According to a survey by Nielsen, a company specialized in audience measurement, Him & Her recorded an average of 25.6 million viewers in the first 35 days of broadcast, making it the most watched series of 2026 so far in the United States.
The performance placed the production above giants of American TV and streaming, including series from the Yellowstone universe, HBO Max phenomena and already established successes from Netflix itself.
With this, the possibility of continuation began to be discussed by both fans and specialized press.
The Unexpected Success of Him & Her on Netflix
Although Netflix already bet on the potential of the series because of the popularity of the original book, few imagined that Him & Her would reach such impressive numbers in such a short time.
The series quickly went viral by combining psychological suspense, emotional drama and criminal investigation in a narrative full of plot twists. Furthermore, the dark and intimate atmosphere helped transform the production into a true binge-watching phenomenon.
Another important factor was international performance. The series entered the Top 10 in several countries and remained among the platform's most watched content for several consecutive weeks.
In Brazil, Him & Her also gained enormous repercussion among subscribers, especially among fans of psychological thrillers and stories with family mysteries.
On social media, many viewers praised:
• The script full of tension;
• The performances of Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal;
• The short and intense episodes;
• The surprising ending;
• The atmosphere similar to successes like You, Big Little Lies and Behind Her Eyes.
Will Him & Her Have a Continuation?
To date, Netflix has not yet officially confirmed a 2nd season of Him & Her.
This is because the production was initially conceived as a closed miniseries, fully adapting Alice Feeney's book. In other words, the main story had a beginning, middle and end within the six episodes released.
Even so, the enormous success of the production completely changed the scenario.
In recent years, Netflix has already transformed several miniseries into franchises after results exceeding expectations. Originally limited productions ended up gaining continuations thanks to high audience engagement.
This is exactly what happened with series such as:
• Big Little Lies;
• Beef;
• The Watcher;
• Bridgerton, which expanded its universe;
• Dahmer, transformed into an anthology.
For this reason, many experts believe that Him & Her could follow a similar path.
Does the Series Ending Leave Room for New Episodes?
Although the main plot has been concluded, the series finale leaves some questions open that could serve as a basis for a continuation.
Without going into heavy spoilers, the final stretch suggests that some characters still possess important secrets. Furthermore, the emotional complexity between Anna and Jack continues to be one of the strongest elements of the narrative.
This opens possibilities for a direct continuation or new crimes involving the protagonists.
