Eight years after its debut and four years after being cancelled, Absentia is a global streaming hit on Netflix. The series followed Emily Byrne (Stana Katic), an FBI agent who disappears and is presumed dead while hunting a serial killer. However, six years later, she is found alive, without any memories of what happened, before her life is once again upended.

Now, Absentia is in the ninth spot on Netflix's global streaming charts. It has spent three consecutive weeks in the Top 10. During this time, Absentia has been viewed for 33.1 million hours, with an additional 4.5 million in the past week.
