“Bridgerton” Renewed for 2nd Season as Netflix Viewers Swoon Over Soft Core Sex-and-Royalty Fantasy

Not surprising, “Bridgerton” will return for a second season on Netflix. The Shonda Rhimes produced soft core sex and royalty fantasy is a total hit. Viewers can’t get enough of this trashy fun series, the stars are getting huge promotion, and the Netflix PR department successfully planted a story that Porn Hub is now littered with clips from the show.

But it’s cold, winter, pandemic, isolation, all of these things have made “Bridgerton” what “Game of Thrones” was in its early seasons. Remember the original “GoT” was full of sex scenes, it was like porn, too. Then, when it became mainstream, story and character took over.
