The comedian’s latest Netflix special The Dreamer was No. 2 on the English-language TV charts from January 1 to 7, its first full week on the streamer. During that window, it managed 10.2M views, which is pretty substantial for a one-hour comedy special.

The top spot on the English TV charts went to Fool Me Once, which was also the most-watched title across the platform for the week with 37.1M viewers. The entire eight-episode series dropped on Netflix on January 1, so this accounts for an entire week of viewing.

The release of the new Money Heist spinoff also put the original series back on the map. Part 1 returned to the non-English list at No. 10 with 1.5M views.

Spanish-language content performed well on Netflix during this period, with the new film Society of the Snow also putting up a strong 22.9M views.
Speaking of non-English titles, Lupin: Part 3 secured tenth place on Netflix’s most popular list. with 50M views, putting all three parts of the French series among the streamer’s most popular non-English titles of all time.
Netflix also debuted The Brothers Sun during this interval, and it managed to take No. 5 on the English-language list with 4.1M views. Also on the list were My Life With the Walter Boys at No. 4 with 4.4M views and You

Editor’s note: Underplayed in the media intrigue over the prospect of Warner Bros swallowing Shari Redstone’s empire that includes Paramount and CBS is the gloomy reality that another storied Hollywood studio could go the way of Fox. That went from a vibrant multi-faceted creative content-generating enterprise to a headstone, when Rupert Murdoch decided to cash out for Disney stock. David Zaslav spent 2023 kicking employees and finished films to the curb to pay down debt just to get this far; chances are more blood will spill down Melrose if Redstone sells some or all the pieces of Paramount to be mashed into an existing studio. When Bill Mechanic was perched atop Paramount, Disney and Fox, he built Disney’s home video from a $30 million to $3 billion business, and found ways to take risks and squeeze max returns from blockbusters from Braveheart to Titanic, Independence Day and many others. Who better to remind Hollywood that once a major studio dies, it never comes back, and that there might be better ways to squeeze better performance out of an established creative business with global pipelines?
