It has also become the third show ever to claim the top three spots on its charts in a single week, after Stranger Things and Money Heist, and the first since 2022. Season 2 scored 4.9M views in the week to put it second among the top 10 non-English shows, while Season 1, which has been in the top 10 for over 30 weeks, added another 3.8M views.
If you’ve seen the final episode [SPOILER ALERT],you’ll understand why Netflix would like to keep the alley way open for potential spinoffs, such as the David Fincher-led project that Deadline told you about last year.
Elsewhere this past week, The Old Guard 2 debuted at No. 1 on Netflix’s English-language film list with 37.5M views. The original of the Charlize Theron-fronted action movie, which is based on the graphic novels by Greg Rucka, was released in 2020 so it’s impossible to make comparisons. However, the original film did spent another week on the top 10 list with 9.5M views after adding 3.2M views last week.
