WWE Raw Topples Bridgerton As Netflix’s Number 1 Show Right Now
Bridgerton has finally been toppled from the top spot on Netflix’s list of most popular shows in the UK right now.
The forbidden romance between Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Baek (played by Luke Thompson and Yerin Ha) had captured the hearts of the country, resulting in Bridgerton occupying the number one position on Netflix’s chart for almost two weeks.
However, that love affair is apparently now over – at least temporarily, given that the second half of the season will premiere later this month.
According to the streamer, part one of Bridgerton’s fourth outing has amassed 23.4 million viewers globally since it premiered at the end of January.
In its place, the WWE Raw has now once again risen to the top of the chart, solidifying to Netflix that it made the right decision to stream wrestling content on its platform.
WWE Raw is followed on the streaming chart by Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich. Despite the Netflix original documentary first being released in 2020, the recent publication of his emails has evidently piqued users’ interest in the prolific sex offender.
Other shows currently on Netflix’s most-watched list in the UK at the time of writing include the new series of original drama The Lincoln Lawyer and German spy thriller Unfamiliar.
Meanwhile, the Tessa Thompson crime series His & Hers is still holding strong in the top 10, more than a month on from its early January release.
This week, also added all 15 seasons of ER to their platform – and considering that everyone seems to be watching the George Clooney medical drama at the moment, we can expect it to appear in the top 10 in the coming days.
Part one of Bridgerton season four is now streaming on Netflix, with four new episodes of the hit period drama being released on 26 February.
