The Bridgerton period drama is boosting the economy as well as racing pulses – bringing in an estimated £275 million.
Netflix says the Regency-era series, which has become a global hit, has created jobs, helped 5,000 British businesses and encouraged tourism.
However, the figure announced by the streaming giant does not include spending on tours or themed merchandise.
Make-up, carpet and duvet companies have agreed to collaborate, and retailer Primark has its own range of Bridgerton pajamas.
The show has also sparked a ‘Regencycore’ trend, with fans flocking to stately homes and parks in filming locations including Buckinghamshire, Somerset, Hertfordshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire and London.
Visit West, an economic partnership for local visitors in the west of England, believes Bridgerton has brought in £5 million worth of tourism.
Her third series, starring Nicola Coughlan as Penelope Featherington, is her most ferocious yet.
Theresa Wise, President of the Royal Television Society, said: “It is remarkable how much Bridgerton has resonated with audiences around the world.
“But she did more than that.
“It has created jobs in the local area where it was filmed and has saved more than a quarter of a billion pounds for the UK economy.”
Series creator Shonda Rhimes added yesterday: “Works of art and culture can make a significant economic contribution to local communities.
“I couldn’t be prouder.”
It comes after Warner Brothers said last year that the Barbie film, much of which was filmed in Watford, gave the UK economy an £80 million boost.
