Despite the passage of time, there are series that manage to remain at the forefront of success and one of them is Stranger Things. The four seasons of this series are available at Netflix, were celebrated worldwide. But last November, a new series appeared on the platform that surpassed all expectations: Merlina.
Merlina, starring the talented Jenna Ortega, made its Netflix debut on November 23, 2022 and quickly became a phenomenon. Not only because of its captivating story based on the iconic character of the Addams Family, but also because of the amazing production quality. In a short time, the series became the most-watched series in Netflix history.
It’s important to note that while Merlina was already in the TOP 10 most watched series on the platform, a recent change in how the stats are processed has pushed it to the top of the rankings. Netflix has decided to extend the evaluation period from 28 days to 91 days with the aim of allowing more growth for each production.
With this change, the numbers speak for themselves. In the first 91 days since its premiere, Merlina has amassed a total of 252,100,000 views while Stranger Things season 4 stayed at 140,700,000.
These results position Merlina as the most-watched English-language series in the history of Netflix. Globally, the Squid Game series remains at the top with 265,200,000 views.
The overwhelming success of “Merlina” once again demonstrates the appeal of a compelling story backed by quality production. Series fans are excited to see what the future holds for this new Netflix gem and what surprises await us in the coming seasons.
