How many people watched Cassandra on Netflix?
Netflix reported 36 million views for Cassandra in its Q1 2025 shareholder letter. Netflix defines a view as hours viewed divided by runtime. Its methodology counts the first 91 days after each episode’s release; the letter marks figures based on less than 91 days of data with an asterisk and counts those from launch through April 13, 2025. The 36 million figure is a Netflix-reported measure for Q1 2025, not a current ranking or a count of unique people.
Is Cassandra based on a book?
No. Netflix Tudum describes it as an original screenplay, rather than an adaptation of a book.

The format makes it a contained commitment: six episodes, a domestic setting, and an AI premise framed as a thriller. It may suit viewers looking for psychological tension and science-fiction horror elements in a miniseries. The available official sources establish the premise and format, but do not establish a critical consensus or an objective quality ranking.
