Supacell has been dominating the Netflix top 10 chart for the past three weeks, proving once again that the streaming giant knows how to hook viewers from all corners of the globe. The show, which debuted in June, has already amassed an impressive 25 million views. Set and filmed in the bustling city of London, this new sci-fi series follows a group of seemingly ordinary black individuals who suddenly discover they possess extraordinary superpowers. Created by the talented Rapman, who was also behind the 2019 hit film Blue Story, Supacell features a stellar cast including Tosin Cole, known for his role as a companion in Doctor Who, and Adelayo Adedayo from The Responder.
It's no surprise that Supacell has quickly become a fan favorite, with the show landing in Netflix's top 10 chart within days of its release on June 27th. In its first three days alone, it racked up an impressive 6.4 million views and has now surpassed 25 million plays in just three weeks on the platform. And if that wasn't enough to convince you to give it a watch, Supacell has also earned a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Critics and subscribers alike have been showering Supacell with praise. Michael Idato of The Sydney Morning Herald commended its "stunning cinematography" and "richly textured direction," while Ben Gibbons of Screen Rant declared it "a spectacular new superhero series that stands out even in an overly saturated genre." It's safe to say that fans are eagerly awaiting a second season, and star Tosin Cole has revealed that the cast and crew are also hopeful for a follow-up. In an interview, he shared, "We're talking it into existence. We've done all the set-up so we can just dive straight in."
Meanwhile, Cole's co-star Calvin Demba hinted at even more exciting stories to come, stating, "The way it leaves off, there's definitely more to these stories." And with the massive success of season one, there's no doubt that a second installment of Supacell would be a hit.
In fact, the show has been watched so many times that it even knocked the highly popular period drama Bridgerton off the top spot of Netflix's most-watched list. Bridgerton, which has remained in the top 10 for an impressive nine weeks, now sits below two newer entries: the documentary The Man with 1000 Kids, which delves into the story of a Dutch sperm donor with over 500 children, and the third season of Vikings: Valhalla, a gripping series featuring characters inspired by Norse mythology as they fight for power and legacy. Both shows achieved 5.4 million views each between July 8-14, leaving us wondering if they will catch up to Supacell in next week's rankings.
