"Ozark" came back for the first half of its final season on Friday, and quickly became Netflix's most popular English-language series of the week.
The first seven episodes of the fourth season were watched for 77.01 million hours globally from Friday through Sunday, according to Netflix.
Every Tuesday, Netflix updates its most popular movies and TV shows based on hours watched during the previous week. It separates its rankings between English and non-English series.
The first season of "Ozark" also got a boost, with 24.48 million hours viewed last week.
While "Ozark" topped Netflix's English-language ranking, the Colombian series "Café con Aroma de Mujer" was the real victor, with 96.36 million viewing hours last week.
The first-weekend viewership for "Ozark" season four was also a far cry from the debut weekends of other recent hits like "The Witcher" and "Cobra Kai."
The second season of "The Witcher" debuted in December with 142.43 million viewing hours globally during its premiere weekend. It's Netflix's fifth biggest season ever, with 484.34 million viewing hours in its first 28 days.
"Cobra Kai" season four also debuted last month, with 120.06 million hours in its first weekend.
"Ozark" has never been a viewership juggernaut for Netflix in the same way as some of its other hits. But it's been received favorably by critics and at the Emmys, where its second and third seasons where nominated for best drama series.
Season four currently has a 92% Rotten Tomatoes critic score. Season three was its best-reviewed season yet, with a 98% critic score.
CNN's Brian Lowry wrote that the show "begins its fourth and final arc with a nail-biting sense of purpose."
