Netflix Streaming Show From Officially Turns Amazon Sci-Fi Thriller Into No. 1 Hit After Three Seasons
A second life on Netflix
Some series find a larger audience after another platform makes them available on Netflix, a pattern often called the “Netflix effect.” Breaking Bad and The Last Ship are cited as examples of shows that gained renewed attention through the service. From has now become a prominent beneficiary. The series reached No. 1 on Netflix after the platform added three seasons, while its newest season remains on MGM+.
A town full of mysteries
From premiered on Epix in 2022, before the platform changed its name to MGM+. The sci-fi horror story follows people trapped in a mysterious town and the mayor and sheriff trying to confront its secrets.
The series draws heavily on Stephen King’s work and has been compared with Lost and Widow’s Bay. Four seasons have aired so far, with the fourth recently concluded.
MGM+ looks to the future
Making only the first three seasons available on Netflix is intended to encourage viewers to turn to MGM+ for the fourth season. The strategy could also build awareness ahead of the show’s next chapter.
The series has been renewed for a fifth and final season. It has earned positive reviews, including a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score overall and a perfect 100% score for its third season.
