Almost exactly a month before its debut on Netflix, the numbers are in confirming the streaming service has a huge hit on its hands.
The Nielsen streaming ratings for the week of April 14-20 confirm this show had a massive debut, coming in second on the overall charts behind another Netflix show: Black Mirror.
The show is such a hit that fans have been consistently taking to social media to clamor for a second season.
While Netflix has not confirmed the renewal yet, some even think it will be announced during the live Tudum event at the end of May, hosted by Sofia Carson.
What is this huge new hit show? It’s none other than Ransom Canyon, starring Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly, which THR reports amassed 1.12 billion viewing hours for its first week.
Ransom Canyon was by far the biggest debut of that week, and had the second-most viewing hours of the week overall, behind Black Mirror (1.58 billion viewing hours).
