The picture of Netflix It is going through a very delicate moment after its decision to destroy the shared accounts as we knew them until now. Also, his arguments to convince his clients not to leave are very flimsy, but they have a secret weapon lying around that will surely retain some subscribers.
An indisputable success
The title in question is ‘The Queen of the South’, a television adaptation of a novel by Arturo Perez-Reverte whose third season arrived just a few weeks ago on the platform. And I say it arrived because it was not really a premiere, since it is an original production of Telemundo which first hits that network and is then distributed worldwide via Netflix.
Starring Kate del CastilloAt the time, ‘La reina del sur’ became the most expensive telenovela ever produced by Telemundo and tells how a Mexican woman grows in the world of drug trafficking until she reaches levels of power she could never have imagined.
One of the most striking aspects of ‘La reina del sur’ is that its world premiere took place in 2011 but then we had to wait a whopping eight years until the release of the second. The times were reduced with the third, but not the number of episodes, since it has 60 chapters, something that surely has also had to do with its phenomenal endurance on Netflix.
And it is that ‘The queen of the south’ It has been among the most watched non-English-speaking series on Netflix for more than a month. In fact, in Spain it currently occupies the third position, also taking into account those spoken in English, and only because of the overwhelming premiere of season 4 of ‘You’, because previously there was no one to move it from second place.
Obviously, only with ‘La reina del sur’ few casualties will he avoid it, but it is still another example of Netflix’s commitment to soap operas from other companieswhich not so long ago also achieved great success with titles such as ‘Café con aroma de mujer’, which later failed in a big way when it was broadcast on Telecinco, or ‘La reina del flow’.
