Netflix's Steamy Showdown: Outlander vs. Bridgerton

Netflix subscribers have been enjoying a vast array of shows and movies, but few have captured their attention quite like Bridgerton. Known for its sultry Regency romance, one might assume it holds the crown for streaming's most-watched NSFW scenes. However, a new study reveals that Bridgerton comes in second place.

The Unlikely Champion: Outlander

While Bridgerton has been a hot topic since its Christmas 2020 debut with steamy scenes set to Taylor Swift tunes, it’s Outlander that takes the top spot in this racy competition. According to research conducted by Hidden, Outlander, a series known for its dramatic blend of romance and fantasy, leads in popularity for its explicit content.

"It's fascinating to see that Outlander, with its long-standing fanbase and extensive content library, surpasses Bridgerton's brief but intense offerings," commented a media analyst.

Meet the Stars Behind the Scenes

Outlander, starring Caitríona Balfe and Sam Heughan, first premiered in 2014 and quickly captivated audiences. The show, based on Diana Gabaldon's beloved novels, has released six seasons and part of a seventh, providing ample content for eager viewers seeking a touch of romance with their fantasy. With 73.55 thousand people searching for Outlander’s sex scenes monthly, it's no wonder it ranks higher than Bridgerton, which draws 57.36 thousand monthly searches.

Why Outlander Tops the Charts

Though initially surprising, Outlander's lead over Bridgerton makes sense when considering the series’ longevity and extensive back catalog. There's plenty of material for fans to enjoy, making it a go-to for those seeking engaging and romantic escapades. This dynamic duo of shows offers viewers the perfect blend of historical intrigue and modern sensibilities, proving that Netflix knows how to keep audiences hooked on more than just plot twists.
