Netflix latest weekly ratings report paints a mixed picture for two high profile dramas, with one established hit losing momentum while a network series gains unexpected traction on streaming.
The Night Agent returned for its third season with 8.4 million views, securing the number two position on the platform weekly chart. By most standards, that is a strong premiere
week performance. However, the number marks a sharp decline from Season 2, which debuted with 13.9 million views under a similar release pattern. The drop represents roughly a 40 percent decrease in opening audience, signaling that the political thriller has not been able to replicate the explosive momentum it once enjoyed.
The contrast becomes even clearer when looking back at the series first season. When Season 1 launched in March 2023, Netflix was still measuring viewership in hours viewed. It amassed 168.7 million hours in its opening week. Under the current reporting method, that total translates to approximately 21 million views, a significantly higher starting point than either of the subsequent seasons. The strength of that debut helped place the show at number ten on Netflix Most Popular English TV list, alongside titles such as Bridgerton, The Queen’s Gambit, Dahmer Monster The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Stranger Things and Wednesday.
