Disney+’s ‘Tales of the Jedi’ Makes Rare Return to Most In-Demand New Shows List
Crisscrossing story lines with returning ”Star Wars: The Bad Batch“ sends viewers to watch the animated anthology series
In this weekly data series powered by Parrot Analytics we look at the top breakout shows of the past week. Breakout shows are the most in-demand series that have premiered in the past 100 days.
Interestingly, Disney+’s “Tales of the Jedi” had a 5% increase in demand that pushed it back up into the rankings with 13.7 times the average series demand last week,
The spike in demand for the series comes as a result of the interconnected universe and story lines between the show and “Star Wars: The Bad Batch,” which premiered its second season on Jan. 4.
Meanwhile, the Sheridan-verse’s “1923” seems to be doing wonders for Paramount+. The series rose up to third place with 24.5 times the average series demand in the U.S. this week, hot on the heels of another Sheridan show, “Tulsa King,” which took second place with 29.1 times the average series demand — a 7% spike in demand was observed after its penultimate episode debuted on Jan. 8.
As mentioned earlier, both shows have been big successes for Paramount+, and the latest spike in demand for “1923” could be linked back to the announcement that the show would be taking a break and returning again on Feb. 5, leaving fans with plenty of time to catch up with the recent episodes as they wait.
Netflix’s mega-hit series “Wednesday” seems to still be ruling audience attention as a 23% spike in demand was observed for the show this week. The increase in demand for the show came right after the platform announced that it would be renewing the show for another season. With good reason too, considering that this week it had 45.4 times more demand than the average series in the U.S. for the week.
Disney+’s “Willow” had a 17% increase in demand last week after its finale episode debuted on Jan. 11. The show has been streaming episodes since Nov. 30, so it’s likely that we may see audience demand spike for it once again next week as viewers begin catching up to all the episodes.
Netflix’s latest series, “Kaleidoscope,” made its first appearance in the rankings this week and took sixth place with 19.9 times the average series demand. The series has been the talk of the town lately, mainly due to its unique format that allows its episodes to be watched in any order.
