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?
So excited for season 2 to begin that I can barely contain myself. I don’t think there was enough publicity before season 1 began and many people did not even know about it.
Fabulous series. A great binge watch! Ready for season 2!
Simply marvelous to live through those years again. Wonderful and accurate portrayal of the Queen. Fabulous writing!
Happy to hear there will be more seasons. We watched season one, twice this week.
Love it! So happy there will be season 2.
A great series! So glad a second season has already been ordered. Will be waiting for it and, in the meantime, highly recommending it to all my family and friends.
Absolutely will watch season two and beyond. Best series in a while.
Love it and will continue watching all.
LOVED IT!
Love it, I am counting on all six seasons
I just found this show and love it. Please don’t cancel it.
Great show! More please. Fascinating if true: Margaret-Townsend situation & Philip as a pill.
Great show worth binge-ing! More, please. If accurate, the Margaret-Townsend story was far more tragic & revealing than I knew. Also interesting take on Philip.
Great show! Worth the weekend binge. More please.
Love love love the show!!!! It is really a great, thoughtful, interesting drama. I was not surprised that I liked it, but when my husband also liked it that’s when I knew it was really good!!!!
by far an amazing show . please make more !!!!!!!!!!!!!
