These are the most successful Netflix series

Netflix recently announced which series had particularly steep starts – here comes the ranking.

Squid Game is the new number 1 when it comes to the series launches of Netflix in-house productions: Around 111 million viewers: In the first four weeks after publication, the work by South Korean director Hwang Dong-hyuk was proudly announced Twitter – more than in any series launch on the platform before.

At the code conference a few weeks earlier, the group revealed which series produced by Netflix had also attracted particularly high international interest when they were released. We have summarized the top ten rankings for you.

Overall, CCO presented Ted Sarandos two different approaches, which the streaming platform uses at the start of series.

On the one hand, Netflix evaluates the number of accesses who actually accessed a production within 28 days of publication. The company is not concerned with whether the audience has then watched the series in question in full; all accounts are counted that have remained there for at least two minutes after being switched on. The first squid game odds were probably calculated using this method.

The second variant is actually about which series were able to collect the most streaming hours in the first 28 days after their release – here, however, it should be noted that the series often differ in terms of the number and length of episodes. The list of the top ten is therefore completely different for some placements. We have considered both categories for you. How many hours Squid Game has already been streamed is not known, so it is currently hidden which place the series would occupy in the ranking according to the second evaluation method.

Around 60 million accounts accessed the DC fantasy adventure “Sweet Tooth” in the first few weeks after its release. In terms of the hours streamed, however, another production ranks 10th: “Ginny & Georgia” tells the stories of a mother-daughter team in dramedy format and collected 381 million streaming hours over the first 28 days.

After its publication, 62 million different accounts were interested in the historical chess drama “The Queen’s Gambit”, which was produced as a miniseries. The third part of the hype series “House of Money”, on the other hand, ranks 9th in the Watchtime ranking with 426 million hours.

According to Netflix, the bizarre and sometimes disturbing documentary series “Tiger King” recorded 64 million hits. It started in March 2020 and represented the machinations of the self-proclaimed “Tiger King” and private zoo owner Joe Exotic.
In the Watchtime ranking, eighth place is claimed by the science fiction mystery series “Stranger Things”. Season 2 of the multiple Emmy award-winning production brought Netflix 427 million streaming hours in the first four weeks after release.

Two different types of gloomy can be found in seventh place of the two rankings: The fourth part of “House of Money” received 65 million hits when it started in spring 2020, and the second season of the thriller series “You – Du will love me ”at the start.

“Stranger Things” is one the Series that not only take up one place in our list: Rank 6 in the view rating comes from 67 million hits after the publication of the third season. And “13 Reasons Why”, which is known in German as “Dead Girls Don’t Lie”, is mentioned here for the first time, but not for the last time in the list: The first season collected in the first few weeks after its premiere 476 million streaming hours.

The first season of the relationship drama series Sex / Life moved around 67 million Netflix customers when it started in 2021: inside at least one click. This puts the series on a par with “Stranger Things” Season 3 in 6th place.
In the streaming hours, “Dead Girls Don’t Lie” took another place in the ranking, this time with the start of season 2 and 496 million hours.

The first season of the fantasy series “The Witcher” brought Netflix around 76 million clicks at the start of 2019. But that’s not all: In terms of total hours, it is also in fourth place with 542 million.

There is a doubling of the number of views, similar to positions 5 and 6, also in positions 3 and 4: Just like “The Witcher” in 2019, the first season of the French mystery series “Lupine” brought about 76 million interested users to Netflix in 2021: Inside.
During the streaming hours we meet a well-known ranking participant once again: “Stranger Things” came to around 582 million hours after the start of the third season.

So far, unchallenged in first place, the historical romance “Bridgerton” is now slipping down to second place: When it was first released, the series recorded 82 million hits.
There is a reunion in second place in the streaming hours with “House of Money” – the fourth part of the production took up a total of 619 million hours for its viewers in the first four weeks after the start.

111 million: “Squid Game” now leads the ranking of hits after the start of the season with a vertical start. The previous access champion “Bridgerton” can at least currently claim the title in streaming hours with 625 million for himself – that is not yet available for Squid Game.
