Netflix Top 10: ‘Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse’ Charts at No. 6 as ‘The Witcher’ Returns to No. 1
The Barbie craze has made its way over to Netflix as “Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse” Season 1 cracks the Netflix Top 10 at No. 6 with 1.9 million total views. Despite being originally released in 2012, the series seems to be experiencing some momentum following the release of Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” film, which premiered in theaters on July 21.
Also on the chart during the July 24-30 viewing window, “The Witcher” fought its way back to No. 1 following the release of Season 3, Volume 2 which arrived on July 27. In its first four days of availability, the season amassed 7.8 million total views. To date, Season 3 has recorded 47.7 million views since premiering on June 29.
