Daniel Monaghan, senior VP, content and programming, Paramount and New Zealand, said in a statement that The Last King of the Cross was the most watched local show on Paramount+.
The first 10-part season starred heartthrob Lincoln Younes as the Kings Cross identity and focused on his relationship with his brother Sam (played by Claude Jabbour).
Both men were prominent figures in Sydney’s nightclub district and the series explored key events in their lives, including John’s near fatal stabbing and other attempts on his life.
Younes, who was recently nominated for a Gold Logie, scored the role after an exhaustive search spanning almost two years.
