In Just 4 Days, Netflix’s Greatest Weekend Binge Series Raked in a Colossal 5.6M Viewers
By now, it’s no surprise that Bridgerton is one of Netflix’s most successful original series. Seasons 1 and 3, for example, are among the streaming giant’s 10 most-watched shows of all-time. So, perhaps unsurprisingly, the much talked-about Season 4 of the series is following suit.
Bridgerton‘s Season 4 of the series, which was released in two parts with Part 1 on January 29, 2026, and Part 2 on February 26, 2026, is seeing impressive viewership numbers. So much so that when Part 1 was released, the series quickly rose to the #1 spot worldwide, a position it’s once again snagged since the release of Part 2, per FlixPatrol. From the numbers alone, it’s safe to say Season 4 is giving the past seasons some tough competition.
‘Bridgerton’ Season 4 Racking Up Major Numbers
Season 4 of Bridgerton has been so successful that Part 2 of the series broke the viewership number set by Part 1. According to Samba TV and Broadsheet, Netflix saw 5.6 million households watching Episode 5 of the series in the first four days it was available. As a comparison, that’s an 11% increase from the viewership tuning in to Season 4, Episode 1 back in January. In other words, while fans were eager to watch the beginning of Season 4, even more of them couldn’t wait to see how the story continued in Episodes 5 to 8.
Per Tudum, the season so far has received 28 million views. The number combines both Part 1 and Part 2 of the series, meaning a viewership total for Season 4 Part 2 alone isn’t available. Season 3, for instance, which is #9 in Netflix’s most-watched shows of all time, was seen by a whopping 106 million viewers in the first 91 days since its release. So, while 28 million is still far behind it, Part 2 has only just reached the platform. Many million views will surely be added to the equation.
‘Bridgerton’ Season 4 Is Being Ripped Apart by Audiences on Rotten Tomatoes
Meanwhile, the critic score continues to climb.
What Is ‘Bridgerton’ Season 4 About?
Season 4 of Bridgerton follows the second-eldest son of the Bridgerton clan, Benedict (Luke Thompson), on his journey to find “The One.” The story kicks off when he falls head over heels for a masked woman in silver at a masquerade ball, and seemingly leaves his non-committal, rebellious days behind him just to find her. While searching, he sparks a connection with a sweet and fascinating maid named Sophie Beak (Yerin Ha) and their connection is undeniable. Can their love go beyond the societal expectations of the time? Will the Bridgertons accept Sophie as their own?
Like any season of Bridgerton, Season 4 of the series has continued to be a hit for Netflix. With over 28 million views so far, and viewers dropping everything to see Part 2 when it was released, it’s safe to say Season 4 of the series has kept the series’ magic. With a steamy romance, a gorgeous period setting and even societal commentary this time around, Season 4 has everything to potentially break into Netflix’s Top 10 of all-time.
