At the same time, Baby Reindeer, the drama miniseries that follows a fictionalized version of Richard Gadd earned the top spot on the television series in English chart. As the streaming platform and Snyder continue to map out the future of the franchise, it’s important to keep an eye on the sequel’s performance.

The sequel also appeared in the Top 10 chart in 92 countries, proving how the world was interested in finding out what happened next for Kora and her friends. The Scargiver beat out titles such as Woody the Woodpecker Goes to Camp and What Jennifer Did.
When it comes to the television side of Netflix, Baby Reindeer was ready to take the top spot, with the series created by Richard Gadd scoring 13.3 million views. The cast of the show also includes Jessica Gunning, Tom Goodman-Hill and Hugh Coles, as Gadd uses the project to share his experience with abuse with viewers. The haunting story about a struggling comedian attempting to get away from a stalker runs for seven episodes, all written by Gadd. The series earned more views over the weekend than titles such as The 3 Body Problem and The Gentlemen.
