Don’t rule out a Bridgerton video game: Netflix looks to expand its hit period series
According to information, Netflix and the show’s production company have on the table to bring the IP to new formats.
Netflix seeks to position its latest productions as great franchises, and that also includes Bridgerton , its period romance that has ranked as the most viewed original in the history of the streaming platform according to the company. Now, the expansion of the IP may have one of its stops in video games, with an adaptation that seems to be on the table according to the THR portal.
Details on what this adventure could be like? None at the moment, although everything seems to indicate that the service of series and movies on demand seeks to repeat the formula of other successful works such as Stranger Things, adapted as classic RPGs . In addition, it is not the first time that an IP of Shonda Rhimes, a Bridgerton producer, has been brought to the video game. In this sense, in 2009 Ubisoft released Grey’s Anatomy: The Video Game on PC and Nintendo Wii , a title based on the ABC series with negative reviews.
While the Bridgerton video game arrives or not, Netflix works on a themed dance to celebrate in London at the end of the year, as well as a convention, following in the footsteps of the recently held on The Witcher that left us the first trailer of the second season from The Witcher as well as new DLC for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with the Netflix adaptation of Geralt of Rivia as protagonists.
