The only non-Netflix titles in the top 10 were Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale, the second season of which was distributed on HBO España after the first aired on Antena 3, taking number six slot with two million demand expressions, and Hulu’s Castle Rock, which airs on Telefónica’s Movistar+ in Spain and which took number seven slot with 1.97 million.
