‘Below’ Stays Atop Netflix TV Top 10 With 21 Million Views as ‘The Diplomat’ Returns Even

Ben Affleck's "Animals" continues to dominate the film list with nearly 31 million views The post ‘Below’ Stays Atop Netflix TV Top 10 With 21 Million Views as ‘The Diplomat’ Returns Even appeared first on TheWrap .

Netflix's Canadian drama "Below" maintained its top position on the streamer's English TV list for a second consecutive week, garnering an impressive 21.2 million views. The Canadian monster mystery series, starring Josh Hartnett, outperformed any other Canadian original title on Netflix, surpassing its impressive initial week of 17 million views.

This achievement comes at a crucial time for Netflix, as the streamer braces for its third quarter earnings report and implements a 6% workforce reduction along with leadership reshuffling, including the dismissal of chief content officer Bela Bajaria.

Adding to the drama, Netflix's critically-acclaimed fourth season of "The Diplomat" debuted to 4.8 million views within four days, maintaining its No. 5 spot on the list. The show, starring Florence Pugh, has already accumulated 25.3 million views across three weeks of viewing, driving a remarkable 156% increase in first-time listeners for the audiobook version on Spotify.

In addition, Netflix's documentary arm produced two top five series, "Instadocs: AI Gone Wild" (No. 3 with 5.1 million views) and "Tyson" (No. 4 with 5.1 million views), both investigating high-profile incidents.

On the film side, "Animals" continued its dominance of the Netflix film list, amassing 30.8 million views. These rankings were reported just hours before Netflix's third quarter earnings report, further underscoring the streaming platform's strong performance amidst its recent operational adjustments.
