‘We are dead’ is officially Netflix’s new bombshell, since Korean zombie fiction has achieved one of the best premieres of all time for a series on the platform. Specifically, it has added 124.79 million hours played during its first three days available on the platform.
An unquestionable bombshell
In this way, ‘We are dead’ has managed to exceed the data achieved by the new seasons of ‘Cobra Kai’, which made 120.06 million, or ‘Emily in Paris’, which reached 107.64 million, just a weeks, and has almost tied with what was achieved by the third of ‘Sex Education’, which stood at 125.77 million. Somewhat further are the 142.43 million achieved by the second season of ‘The Witcher’ during the same period of time. Little joke.
In fact, not even ‘The Squid Game’ achieved a better premiere, since it stayed at 63.19 million hours during its first weekend, being the following week when it became an unrepeatable success by adding another 448 .73 million hours. Nothing suggests that ‘We are dead’ can repeat that success, but That “victory” is no longer taken away by anyone.
What does seem evident is that ‘We are dead’ will end up among the ten most popular non-English speaking Netflix series during their first 28 days on the platform. Currently, the Top 10 closes with the 230.26 million hours achieved by the second season of ‘La Reina del Flow’. It would be very rare if ‘We are dead’ did not comfortably exceed these figures in just a few days…
