What is the surname of the family in the Netflix series 'Bridgerton'?

The surname of the family in the Netflix series Bridgerton is Bridgerton.

The series follows the noble Bridgerton family during London’s Regency-era social season. Violet Bridgerton is the widowed matriarch, while her eight children are Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory, and Hyacinth Bridgerton.

The family name is also tied to Anthony’s inherited title: he becomes the 9th Viscount Bridgerton after the death of his father, Edmund. This can create confusion because other prominent families have titles or names that dominate the story, including the Featheringtons, the Cowpers, and the Hastings family connected to Simon Basset.

Bridgerton is adapted from Julia Quinn’s eight-book Regency romance series, with each novel focusing primarily on a different sibling’s romantic story. The television adaptation premiered on Netflix on December 25, 2020, and uses Lady Whistledown’s narration to frame the family’s fortunes, scandals, and relationships within the ton.
