The first season of Netflix's The Witcher adaptation arrived on the streaming service in 2018 and broke multiple records, becoming the most-watched series debut in the streamer's history. The second season of the acclaimed fantasy series arrived on Netflix last month, and it has been following in its predecessor's ultra-successful footsteps. While not quite as big as the debut season, The Witcher's sophomore outing has become one of Netflix's most-watched TV seasons ever.

According to the new numbers from Netflix, subscribers around the globe viewed The Witcher Season 2 for a total of 462.5 million hours in its first 28 days on the service. As far as English language shows go, that's the seventh-biggest debut for an original season ever on Netflix. The debut season of Bridgerton is at the top of the list, followed by Stranger Things: Season 3, The Witcher: Season 1, 13 Reasons Why: Season 2, 13 Reasons Why: Season 1, Maid (Limited Series), and You: Season 3.

The Witcher has established itself as one of the biggest hits in Netflix history, and only looks to continue that massive success with its next installment. Season 3 has already been ordered by the streaming service, but there is even more Witcher content coming before that.

Netflix revealed the trailer for The Witcher: Blood Origin at the end of The Witcher Season 2, unveiling the first look at the long-awaited prequel series to the franchise. Blood Origin, which should arrive sometime this year, tells the story of the first Witcher ever created.
