New data has revealed just how much demand there has been for Star Wars shows on Disney+. Plus, we find out demographics of who is watching the various shows.
The Mandalorian and Grogu made the lightspeed jump from streaming to theatres last week. Now a new report has given us a look at which of the series created for Disney+ had fans most eager to watch when they came out.Â
Most in-demand Star Wars and Marvel Series Premieres On Disney+
Parrot Analytics via The Wrap have revealed the top 10 all-time most in-demand Star Wars show premieres in the US are as follows:
- The Mandalorian, Season 1 – 98.0x
- Daredevil: Born Again, Season 1 – 72.4x
- The Mandalorian, Season 2 – 70.1x
- The Mandalorian, Season 3 – 68.7x
- The Acolyte, Season 1 – 68.4x
- Andor, Season 2 – 64.0x
- Loki, Season 2 – 60.2x
- Daredevil: Born Again, Season 2 – 51.3x
- Ahsoka, Season 1 – 48.3x
- Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Season 7 – 47.9x
According to Parrot Analytics, their methodology is the USA demand for each series and averaged in the 30 days from each season premiere and expressed as a multiple of the average serles demand in that time period. This means demand for The Mandalorian Season 1 was nearly 100 times greater than the average series.
For some fans, it will be surprising to see The Acolyte only behind three seasons of The Mandalorian and ahead of Andor Season 2, Ahsoka and the final season of Star Wars The Clone Wars.
Based on this data, we can see the sheer level of excitement for The Mandalorian Season 1 despite it coming out at a time when Disney+ wasn’t available in every region it is now. Season 2 and 3 were almost equal on their premiere but dropped off from the first season.
Star Wars Disney+ Demographics
In terms of demographics, Star Wars viewers are typically older and male compared to say Marvel. However, The Mandalorian was a big change in that. Parrot Analytics has it slap bang in the middle of a male and female average audience share and age range. It’s very close to the Marvel series average.
In comparison, Andor was around a 10% shift towards males and a similar percentage in age. This was more in line with the average Star Wars movie watcher demographic of 70% male. Solo: A Star Wars Story had a 80% male audience in comparison.
