Spies were on the rise this week, with The Night Agent debuting at No. 1 on the Top 10 English-language TV list (13.9 million views). Season 2 of the Gabriel Basso-starring action series hit the Top 10 in 90 countries, with audiences also continuing to catch up on Season 1 (No. 4, 4.9 million views).
Peter Sutherland wasn’t the only secret agent racking up views: Matt and Emily Reynolds (Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz) of Back in Action continued their reign on the English-language film list, hitting No. 1 (46.8 million views) for the second week in a row, and Franck (Guillaume Canet) landed with France’s Ad Vitam at No. 1 on the non-English language films list (8.4 million views) for a third week. Audiences also caught up with Owen Hendricks (Noah Centineo) and The Recruit Season 1 (No. 10 on the English TV list, 1.7 million views) before Season 2 launches on Jan. 30.
