Bridgerton is an American TV drama released on Netflix. It was created by Chris Van Dusen and produced by Shonda Rhimes.
Bridgerton first premiered on Netflix on December 25, 2020 and has almost immediately become the most-watched series on Netflix. After the release of the Season 1 Bridgerton became No. 1 in 76 countries on the platform.
Bridgerton TV show is based on Julia Quinn‘s novels of the same title. It is set in the Regency era London, UK in 1813. It tells the tale of the Bridgerton family.
The TV Series’ most visible difference compared to the novels is that it is based in the alternative reality. In the TV show London is depicted as fully racially integrated, with many people of colour being part of the British high society (ton) and a person of colour being a sovereign.
