Overview
- Opening‑week Netflix Top 10 data published July 28–29 show Season 2 drew 25.5 million viewing hours, about 4.1 million views, which is roughly 43% fewer views and about 54% fewer hours than Season 1's launch.
- Third‑party FlixPatrol daily reach points corroborate a softer launch with lower early totals for Season 2 versus Season 1 (for example Day 1: 222 points versus 358; Day 4: 413 versus 566).
- The series is performing strongly in English‑speaking countries and the Nordics but is underperforming across much of Latin America and major Asian markets, which is dragging down global averages.
- Netflix executives have framed second‑season drops as common industry behavior and say year‑to‑year falloff has modestly improved, so the company is likely to weigh multiweek and regional trends before deciding on renewal.
- The pattern fits a broader streaming trend of large sophomore declines for several recent shows, so the near‑term consequence will depend on whether Ransom Canyon regains viewers in coming weeks or maintains localized strength.
