A quieter week within the Netflix high 10s final week as Squid Recreation took over the slate for the week and rightfully so with season 3 at present beating season 2 when it comes to views to this point, however there’s an extended solution to go. A brand new Netflix documentary a couple of cruise ship full of sewerage and poo managed to interrupt a Netflix documentary report this week and we’ve additionally bought updates on Dept. Q and Ginny & Georgia.
Observe: On this report of Netflix’s hours considered from June twenty third, 2025, to June twenty ninth, 2025, we’ll use “Full Viewings Equal,” or CVE, expressed in tens of millions. Which means we divide the hours considered introduced by Netflix by the runtime of movies or collection. It permits for higher comparisons between movies and collection, nevertheless it’s not an viewers metric. It’s the minimal variety of viewings in the event that they had been all full from the primary second to the final second of the movie or season.
1. Squid Recreation season 3
Will Netflix expertise one other world phenomenon like Squid Recreation? This small South Korean collection was launched with comparatively little fanfare after which exploded in reputation, turning into the most-watched Netflix Unique collection thus far with over 600 million “views,” based on Netflix. I wouldn’t wager in opposition to Netflix on this recreation, however whereas the success of Adolescence has proven that English-language collection can get away, it’s simpler mentioned than achieved for a global present. In any case, the ultimate season of Squid Recreation was launched final week (on Friday, not Thursday, not like the earlier season), and its launch set a brand new report with 60.1 million CVEs in its first three days.
It’s a much bigger launch than each elements of Stranger Issues Season 4, and even in comparison with the premiere of Squid Recreation Season 2, Season 3 is performing barely higher, as outlined by the graph beneath, which takes under consideration the times of launch.
It won’t do in addition to season 2 over the course of the subsequent weeks, however for the reason that season is already in the all-time Top 10, we are going to see its evolution over at the least the subsequent twelve weeks.
2. Trainwreck: Poop Cruise
One other report was damaged this week, simply so . Trainwreck: Poop Cruise had the most effective launch for a Tuesday-released documentary, with 21.1 million CVEs in six days — far forward of The Hatchet-Wielding Hitchhiker. This one won’t find yourself within the all-time High 10 (alas) nevertheless it’s not crappy in any respect.
As you could know, the Trainwreck documentary series is working all all through the Summer season of 2025, with extra on the best way all through July together with The Cult of American Attire which simply launched this week, The Actual Challenge X on July eighth, Balloon Boy on July fifteenth, P.I. Mothers on July twenty second and Storm Space 51 on July twenty ninth. Efficiency on Poop Cruise can be onerous for these different docs to high as a result of 21M views is much and away past the ~6M views Mayor of Mayhem and The Astroworld Tragedy picked up:
3. Dept. Q
The British collection Dept. Q continues to carry on and is displaying a pleasant upward trajectory. Over its first 28 days, a renewal appears virtually sure, because it sits nicely above the hazard zone the place KAOS was cancelled (23.7M CVEs vs. 15.5M). The one unknown is what Netflix’s expectations had been for the collection — in the event that they had been hoping for extra, issues could be trickier. It’s not a slam dunk, removed from it, with Supacell delivering over 6 million extra views in the identical interval, and Black Doves and The Gents considerably extra.
4. Sirens and Ginny and Georgia are twins.
Presently, within the High 10, two collection are engaged in a battle for the ages: the restricted collection Sirens and season 3 of Ginny & Georgia are neck and neck over their first respective 4 weeks, with basically the identical trajectory. It’s not the primary time this has occurred, as many applications have very comparable trajectories over their first weeks of launch. Nonetheless, it’s the primary time it’s occurred for a collection current within the High 10 on the similar time.
That’s all for this week. Be at liberty to tell us what you suppose within the feedback beneath.
