    Sirens Makes a Splash with No. 1 Debut

    Plus, Fear Street: Prom Queen claims its crown.

Sirens hit our shores ahead of Memorial Day weekend, and viewers answered its seductive, well-dressed call.

The limited series starring Julianne Moore, Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock, and Kevin Bacon debuted in the No. 1 spot in English TV this week, claiming 16.7 million views in just four days and arriving in the Top 10 in all countries. “Addictive, delicious, all-encompassing,” Sirens — set amid lavish mansions and seaside locales — proved to be the perfect cocktail to toast the unofficial start of summer.

That wasn’t the only party to RSVP to, though. Horror fans got all dressed up to return to Shadyside for Fear Street: Prom Queen, which slashed its way to No. 1 in English films with 10.7 million views over just three days. This is the first standalone movie in the Fear Street series, coming after the 2021 trilogy, 1994, 1978, and 1666

Nonnas, the heartfelt drama set in an Italian restaurant, continued to feast in its third week, holding on to the No. 3 spot in English films, with another 8.4 million views.

In non-English TV, audiences continued to eavesdrop on the limited series Secrets We Keep, which secured the No. 1 spot for the second week in a row and grew to 12.7 million views, up from 10.3 million last week. In this Danish mystery, a woman in a wealthy Copenhagen suburb becomes suspicious of her neighbors after their beloved au pair disappears. 

Another disappearance is front and center in the No. 1 non-English film of the week, Exterritorial. When the son of a former Special Forces soldier goes missing in the US Consulate in Germany, she faces her toughest battle yet to save him — and, in the process, uncovers a dangerous conspiracy. The film is spending its fourth week atop the chart with 5.4 million views. Arriving at No. 3 and No. 5 on the list (with a bullet!) are Last Bullet (2.8 million views; third week in the Top 10), a conclusion to the supercharged French cop thriller trilogy, and Japan’s Bullet Train Explosion (1.6 million views; fifth week in the Top 10), a sequel 50 years in the making.

The week wasn’t all about drama, though. Tyler Perry’s She the People, starring Terri J. Vaughn as a politician whose job is a heck of a lot more difficult than she anticipated, debuted at No. 8 with 2.7 million views. The sitcom, Perry’s first for Netflix, is being praised for its “strong original premise.”  Meanwhile, The Four Seasons drew an additional 3.2 million views in its fourth week and FOREVER also wooed another 3.2 million in its third.
