HBO has announced that its “The Batman” spin-off series “The Penguin” has been a hit for the premium cabler. The Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti-led series reportedly opened to 5.3 million U.
S. viewers across all platforms since its debut on September 19th. The number includes repeat airings on HBO as well as streaming viewership.
To put that in perspective with other series – its behind the 5.7 million viewers of “True Detective: Night Country” but ahead of the most recent season premieres of “Succession” (4.9 million) and “The White Lotus” (4.
1 million). Additionally, the show has reportedly landed the biggest four-day audience for a new series on Max in every region globally since the critically acclaimed PlayStation game-to-TV adaptation “The Last of Us” debuted in January 2023. The launch also caused a surge in interest in the 2022 “The Batman” film which saw a viewership uptick of 3.
5 times as many viewers as it had in previous weeks. Lauren LeFranc is the writer, executive producer, and showrunner of “The Penguin” series which will air its second episode this coming Sunday. Source:.
