- Are you tired of Tiger King yet? That’s the massively successful and buzzy Netflix series which garnered a huge viewership in the weeks following its launch — some 64 million households, to be exact, Netflix announced on Tuesday.
- But even though the docu-series has proven to be a ubiquitous pop culture phenomenon, the streamer is now predicting that another hot Netflix original (the Spanish-language drama Money Heist, about a group of criminals who get together to pull off an epic heist, is about to eclipse Tiger King’s viewership in a matter of days.)

I was waiting for this to happen. Tiger King and all its inherent insanity wasn’t going to stay the most-watched TV show on Netflix forever, as much as Joe Exotic might have hoped all of us wouldn’t get tired of his unhinged escapades and his near-blood feud with Carole Baskin.
In its new quarterly letter to shareholders distributed on Tuesday, Netflix offered a rundown of how much its business (no surprise) has soared thanks to all of us being stuck at home right now because of the coronavirus, such that Netflix added a whopping 15.77 new customers in the first quarter of this year. Those are among the new customers who helped make Tiger King the hit that it was. Meanwhile, the streaming giant also offered some viewership data for some of its newest hit series — like Tiger King, which Netflix said 64 million households watched in the first four weeks it was available on the service. For most of that time, the series has been one of Netflix’s hottest, most-watched shows. However, by the end of this month, there’s another Netflix original — a Spanish-language drama about a group of criminals who get together to pull off an epic heist — that’s projected to reach an even bigger viewership than Tiger King.
