According to streaming data from analytics firm FlixPatrol, two cancelled Netflix spy thrillers – The Night Agent and The Recruit – have surged into the top 10 most-watched shows on MGM+ in recent days. Meanwhile, the long-stalled CIA drama Condor, which originally aired on Audience and later Epix, has also seen a spike in viewership on the platform. The data suggests that audience appetite for these covert-world series remains strong even after their original networks moved on.
The Night Agent and The Recruit Lead MGM+ Viewer Surge
As FlixPatrol reported, both Netflix originals – which were cancelled after their first seasons – now rank among MGM+'s top 10 most-watched shows. The Night Agent, starring Gabriel Basso as FBI agent Peter Sutherland, and The Recruit, featuring Noah Centineo as CIA lawyer Owen Hendricks, both follow low-level operatives caught in conspiracies. the data indicates a cross-platform migration: viewers who missed the shows on Netflix are now streaming them on MGM+.
Condor's Winding Path from Audience to Epix to Amazon
Condor,which stars Max Irons as CIA analyst Joe Turner, aired for two seasons on Audience before moving to Epix. According to the FlixPatrol data, it too has gained renewed interest in recent days on MGM+. However, the show remains stuck in development hell because its original streaming service was acquired by Amazon, leaving its future uncertain. The resurgence suggests a latent demand for the series, yet no revival has been formally announced.
FlixPatrol Data Exposes Cross-Platform Streaming Trends
The data from FlixPatrol highlights a broader pattern: cancelled shows often find second audiences on rival platforms thanks to licensing deals. MGM+, which is owned by Amazon, now carries both Netflix castoffs and the orphaned Condor. This trend parallels earlier examples like Lucifer and Manifest, which were revived after strong streaming performance elsewhere.. However, the source does not clarify whether these spikes are driven by new viewers or loyal fans rewatching.
What Remains Unanswered About Condor's Revival Prospects
Two key questions emerge from the report. First, who currently holds the rights to Condor? The show's move from Epix to MGM+ complicates potential renewals. Second, will Netflix pursue reversals for The Night Agent or The Recruit? The data shows popularity on MGM+ but Netflix itself has not commented on revivals . The source does not include any statements from Netflix, MGM+, or the show creators,leaving these questions unresolved.
