‘Moria’ mania rolls on as Casán series tops Netflix Argentina for a third straight week

Three weeks after its August 14 premiere, the biopic about Moria Casán remains at the top of Netflix’s rankings in Argentina and Paraguay. The series has settled into a plateau after its initial surge, but it still ranks among the platform’s major successes.

Between August 14 and September 1, the series recorded 2.2 million views and 10.9 million hours watched. It spent two weeks in Netflix’s global top 10 for non-English-language series before leaving that list. The platform now reports positions for the title in individual markets.

In Argentina and Paraguay, “Moria” remains in first place. It ranks second in Uruguay, seventh in Bolivia and eighth in Chile. It previously reached sixth place in Peru, ninth in Ecuador and the global top 10 in Spain, but has since dropped out of those local top-10 lists.

The series arrived two days before Casán’s 80th birthday, followed by a public holiday in Argentina, a release window that helped the eight episodes draw viewers immediately. Sofía Gala Castiglione, Casán’s daughter, plays her in the first three episodes. Griselda Siciliani takes over from the third episode’s closing moments through the sixth, and Cecilia Roth portrays her in the final two.

Casán appears in the production herself, narrates it in voice-over and serves as executive producer. Javier Van de Couter directed the series. Its success has also fueled discussion in Argentina about how biographical dramas portray famous people, their personal and professional lives, and the people around them.
