Netflix has announced the most viewed shows and films on its streaming platform, and there are some big-hitters in the respective top tens. Check them out to see how many of them you have seen, and don’t forget to make a note of the ones you have yet to watch, as they are clearly worth having a look at!
Saucy period drama Bridgerton is Netflix’s most watched TV show ever, with an incredible 82 million subscribers giving the show a look during its first 28 days on the streaming service. This totals an astonishing total of 625 million hours of viewing.
If you haven’t checked out the show, its narrative focuses on eight close-knit siblings of the Bridgerton family, who are looking for love and happiness in London high society. The first season, inspired by Julia Quinn's bestselling novels, starred Phoebe Dynevor and Regé-Jean Page. The latter famously left the show, much to the dismay of fans, at the end of the first season, and has been tipped as a future James Bond.
Production of season two of Bridgerton has been delayed more than once by cases of Covid-19 on-set.
As reported by The Mirror, the top ten list of Netflix’s most viewed films and shows was announced by Ted Sarandos, the streamer’s co-CEO, at a conference in Beverly Hills.
Bridgerton’s place at the top of the list is under threat though, as South Korean horror-thriller series Squid Game, which has only just landed on the streaming service, looks like it will take over as number one in the not-too-distant future. Mr Sarandos said: “We did not see that coming, in terms of its global popularity.”
Stranger Things, The Queen’s Gambit and Tiger King also make the top ten.
Meanwhile, the most watched film on Netflix is Extraction, which has pulled in an extraordinary 99 million views. Sandra Bullock’s Bird Box comes in second with 89 million streams. The Irishman and Enola Holmes are also in the top ten.
