Are you watching The Crown? This week, The Wrap revealed the opening weekend ratings for the new Netflix series.
From Peter Morgan, the historical drama chronicles the early years of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. The cast includes Claire Foy, Matt Smith, Jared Harris, Vanessa Kirby, and John Lithgow.
Netflix is notorious for keeping its ratings information under wraps. However, according to Symphony Advanced Media, the debut numbers for The Crown were fairly low. The original series reportedly brought in only 496,000 viewers over its opening weekend, placing it below season five of Longmire but higher than season two of Bloodline in terms of ratings.
Nevertheless, Netflix has already ordered a second season of the UK drama.
What do you think? Have you seen The Crown? Will you continue to watch it?
Great series, great acting. Provides a great insight into the Royals and the difficulties the young Queen had to face. Looking forward to season 2.
A wonderful series
Riveting! I have been recommending it to everyone who has Netflix and telling other to get Netflix in order to watch The Crown. This is quality television. Please do not drop.
Yes it’s both entertaining and educational. If it’s factual it must be very lonely to be the queen.
Amazing! One of the most fantastic productions I have ever watched and would highly recommend to anyone intending to view. Superb acting, stunning filming and learning historical facts in each episode. Thank you so much Netflix and now eagerly awaiting season 2
I have watched several episodes on Netflix o my computer as I still don’t own a TV. I absolutely adore it! Ms For is gorgeous and perfect in the role. A good script, some apparently on location shots (maybe I was fooled but price tag shows it was not a cheap production) and interestinng behind the scenes of famous people whose names we all recognize from the news and history class – just a really good piece of fictional but factual entertainment. I plan to finish watching it all.
factual spot on !
I love this series the actors, the costumes.very well written. Bravo!!!!
Great escapism from US presidential election. Hope the second season arrives soon!
Let me see if I get this right… They have ordered another season, and there are plans for 4 more after that. Yet they are cancelling Longmire after next year, and Bloodline too. I’ll never understand TV.
I don’t care how many people watched it when it first dropped…during election. I care more about how many people are watching it now that things have settled down. I think it is great and have already finished the first 10 episodes. The writing, acting, and costumes are top notch. Hopefully it will go aldl the way.
I loved the crown. I can’t wait till season 2. I believe it will catch on.
Absolutely wonderful watched the entire series in two days
Can wait for season 2
I love it can wait for season 2. It was so good that I watch it twice
I love the new series “The Crown” the facts seem pretty accurate and I feel personalities are being portrayed in a true light. Looking forward to part 2 and any/all seasons that follow!!
