Netflix has released its second engagement report, clocking viewership and watch time for the second half of 2023 — and it contains a bit more data than the streamer's first report.
Netflix released the first engagement report in December, tracking watch times for the first half of 2023. During that time period, the first season of "The Night Agent" amassed 812,100,000 hours watched, earning the top-viewed spot.
Netflix's second report breaks out two metrics that weren't a part of its first: runtime and views, which were calculated by dividing a title's hours watched by its runtime. The most-viewed series in this report was Netflix's live-action "One Piece" adaptation, proving that the streamer's bet on one of the biggest anime properties in the world has paid off.
We've ranked the top seasons from July through December 2023 by views — not by hours watched. However, we've included both metrics below.
