Netflix’s Bridgerton has fast become one of the streamer’s most popular hit series, which soon inspired plenty of fan theories, content creation and original music.Following the season 1 premiere of Bridgerton in December 2020, Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear announced their intentions to make their own musical inspired by the show via TikTok.
After going viral on the social media platform, the musical duo were eventually able to record their numbers on an “unofficial” soundtrack album, which is currently streaming on Spotify.
