Netflix had a massive hit on its hands when the story of the Bridgerton family began streaming on December 25, 2020. Viewers particularly of the female persuasion gravitated to the tale of love set in London's Regency era. It took a queer woman to bring the project to life with Shondaland, a television production company helmed by Shonda Rhimes.
Season two surpassed the first season and is the most-watched English-language television series on Netflix. It premiered on March 25, 2022, to positive reviews and a new storyline.
