When Riot Games released Act 1 (episodes 1-3) of its League of Legends animated series Arcane on Netflix last week, the show was showered with praises from both fans and critics. Act 2 (episodes 4-6) of the series have reached even greater heights than the first three episodes. While Act 1 of the show reached No. 1 on the global Netflix TV charts with 38 No. 1 rankings in individual countries, Act 2 has shown more momentum.
According to Flixpatrol, Arcane retakes the #1 spot on the Netflix Top 10 worldwide. Riot's animated series surpassed major streaming shows like Squid Game (#2), Narcos: Mexico (#3), You (#4), and Animal (#5).
After Arcane premiered its first three episodes, the series debuted at No. 1 at the charts for 38 different countries, which made it good enough to rank the animated series at No. 1 on the global chart, but Act 2 raises the bar, taking the show to the top of the charts in 52 different countries:
