‘Queen Charlotte’ Takes Nielsen Streaming Crown In Debut Week, Prompting Surge In ‘Bridgerton’ Viewership
deadline.comQueen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story was crowned No. 1 on Nielsen’s streaming charts for the week of May 1 to May 7. The Bridgerton prequel series debuted on May 4 and saw an impressive 1.9B viewing minutes in its first few days on Netflix.
That’s quite the feat for a title with only six hour-long episodes. The series was already declared a certified hit by Netflix, which reported earlier this week that it has racked up 432.2M hours viewed to date.
June 1 marks the end of the 28-day measurement period for Queen Charlotte, so the series’ final viewership tally will be in next week from Netflix.
