Netflix has released its first-ever engagement report, providing more transparency into viewership data than ever before. The most popular shows on the streaming platform include global hits, shows for teens and stories with women in the lead.
The FBI thriller “The Night Agent,” the first two seasons of “Ginny & Georgia,” the Korean drama “The Glory,” Jenna Ortega’s “Wednesday,” the “Bridgerton” spin-off “Queen Charlotte,” the fourth Season of “You”, the third season of the soap opera “La Reina del Sur”, the third season of “Outer Banks” and “FUBAR” by Arnold Schwarzenegger are among the ten most-watched series or films on Netflix from January to June 2023. depending on the platform.
The top 100 – among more than 18,000 titles available on Netflix – include the fourth season of “Manifest,” the second season of “Firefly Lane,” the Jennifer Lopez thriller “The Mother,” Eddie Murphy's “You People,” both seasons of “Sex/Life,” reality shows like “Perfect Match” and the fourth season of “Love Is Blind,” as well as awards hits “The Diplomat” and “Beef.”
“The Night Agent”
Netflix has historically been selective about revealing audience habits, highlighting high-performing content in “Top 10” or “Most Popular” lists rather than more robust consumption numbers. Newly published data publicly reveals for the first time which series and films are watched the least.
According to Netflix, shows in languages other than English, such as “The Snow Maiden” (Spain), “The Empress” (Germany) and “Fauda” (Israel), accounted for 30% of the most viewed content by viewers. Original series and films accounted for 55% of viewing time, while 45% was licensed content such as Grey's Anatomy and Suits, both of which have found new audiences on the platform.
The first season of Suits, which originally aired for nine seasons on USA Network, was the 67th most-watched series on Netflix as of June of this year, and that was before the series' summer revival.
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos praised the success of “Suits” by introducing the new engagement report during a press call with reporters including CNN on Tuesday.
“What's interesting is that a show like Suits, which has been running for a long time in the US, was available on Peacock and Amazon for a number of years before coming to Netflix,” Sarandos said. “And yet we've been able to tap into this huge global audience, and it's the combination of our large subscriber base and our recommendation system that has managed to get 'Suits' in front of the people who would love it most.”
Netflix plans to publish viewership data for the second half of 2023 in the new year.
