One of the most-watched series on OTT for its pure tale of fantasy, and is set in the backdrop of Victorian English high society.  This series gives the viewers  insight into the wealth, lust, and betrayal during a fictionalised Regency Era England, through the lens of the Bridgerton family. This series boasts of an Emmy award-winning and over 50 nominations for various other awards. On today's Now You Know, I shall treat you to some exclusive trivia that you may not have known so far. I'm your host Nikhil, let's kick-off!

1. Season 1 of the series saw some classical covers being used from celebrity artists and their hit tracks like Ariana Grande: Thank U, Next (2018), Maroon 5 feat. Cardi B: Girls Like You (2018), Shawn Mendes: In My Blood (2018), Billie Eilish: Bad Guy (2019), Taylor Swift: Wildest Dreams (2015) and Celeste's ‘Strange’.

2. The series’ costumes could not be hired from external sources or even rented. Most of the costumes had to be customised for the show exclusively as the series director wanted to introduce modern elements and colours into the Bridgerton costumes. Hence a whopping 7500 pieces were tailor-made for the show's first season by the designer Ellen Morijnick.

3. There is an inside musician’s joke when Lady Featherington makes a reference to a piano piece being played by Mozart, but actually it's Beethovan’s  piano piece called Sonata.

4. Have you ever noticed in the series that the Bridgerton family always wear pastels in shades of blue and pink, whereas the Featheringtons always wear bright colours with patterned clothes in shades of yellow or green. 

Well, that's some lesser-known trivia about the popular series Bridgerton for you on OTTplay Now You Know. I shall be back again with another episode pretty soon. Until then it's your host Nikhil out of here.
