Season 4 of Bridgerton debuted on Netflix with 39.7 million views in its first four days, topping the streamer's charts for the week of January 27 to February 1. This marks a 12% drop from season 3's record opening of 45.1 million views in 2024. Despite the decline, the Regency-era drama continues to draw strong audiences, with potential for further growth over coming months.
The fourth season of Bridgerton achieved 39.7 million views within its initial four days on Netflix, securing the position as the most-watched title during the specified week. This performance, while solid, represents a 12% decrease compared to the third season's launch in 2024, which set a franchise record at 45.1 million views. Season 3 maintained momentum by lingering in the Netflix Top 10 for 11 weeks and ranking as the ninth most popular English-language series ever, amassing 106 million views in its first 91 days.
The new season's release has revitalized interest in prior installments. Season 1 re-entered the charts at number 10 with 2.7 million views, while season 3 climbed to eighth place with an identical 2.7 million views. Nestled between them at number 9 was season 5 of Stranger Things, which premiered on Thanksgiving Day and concluded its run on New Year's Day.
Bridgerton's dominance extended beyond its latest episodes. The Netflix Top 10 for English-language content that week featured His & Hers in second place with 11 million views in its fourth week, followed by Finding Her Edge at 6.7 million in week two. Skyscraper Live, documenting Alex Honnold's free solo climb of Taipei 101, secured fourth with 5.3 million views. Debuting comedies included Mike Epps' Delusional at 3.8 million in three days and Bert Kreischer's Free Bert at 3.7 million in week two, with Agatha Christie's Seven Dials rounding out the top seven at 3 million views in week three.
As season 4 settles in, its viewership trajectory mirrors the sustained success of earlier seasons, suggesting ongoing appeal for the period romance series amid Netflix's competitive landscape.
