Magnates of Crime viewership drops 45% in second season

The Netflix series ‘Magnates of Crime’ has seen a significant shift in performance and narrative direction. Data indicates that the second season experienced a 45% drop in viewership compared to the first season. During its first four days of availability, the new season garnered 6.7 million views, totaling 49.8 million hours watched. This decline follows a broader trend on the platform where several series have struggled to maintain audience levels between their first and second seasons.

Despite the lower viewership numbers, Netflix has already confirmed a third season. The upcoming installment is expected to follow protagonist Eddie Horniman as he navigates increasing financial debts and threats from powerful enemies. The narrative is set to explore the consequences of his involvement in the criminal underworld and the volatile influence of Freddy Horniman, following the dramatic events of the previous season.
