  • Bridgerton has become one of Netflix's tentpole series, with the franchise including the prequel Queen Charlotte amassing over 100 million views for its latest season.
  • The expanded agreement covers development of feature films, games, live events, and merchandise, while Netflix will continue supporting Shondaland's inclusion initiatives, such as the Ladder Program.
  • Season 5 of Bridgerton is currently in production in London, while Rhimes' long-running Grey's Anatomy remains a consistent performer on the streamer entering its 23rd season on ABC.
