SERIES – The Bridgerton Chronicle is a phenomenal hit on Netflix. Released on March 25, season 2 recorded 445 million hours of cumulative viewing in just ten days.
The series is an adaptation of the books of the same name written by Julia Quinn. His original work takes advantage of this popularity on Netflix to the great happiness of the author, as you can see in the video at the top of the article.
The Bridgerton Chronicle tells the story of the Bridgerton and Featherington families during the 19th century English Regency. The first season was released on Netflix on December 25, 2020 and more than a year later, it’s still a hit.
As often, once the episodes were watched, fans also rushed to the original books. A month after the release of the series on Netflix, 750,000 copies of The Bridgerton Chronicle had thus been sold in the United States, according to Publishers Weekly.
It must be said that the producer Shonda Rhimes has done a good job of adaptation. “There are millions of romance novel readers who were dying for something like this,” Julia Quinn explained in her interview with The Associated Press.
The publisher took advantage of the popularity of the series to highlight their books. “My publisher printed a whole bunch of new books with Regé-Jean Page and Phoebe Dynevor (the main actors, Ed.) on the front cover and they sold out instantly,” explained the author. “It was crazy, book sales just exploded. And not only in the United States, but also around the world”, rejoiced the author.
