Part 5/8:
Despite Netflix’s initial hopes and claims of the series potentially reaching the top spot globally, Queen Cleopatra failed to sustain viewer interest. The series debuted at number 7 in Netflix’s Top 10, but it was evident from the start that it lacked staying power. Unlike other hits like Bridgerton or The Night Agent, which linger for multiple weeks, Queen Cleopatra dropped out of the top 10 after just a week.
In fact, its performance was worse than previous Netflix flops like Blood Origin, which had a brief spike at number one before collapsing. The new lows for Queen Cleopatra were stark: it only had four days on the charts, failed to maintain viewer engagement, and all signs point to it vaporizing from the platform’s trending lists soon.
