For data nerds, it’s like Christmas day, with the third bi-annual Netflix Engagement Report dropping today, revealing the watch hours and views for over 16,000 unique series and movies. What came out on top? Here are the key takeaways from the new Engagement Report and the top 10 movies and series of the first half of 2024 broken into English titles and non-English titles.
Per Netflix’s release, they shined a particular spotlight on the dominance of the United Kingdom’s output for the first half of the year (partially due to the Hollywood strikes of last year!) and how well some of its other international titles did. They also talk about how watch time is up, stating, “In the first half of 2024, people watched over 94 billion hours on Netflix — a reflection of how much our members love our stories and value our service.”
