This sets a new record for the highest debut week viewership on Netflix. The previous record was held by Wednesday Season 1 in 2022, which garnered 50.1 million views.
Within just one week of its release on December 26th, the show climbed to 7th place in Netflix's all-time rankings for most popular non-English TV shows.
