\n\tWho watches \u201cThe Watcher<\/a>?\u201d Netflix<\/a> has announced that Season 2 of the mystery horror series is set to begin production this fall in New York. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition, Season 1 stars Naomi Watts, Bobby Cannavale, Margo Martindale, and Isabel Gravitt will all return and reprise their respective roles. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe news comes roughly four years after the first season of the series aired back in October 2022. Originally conceived as a limited series, it was renewed for a second season<\/a> at Netflix in November of that year along with fellow Ryan Murphy-Ian Brennan show \u201cMonster.\u201d The fourth season of \u201cMonster,\u201d which focused on Lizzie Borden, recently launched.<\/p>\n

\n\tMurphy and Brennan created \u201cThe Watcher,\u201d with both serving as executive producers. Brennan serves as showrunner. Crystle Roberson Dorsey directs and executive produces, with Nissa Diederich, Karl Frankenfield, Scott Robertson, Todd Kubrak, Tanase Popa, Watts, Henry Joost & Ariel Schulman, Eric Newman & Bryan Unkeless also executive producing. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe Watcher,\u201d which is loosely based on a true story of a family that buys a new home only to start receiving mysterious letters from someone calling themselves The Watcher, proved to be a hit when it premiered. The series tallied an impressive 125 million hours viewed<\/a> in its first week on the streamer, moving up to 148 million hours<\/a> in its second week. It ultimately spent five weeks on the Netflix global top 10 English language TV chart. <\/p>\n

\n\tIf the show can repeat that performance in a long-delayed second season remains to be seen, particularly given recent reports on Netflix shows losing significant viewership between their first and second seasons. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Who watches \u201cThe Watcher?\u201d Netflix has announced that Season 2 of the mystery horror series is set to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":913794,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[64,63,134,435,481539,427],"class_list":["post-913793","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-netflix","tag-the-watcher","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/913793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=913793"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/913793\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/913794"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=913793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=913793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=913793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
