The Witcher Season 4 Opens to 7.4 Million Views, Lowest Launch Yet on Netflix

The early tally trails past seasons, reflecting fallout from the recast after a long hiatus.

Overview

  • Netflix’s Oct. 27–Nov. 2 Top 10 lists show 7.4 million views for the new season’s first four days, placing it No. 2 in English-language TV behind Nobody Wants This Season 2 with 9.4 million.
  • Compared with earlier launches, Season 4’s opening is down roughly 50% versus Season 3’s 15.2 million and about 60% versus Season 2’s 18.5 million, based on Netflix’s views metric.
  • The Thursday premiere meant the published week captured four days of availability, a window that historically includes the show’s biggest early viewing.
  • U.S. analytics from Samba TV indicate 577,000 households watched the Season 4 premiere episode in its launch window, a decline of about 35% from the 885,000 who watched Season 3’s opener.
  • Seasons 4 and 5 were filmed back-to-back, reporting says Season 5 has wrapped production, and Netflix has positioned it as the series’ concluding chapter.
