Bridgerton has been listed in Bazaar’s top 20 best period dramas and has been hailed by fans and critics alike as the “greatest period drama of all time”
This period drama has been praised as one of the “greatest of all time” and it’s streaming on Netflix right now.
Bridgerton is a Regency romance television series developed by Chris Van Dusen for Netflix. The show is adapted from the book series of the same name by Julia Quinn, and it marks production company Shondaland’s first scripted production for Netflix.
Three seasons have been released so far, each of which centers on one of the tight-knit siblings of the prominent and powerful Bridgerton family as they move through the intensely competitive social season, during which young marriageable nobility and gentry are introduced to society and are looking for a spouse.
The series is set during the early 19th century in an alternative London Regency era, reports the Express. There has also been a spin-off series called Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. The fourth season is expected to air in 2026.
The first season synopsis reads: “Bridgerton follows Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor), the eldest daughter of the powerful Bridgerton family as she makes her debut onto Regency London’s competitive marriage market. Hoping to follow in her parent’s footsteps and find a match sparked by true love, Daphne’s prospects initially seem to be unrivaled.
