This viewership is only slightly lower than the series' inaugural season, which garnered 10.3 million views during its opening week last year.
This exciting second season continues to explore the evolving relationship between Brody's character, Noah, and Bell's character, Joanne, as they navigate the complexities of being in a committed relationship.

Notable guest appearances in this season include Brody's off-screen wife, Leighton Meester, along with talents like Seth Rogen and Kate Berlant, adding to the show's star-studded cast. The launch of Season 2 has not only drawn in new viewers but has also boosted interest in Season 1, which climbed to number nine on the charts, racking up 2 million views over the past week.
In the broader landscape of Netflix's trending shows, The Diplomat has secured the second spot, with its third season attracting 6.3 million views in its second week.
