Say it like you mean it, sister. Hollywood actress Nicola Coughlin says that Bridgerton’s popularity has been mind-blowing for her. The incredibly popular Netflix show has been a monster hit for Netflix, with the streamer reporting that a record 82 million households devoured the series’ eight episodes in the first month after its 2020 release. HEre’s what you need to know.

The show, based on a series of books of the same name by Julia Quinn, follows the eight siblings of the Bridgerton family as they attempt to find love in Regency England. Speaking to Tatler about the fact that Kardashian and the Duchess of Cambridge are fans of the show, Coughlan said: “It’s crazy to think that something you made has been seen by that many people in the world. It’s quite mind-blowing.”

Speaking about her on-and-off-screen close friend Claudia Jessie, Coughlan said: “She’s a vegan Buddhist, she lives on a canal boat and only wears second-hand clothes. “To talk to her is fascinating.”

Last year, Netflix had announced that it  renewed the Regency-era drama from Shonda Rhimes for a third and fourth season. Yet, the announcement came only a few days after it was reported that breakout star Rege-Jean Page (Simon Bassett) would not be returning to reprise his role. However, the second season will focus on Anthony Bridgerton’s (Jonathan Bailey) love life in the steamy series.

Producer and creator Shonda Rhimes responded the news by putting out a statement that said, “From the first time I read Julia Quinn’s delicious Bridgerton series, I knew these were stories that would captivate a viewing audience. But the evolution of this adaptation would not be a success without the many significant contributions of the entire Shondaland team.”
