The Witcher is no longer Netflix’s biggest original series
Bridgerton smashes The Witcher's viewing figures

It’s official: corsets, cravats, and a whole lot of sex is a bigger draw than Geralt slaying monsters. Bridgerton is now the biggest Netflix original series of all time, toppling the likes of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher and Stranger Things in the process.
Bridgerton has been ‘watched’ (Netflix’sꦜ official metric for what constitutes watchin𒐪g a show is decidedly ambiguous) by 82 million people since its streaming launch on Christmas Day (H/T ).
Previously, The Witcher held that crown. The adaptation of Andrej Sapkowski’s novels and short stories arrived in December 2019 to the tune of 76 million viewers in its first 28 days. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher season 2 is already on the way and is currently filming.
Netflix has seen its numbers soar elsewhere. Recent French sensation Lupin, which saw early reactions herald it a⭕s an early contende⭕r for 2021’s best show, is already pr༒ojected to reach 70 million households. ൩Anya Taylor-Joy-led chess drama The Queen’s Gambit was also a surprise success with 62 million views.
But it’s Bridgerton they all have to beat. Its next biggest contender… might be itself. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sea🌺son 2 has🦩 been confirmed by Netflix, with actor Nicola C💞oughlan already hinting at costume fittings taking place.
It’s not just on television that Netflix is looking to dominate in 2021 and beyond. The streamer has announced plans to release a new movie every s✱ingle week this yearꦡ, with some of the biggest names in Hollywood – such as Dwayne Johnson, Leonardo Di Caprio, and Ga𒀰l Gadot – all showing up.
