The streaming service revealed that 44 million households viewed We Can Be Heroes in its first 28 days on Netflix. According to the outlet, Netflix’s holiday viewership numbers revealed that Christmas week in 2020 was the streamer’s biggest on record.
In We Can Be Heroes, when alien invaders kidnap Earth’s superheroes, their kids are whisked away to a government safe house. But whip-smart tween Missy Moreno (Yaya Gosselin) will stop at nothing to rescue her superhero dad, Marcus Moreno (Pedro Pascal). Missy teams up with the rest of the superkids to escape their mysterious government babysitter, Ms. Granada (Priyanka Chopra Jonas). If they’re going to save their parents, they’ll have to work together by using their individual powers — from elasticity to time control to predicting the future — and form an out-of-this-world team.
