It’s no surprise that Arcane Season 2 is a big hit, especially after how popular Season 1 was. But it’s amazing to see just how many people have already watched the first three episodes!
Arcane Season 2 is currently the most popular show on Netflix, with a strong hold on the platform. And it’s not only popular in a few big countries—it’s a hit all over the world.
People all around the world are watching Arcane. While Netflix takes a few days to update its weekly numbers, the stats site FlixPatrol already has data from the show’s first day on the platform.
FlixPatrol tracks the most-watched shows by giving points based on each show’s rank in different countries. So, while it might not seem like Arcane has a big lead, only Netflix really knows how far ahead it is in terms of total viewers.
For now, we can look at how many countries Arcane is leading in. Right now, it’s ranked #1 in 64 countries. The next closest show, Outer Banks, is the top show in just 8 countries.
Keep in mind that this isn’t the whole season of Arcane yet—it’s being released in three parts. The show will likely get even more viewers as new episodes are released, with the final episode coming out on November 23.
While Arcane’s success is huge, it also had to be. The show is now the most expensive animated series ever made, with a budget over $250 million. If it wasn’t at the top, it would be tough to make back that money.
To celebrate the show’s success, all of Riot’s games are getting special Arcane-themed items for players to enjoy during the second and final season.
