‘Queen Charlotte’ Takes Nielsen Streaming Crown In Debut Week, Prompting Surge In ‘Bridgerton’ Viewership

Netflix has made some big changes to the way it reports streaming viewership.

Queen Charlotte is all about marriage and romance - but it sounds like the cast themselves have been very lucky in love too! Sam Clemmett, who plays Brimsley in the hit show, recently revealed that he was celebrating that he and his wife Danarose Clemmett were celebrating their one-year engagement anniversary - and fans didn’t even realise that he had tied the knot!Sharing a snap of himself with Danarose, the actor captioned the post: "Been a year since we got engaged. Wow. Beyond lucky to call you my wife.

Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Warner Bros.’s “The Flash” and Disney/Pixar’s “Elemental” made theatrical debuts in China that were in line with their soft starts in North America and other international territories. “The Flash” captured the top spot in China with a $13.4 million (RMB94.8 million) opening weekend ($13.8 million including previews), according to data from consultancy Artisan Gateway. It deposed “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” which opened a week earlier and which slipped to second place in its sophomore frame. “Transformers” took a 69% fall and recorded $12.4 million between Friday and Sunday in China. That produces a $61.7 million cumulative after ten days in Chinese theaters.

Ted Lasso is moving its way up the Nielsen streaming charts.

Jon Burlingame “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” has one of the most complicated, and yet stylistically unified, scores of any series this year — Kris Bowers‘ original score, the 18th-century period music, and a surprising number of string-quartet covers of 21st-century hits. The Netflix series, a prequel to the 2021 hit “Bridgerton,” imagines a Black bride for England’s King George III in 1761, chronicling their initially rocky marriage and her gradual understanding of the monarch’s mental illness; flash-forwards to 1817 feature an older and wiser queen. Bowers, who earned two Emmy nominations for his work, returned for the prequel but took a different approach. “This show needed a level of intimacy that the score for ‘Bridgerton’ doesn’t necessarily have,” he says. “My initial instinct was to write for a smaller ensemble, and to mic and mix the music in a way that was more intimate and tactile, a sense of closeness to the instruments.”

Selome Hailu One of the most talked-about series on network television as of late has now made a showing on Nielsen’s weekly streaming rankings. “S.W.A.T.,” the CBS series starring Shemar Moore, took the No. 8 position with 625 million minutes viewed from May 15 to 21. This viewing window began one week after CBS canceled “S.W.A.T.” after six seasons on May 5 — then reversed the decision, renewing it for a seventh and final season on May 8. Additionally, much of its viewership success is likely due to the fact that the series’ first five seasons became available on Netflix on May 17, adding to the viewing hours measured on Hulu and Paramount+, where “S.W.A.T.” is also available.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor It took a village to build the costumes for Shonda Rhimes’ latest “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.” Costume designer Lyn Elizabeth Paolo and co-costume designer Laura Frecon paired up to tell young Queen Charlotte’s (India Amarteifio) story and her rise to power in Britain, after her marriage to King George III. But even though Rhimes told Paolo it was going to be a “small spin-off,” the costume designer who had worked with her on “Scandal” and “How to Get Away With Murder” knew that Rhimes would want “everything to be glorious.” There were going to be grand scenes, such as a funeral and a coronation. Frecon says, “We were told there were no balls,” referring to the grandiose costume fetes that marked almost every episode of “Bridgerton.”

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story continued its reign over Nielsen’s streaming charts from May 8 to May 14, but Jennifer Lopez’s The Mother gave it a run for its money.

Selome Hailu Missing for the third week in a row from Nielsen’s weekly streaming rankings is “Citadel,” Amazon Prime Video’s $185 million spy series starring Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden. The May 8-14 viewing window marked the series’ second full week of availability and its third week with a chance at making the chart, as it premiered on April 28, meaning that viewership during its first three days of availability would have counted towards the April 24-30 charts. During that first window, Nielsen noted that “Citadel” just missed the streaming originals chart (not to be confused with the overall Top 10 chart) bringing in 306 million viewing minutes and losing out on the tenth place position to John Mulaney’s “Baby J.” Nielsen did not provide information regarding the series’ viewership for the May 1-7 or the May 8-14 windows.

BreAnna Bell “Manifest” Season 4 returned to the Netflix Top 10 chart at No. 2 after the release of part two, which arrived on June 2. During the May 29 – June 4, the show was viewed for 39.4 million hours — that’s a slight drop from Season 4, part one’s release which opened on Netflix’s Top 10 at the No. 1 spot after its Nov. 4 release. The series scored 57.1 million hours viewed in its first three days of availability. Meanwhile, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “Fubar” continues to reign over the list of English TV titles with 88.03 million hours viewed and appeared in the Top 10 in 91 countries. In just 10 days, the action-comedy had nearly 25 million views. Netflix calculates total views (177 million hours viewed) by dividing the the total hours viewed by runtime hours (7.13 runtime hours).

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story's Arsema Thomas has opened up about the special bond she shares with co-star Golda Rosheuvel. The Bridgerton prequel, which debuted on Netflix last month, chronicles the origins of the titular character, whose rise to power and marriage to King George sparked both an epic love story and a societal shift in the Ton. The narrative is split between 1761 and 1817, with Rosheuval reprising her role as Queen Charlotte in the later timeline, while Thomas plays the younger version of Adjoa Andoh's character, Lady Agatha Danbury, in the earlier one.
