In Its Third Week, ‘Merlina’ Makes Netflix History With Incredible Record Surpassing ‘Dahmer’

In the list of all the series that have been presented in the Netflix catalog since its inception until 2022, only 3 have managed to break the record of one billion hours watched worldwide: ‘Stranger Things’, ‘The Game of squid ‘ and ‘Dahmer ‘; however, the time has come to include ‘merlin’ in this top, which in just 3 weeks makes history on the streaming platform.

With 8 chapters produced by Tim Burton and protagonist Jenna Ortegathe series ‘Merlina’ not only broke the record of one billion hours watched, which places it as one of the 3 original (English-speaking) productions of Netflix most viewed in all of history, but also received another award.

On December 5, after a few months available on Netflix, the miniseries ‘Damer’ managed to reach the goal of one billion hours viewed on the streaming platform, however ‘Merlina’ managed to surpass this number in just 3 weeks of its debut on the streaming platform, which makes it the series that fastest achieved this record.

With this second data, Tim Burton’s “Merlina” makes history in the catalog as the series that has managed to pass the billion hours of fastest playback in the entire history of Netflix and there is no other title that surpasses it, in addition to the fact that it also left behind ‘Dahmer’ and is now the second most watched production of the streaming platform in history, behind ‘stranger things’.

‘Merlina’ may be the most watched series in the entire history of Netflix

The fact that it only took 3 weeks for ‘Merlina’ to reach one billion hours watched on the streaming platform confirms that in a few days it could become the most watched series in the entire history of Netflix if its pace continues in the same way as it has done so far.

There is no way to know if ‘Merlina’ will be able to surpass the numbers of ‘Stranger Things’ or ‘The Squid Game’ but the truth is that for the moment the miniseries starring Evan Peters has already managed to leave behind ‘Dahmer’, so there is a possibility that in the following weeks, the Addams family keep collecting hits.

Curiously, the great success of ‘Merlina’ was not enough for Netflix to confirm the long-awaited second season, however everything seems to indicate that it will eventually, since the story has been left open for the possible return of Jenna Ortega and Tim Burton to the streaming platform, though we’ll have to keep waiting for now.
