One Piece held onto its top spot in Netflix's global audience rankings last week with 75.5 million streaming hours and 20 million total views, barely over half of what the series boasted the previous week.
Season 1 of the manga series adaptation, which was renewed for a second season last week, saw its audience nearly halved from the prior week.
In fact, though the eight-part series momentarily pulled Netflix’s views up enough to get them out of their summer slump, the numbers are right back down. Compared to the same window of time last year, total viewing for Netflix's top 10 English-language TV series for the week of September 11-17 was down by more than 21% when compared to the same week last year.
