The television series “Bridgerton” — which seems to have attracted the kind of loyal following that “Downton Abbey,”“Game of Thrones” and “The Crown” inspired — has been a huge hit.
The first part of Season 3 of the popular and steamy romance set in the Regency-era (1795-1837) about a powerful English family is now available on Netflix. (The second part will be available on June 13.) You can view the season trailer — which has almost 8 million views —in the YouTube video at the bottom.
