Netflix’s ‘The Witcher’ is still the biggest series in the world even as it loses steam in the US, and it shows how crucial sci-fi and fantasy are for streaming TV

16 February, 2020

While US audiences might be losing some interest in Netflix’s hit fantasy series, “The Witcher,” it’s still the biggest show worldwide.

Data firm Parrot Analytics told Business Insider that the show, based on the Polish novels by Andrzej Sapkowski, is still the most in-demand TV series globally across all platforms over the last 30 days (January 14 to February 12). It has held that top spot since it dethroned Disney Plus’ “The Mandalorian” seven weeks ago.
