It’s been an interesting week for HBO. Two big IPs, two new shows, each with a starkly different reception. New series of the network “last of us,” which premiered on January 15 and received critical acclaim (and the title of “Best video game adaptation of all time“), saw a 57% increase in demand and moved up to third place in the rankings this week with 36.1 times the demand for the average chain in the US.
Meanwhile “Velma,” the streaming original series based on the Scooby Doo franchise, managed to keep enough eyeballs to dominate viewers’ attention this week. That’s not to say that “The Last of Us” doesn’t have such a wide audience reach: As is the case with most shows that follow a weekly episodic release schedule, we’re likely to see an increase in demand for the series next year. As more episodes drop in a few weeks, viewers will start binge-watching the show.
This week in fourth and fifth place we see Paramount+’s Sheridan shows “tulsa king” And “1923,” respectively. The former had a 7% drop in demand and was 27 times the average series demand, while “1923” had a further 2% increase after its fourth episode aired on January 8, the same day. “Tulsa Kings” was the finale. Releasing episodes in tandem is working out well for the streamer, as it still attracts enough eyeballs to keep both shows in the top five, despite new releases arriving this week. .
