‘If Wishes Could Kill’ Reaches No. 1 on Netflix’s Global Non‑English TV Chart

Strong week-two traction puts the series in the mix for a renewal decision based on early performance.

Overview

  • The series logged 7.5 million views and 44 million hours for the Apr. 27–May 3 tracking week, taking the global No. 1 spot among non-English shows, according to Netflix’s Tudum.
  • Netflix counts a “view” by dividing total watch time by a title’s runtime, which is the metric used to rank weekly Top 10 lists.
  • After its Apr. 24 premiere, the show reached No. 4 within three days before climbing to No. 1 in its second week on the non-English TV chart.
  • Netflix has not announced a renewal, and the creative team previously said they are weighing a serialized continuation against an anthology approach as performance data comes in.
  • The Korea Herald notes the same week’s chart placed SBS’s Sold Out on You at No. 3 with 3.7 million views and Bloodhounds Season 2 at No. 9 with 1.5 million.
