Bridgerton Season 4 Part 2 Dominates Netflix Ratings

The final four episodes of Season 4 of “Bridgerton” were released on February 26, 2026, propelling the series back to the No. 1 position on Netflix's Top 10 list. The season garnered a total of 28 million views during the week of February 23 to March 1, a figure calculated by dividing the total hours viewed by the season's runtime. This performance matches the viewership of Season 3's debut, which also recorded 28 million views during its Part 2 release in June 2024.

Despite a slight decline in viewership from the initial release of Season 4, which debuted with 39.7 million views, the drop of 29% for Part 2 is considered relatively strong compared to other Netflix series. For instance, “Stranger Things” experienced a more significant 42% decrease in viewership from its first to second season. The viewership metrics for “Bridgerton” indicate a solid fanbase, although Season 4 has not yet entered Netflix's top 10 most-watched TV shows, where Seasons 1 and 3 rank at No. 7 and No. 9, respectively.

The release of “Bridgerton” Part 2 had a notable impact on the Netflix rankings, preventing “The Night Agent” Season 3 from claiming the top spot. “The Night Agent” Season 3 remained in second place with 9.9 million views during its second week, while other shows like “Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model” and “Love Is Blind: Ohio” followed with 3.8 million and 3.1 million views, respectively.

Netflix has not released specific statements regarding the viewership numbers for Season 4, but the data reflects the ongoing popularity of “Bridgerton” as a flagship series for the platform. The viewership counts for both Part 1 and Part 2 will be monitored from January 29 through April 29 and February 23 through May 24, respectively.

While the viewership numbers are impressive, some critics argue that the series has not maintained the same level of engagement as its earlier seasons. The decline in viewership from the initial release of Season 4 has raised questions about the show's long-term appeal and its ability to attract new viewers.
