Skyscraper Live falls short of topping Netflix charts
Alex Honnold’s climb of one of the world’s tallest buildings drew significant attention on Netflix, but the live special fell short of topping the streamer’s weekly charts.
Skyscraper Live, which aired on Jan. 24 after a one-day delay due to weather, recorded 6.2 million views globally over Saturday and Sunday. That placed it third among English-language shows for the week of Jan. 19-25. The 116-minute special, which followed Honnold scaling the facade of Taipei 101 in Taiwan, accumulated 12 million hours of viewing, a metric calculated by dividing total viewing hours by run time. The shift from Friday to Saturday may have reduced its total views, as it had less time to accumulate numbers and Saturday is generally a lighter night for TV audiences.
Netflix has increasingly explored live programming, but Skyscraper Live represents its first foray into this type of extreme, made-for-TV spectacle. While it lagged behind the platform’s NFL broadcasts, it more than doubled the viewership of the Jan. 19 episode of WWE Raw, which drew 2.5 million viewers.
On the series side, His & Hers, starring Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal, remained the top English-language show for a third consecutive week with 17.2 million views, followed by Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials with 8.7 million. Overall, the platform’s most-watched title was the heist film The Rip, starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, which drew 40.4 million views worldwide, only slightly below its premiere week total of 41.6 million.
