This is what we know.Arriving on June 3, 2022 new series from V.E. Schwab saw Juliette and Calliope falling in love on the screen because of the disappointment and surprise of everyone around them.

It should be noted that this event has gathered big followers and vocals on social media.
Variety’s Caroline Framke may be the hardest in the series that says:”For all the first jobs, Kill enters to ensure it touches all the right notes, this series feels more like an extraordinary valley version than what is tried than a useful story.”
Has Netflix renewed First Kill for a season 2?
In terms of our predictions, we think it is still too early to call the future of the show. We will wait to see its performance in weeks 2 and 3 to assess whether the show will be updated. Usually, if we look at a decline of more than 50% when it comes to viewers, the possibility of this show does not have a chance. We will discuss performance performance in the next section.
In the end, the update will depend on the performance for the series and in particular, how good the performance is in weeks 2 and 3.If this series is not updated, many event fans already have the answer why by bringing a lot to social media to complain about marketing for this series.
How well is First Kill performing on Netflix?
In the first three days on Netflix globally, the event took 30.34 million hours to place it number 7 for that week. It was against fierce competition in the first week also with a survival summer and of course, strange things dominated the headlines and viewers.In week 2, this event scored 48.77 million hours seen which represented a 61% increase in viewers.

June 12th, 2022 to June 19th, 2022 | 48,770,000 (+61%) | 3 | 2 |
We can compare the debut of the first three days of the first kill with other events to see how it piled up. If we compare with the Heartstopper (which is dropped with an episode with a lower Runtime, it needs to be noted) which shows only managing 14.55 million display.
Another comparison is from The Cold, Sci-Fi/Fantasy-Esque performances with the same makeup. It reached 24.72m hours in the first 3 days of service. The show was still not updated for season 2 but it should be noted that it did see a 64% decrease in a large audience from week 2 to 3.

We have compared shows with several other debut shows in 2022 including from Cold, Heartstopper and Viking: Valhalla.As you can see, this event has made a simple start and has exceeded cold but is likely to come under Viking: Valhalla’s request (updated to season 3) and far from Heartstopper (which was updated for two additional seasons).
