Six years after its 2019 debut,Seeis experiencing a resurgence on Apple TV+, and the bump is likely fueled byJason Momoa’s latest project,Chief of War,which is also currently trending on the same platform.
See, the post-apocalyptic epic, whichpremiered alongside the launch of Apple’s streaming servicein November 2019,has climbed back intoApple TV+’s Top 10 charts in over 45 countries this week.The Philippines, Thailand, Trinidad & Tobago, and more are seeing the series consistently hold high spots, while markets including Qatar, Brazil, and South Africa show steady multi-day placements, signaling a global rewatch trend rather than a short-lived spike. The trend, however,is limited to Apple TV+ for now— although the show is available to watch on Prime Video as well.
The series is set in a world where a virus has erased human sight. It originally gained acclaim for itsambitious world-buildingandMomoa’s portrayal of Baba Voss,a fierce tribal leader protecting his children, who are born with the forbidden gift of vision.

How ‘Chief of War,’ Which Is Currently Airing, Compares to ‘See’
WhileSeethrived on a high-conceptsci-fi premise set in a distant, sightless future,Chief of Wargrounds itself inhistorical drama. The latter chronicles the unification of the Hawaiian Islands in the late 18th century. Both shows leverage Jason Momoa’s commanding screen presence,but their storylines have nothing to do with each other, and their narrative engines differ sharply.
Visually and tonally, however, both shows deliver the kind of spectacle that keeps viewers coming back for more. Plus,sinceChief of Waris still rolling out new episodes, and only three are out at the time of writing, each episode ending has kept viewers on their toes and left them wanting more, and that’sexactly why many are turning toSeeto fill the gap between releases.
Apple TV+drops a new episode ofChief of Warevery Thursday. All three seasons ofSeeare currently available to stream on the same platform.
