The hit show “Bridgerton” is officially the most-watched Netflix original series in the company’s history.

The show, based on a book of the same name by Julia Quinn, surpassed even the streaming service’s own rosy projections in its first season by earning 82 million views, Deadline reported Wednesday.

Bridgertonportrays upper-class life in Regency England, giving a subversive take on the period with color-blind casting and a storyline that heavily focuses on the lives of women.

The series was released Dec. 25 on Netflix and was described by GQ Magazine as a combination of “Gossip Girl” and “Downton Abbey.”

“I think the show really provides an incredible escape for audiences at a time where that’s exactly what’s needed,” director Chris Van Dusen said.

“‘Bridgerton’ is this lavish, vibrant, steamy Regency love story; it is about romance, love and joy; I think all of those things are really universal themes people are responding to.”

Netflix tweeted out a message of appreciation to the show’s fans on Wednesday, thanking them for making “Bridgerton” a hit.

Regé-Jean Page, who plays The Duke of Hastings, also posted a photo with the entire cast and crew thanking fans for their love and support.

Last week Netflix announced Bridgerton will return for a second season, and will focus on the elder Bridgerton child, Anthony, portrayed by Jonathan Bailey.

It remains unclear how many of the show’s season one cast will be returning.
