Following the premiere of 'Bridgerton' Season 4, a new romantic period drama, 'Sandokan: The Pirate Prince,' has rapidly ascended to the top of Netflix's U.S. Top 10 list. The series, noted for its gritty tone and 19th-century Southeast Asian setting, offers a stark contrast to the more genteel world of 'Bridgerton.'
Intrigue surrounds 'Sandokan: The Pirate Prince' due to its compelling genre blend of romance, fantasy, and high-seas adventure, set against the backdrop of the 19th-century British Empire. The show features notable actors such as John Hannah and Ed Westwick, adding to its appeal.
Originally airing on an Italian network, the series is noted for being in English. Netflix has acquired the streaming rights for Season 1 for a two-year period, extending through early 2028. The show has also been renewed for a second season in Italy, though its availability on Netflix remains uncertain.
