Netflix given more than £32 million tax break for making racy costume drama Bridgerton in Britain
More than £160 million has been spent making Bridgerton since it went into production in 2018, meaning Netflix qualifies for a tax break called the audio-visual expenditure credit.
The first four episodes of the third series were released in May and the last four earlier this month, with viewers gripped by the love affair between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington, played by Luke Newton and Derry Girls actress Nicola Coughlan. Set in the 1800s, the show charts the romantic exploits and rivalries of the Bridgerton family as they rise through the ranks of London's high society. Netflix estimates the 'Bridgerton universe' has boosted the UK economy by more than £250 million through supporting around 5,000 local businesses which provide everything from food for the cast to the lavish period costumes.
