Netflix's Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Is Set To Become Most Popular Series Of All Time
With an additional 158.68 million viewing hours, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story maintained its number-one ranking for the second week in a row. In the four days following its premiere, it had 148.28 million hours of viewing time worldwide.?
The Shonda Rhimes-created prequel series will probably join Bridgerton's first two seasons on Netflix's list of all-time most-watched shows.?
More than 600 million viewing hours of Bridgerton seasons one and two were logged in each of their first 28 days on the streaming service. In contrast to Bridgerton, Queen Charlotte features fewer episodes that are an hour long. If it does, it will be the only show with only six episodes to make the all-time top-rated list.
According to HT, the first two seasons of Bridgerton also made a comeback in the weekly top 10, with season 1 garnering 23.88 million viewing hours at number five and season 2 collecting 17.25 million at number nine, coinciding with Queen Charlotte's Netflix trend.

The popularity of the prequel series has fans asking if they will get to see more of Charlotte and George. Shonda told Deadline, "There have been questions, but I'm not having conversations about it yet. I could live with Charlotte and George forever, but we told a very specific, closed-ended story that I think is a complete tale of this complicated, imperfect love. But I'm not ruling anything out because I never know." She had added, "Although the story is almost complete, chances of another season cannot be ruled out."
Shonda wrote the series, which is based on the novels of Julia Quinn. Following their early years after marriage, it features India Amarteifio and Corey Mylchreest as Queen Charlotte and King George III, respectively.?
Along with Arsema Thomas, Sam Clemmett, Freddie Dennis, Michelle Fairley, and Golda Rosheuvel from Bridgeton, the cast also includes Adjoa Andoh, Ruth Gemmell, Hugh Sachs, and Michelle Fairley. Tom Verica, who also directed a few episodes of Bridgerton, has directed all of the episodes.
Cast
In the star-studded cast of the legendary prequel, India Amarteifio, who plays the younger version of herself, and Golda Rosheuvel, who is playing Chalotte, are some familiar names. However, Corey Mylchreest co-stars with India Amarteifio as the youthful Charlotte. Other significant characters from the show include Lady Danbury, who is portrayed by Arsema Thomas as a younger version. Connie Jenkins-Greig, plasy a young Violet Ledger, is one of the interestingly revived important characters from the television series.
