From has climbed to number two among the most popular TV series on Netflix in the United States, with two of its seasons charting at once. The horror drama rose from fourth to second in the weekly rankings, according to What’s On Netflix, which credits the show’s limited licensing window on Netflix — covering the first three seasons — for paying off over Halloween.
The weekly chart, built on FlixPatrol points awarded for each title’s daily Top 10 position between October 25 and November 1, puts From on 58 points, up from fourth place the previous week. BeingKevin’s roundup of the same week lists From Season 1 at number four in the US daily-based ranking and From Season 3 at number ten — two seasons of the same show in the Top 10 at the same time.
A Halloween payoff
The timing is no accident. From is a horror series, and its arrival on Netflix in a limited licensing window landed just as viewers were looking for something frightening to watch over Halloween. What’s On Netflix notes that the show “climbed from #4 to #2 (58 points) as Netflix’s limited licensing window on the first three seasons pays off over Halloween” — a neat summary of how a licensed catalogue title can suddenly become one of the platform’s biggest shows.
The week’s US chart was led by Nobody Wants This, which went from ninth to first with 70 points, according to What’s On Netflix, while Love Is Blind held steady in the top three with 50 points. From’s second place puts it ahead of both the week’s biggest documentary, The One About Matthew Perry, which landed fourth with 48 points, and The Diplomat, which fell to fifth.
Two seasons, one surge
The double charting is the detail worth noting. Season 1 is the entry point for new viewers, and season 3 — the most recent — is the one they reach if they keep watching. Having both in the Top 10 at once suggests viewers are not sampling the show, they are working through it.
From is an MGM+ original, and its Netflix window is limited — the kind of licensing deal that gives a show a second life on a bigger platform. On this week’s evidence, that second life is a substantial one: a horror drama from a smaller streamer, sitting at number two in the United States, with two seasons in the Top 10.
