Hey folks! Are you ready for some exciting Netflix news? Brace yourselves, as the shark thriller “Under Paris”, has taken a distinct leap in the streaming world and is very close to becoming the top-viewed non-English movie on Netflix!
Debuting the Streaming Charts
Since it hit the small screen in June, “Under Paris” has been steadily climbing up the ladder on Netflix's popularity chart. This shark thriller is no small fish in the massive ocean of online content. It's currently sitting pretty in third place on Netflix's most popular non-English film list and has amassed 96.6 million views. That's pretty rad, don't you think?
Just ahead of “Under Paris” are “Society of the Snow” and “Troll” which have 98.5 million and 103 million views respectively. But don't lose heart, fans of “Under Paris”, because the movie still has about a month left in its 91-day premiere window. This means there's still plenty of time for it to grab that leading position and become the most-watched non-English movie on Netflix.
Decoding “Under Paris”
Now let's talk a bit about what “Under Paris” is all about. It's a thrilling story filled with danger, suspense, and, you guessed it, sharks! The film features a dangerous shark named Lilith that claims the lives of Sophia's research colleagues, leading her to abandon her research on climate-related shark mutations. Five years later, an environmental activist named Mika discovers Lilith lurking in the Seine, just as Paris prepares to host the World Triathlon Championships. The rest, as they say, is a rollercoaster ride of suspense, action, and attempting to prevent a bloody disaster.
A Distant Sequel On the Horizon?
And the excitement doesn't end there! If you enjoyed “Under Paris” and wonder if there could be more excitement to come, we have some good news. Director Xavier Gens mentioned back in June that there might be a sequel in the works if the movie keeps doing well. He added that if the sequel does happen, it will unfold in a Paris completely submerged underwater – intriguing right?
