporter for a special in-studio interview, they shared how the steaminess of the new season
00:52compares to that of previous installments.
00:55I think it just, again, like previous seasons, just feels really
00:59true and appropriate to their love story. It feels, you know, we had sort of that
01:04longingness of last season where they didn't quite get there.
01:08Both prior seasons of Bridgerton currently rank among Netflix's 10 most popular English
01:13language series, as measured by views over their first 91 days of release.
01:18Part 2 of season 3 will drop on June 13.
