That is an interesting observation. I’ve a theory on that one. The Queen only died a couple of months ago and The Crown did appear in the charts and the daily top ten lists in many countries for weeks afterwards. It is possible folks already caught up with The Crown then so do not need the refresher before jumping into s5.

Warrior Nun s1 has got numbers almost as good as s2 which is interesting. We will see if that helps its week 3&4 legs. I think it does not really matter. Warrior Nun has done less than 10 million in its opening two weeks in the chart. It is probably trending for a 16 million 4 week run. Fate: the Winx Saga got axed with 25 million. That does not bode well for Warrior Nun!

Manifest was only ordered as a final 20 episode season by Netflix. Which makes sense now we see the numbers. Netflix are just splitting the final season into two parts. The second part of the 4th season will no doubt arrive early in 2023.

That’s my theory as well. As for the disappointing week 2, I suppose S5 mixed reception might have resulted in a lower completion rate.

Hard to say if these numbers are disappointing or just typical for The Crown. We will get a better idea of the season drop via the Nielsen US numbers. They had numbers for The Crown s4 so we can compare them with what The Crown s5 does. It will not be totally fair though as Neilson does not breakdown the numbers by season like Netflix do meaning the lack of viewership of previous seasons might diminish the numbers compared to what s4 did on Nielsen.

There other thing worth noting about The Crown was that it got a Wednesday release rather than a Friday release which can hurt the week two numbers (we have seen that for Raising Dion, Locke & Key, and Umbrella Academy this year) but I was still expecting The Crown s5 to rise despite that. Guess I was wrong!
