With a combined viewership of 70.4 million in the two weeks since its release, “Bridgerton” Season 3 is already nearing viewership numbers of series on Netflix’s most-watched-ever list, including “The Witcher” Season 1, which sits in the No. 10 spot with 83 million views, and “Bridgerton” Season 2, which took the No. 9 spot with 93.8 million views.
Notably, three-part docuseries “Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal” was the week’s third most-watched show with 6.3 million views, while new Shane Gillis series “Tires” took the No. 7 spot on the list with 3.8 million views.
On the film front, Jennifer Lopez-led “Atlas” scored the streamer’s biggest audience this week as it tallied 28.2 million views. “Thelma the Unicorn” and “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs” came next with 10.7 and 9.5 million views, respectively, while “Mother of the Bride,” which stars Miranda Cosgrove and Brooke Shields, came in fourth place with 9.3 million views.
