Apple TV+ series accounted for 6 of the top 10 streaming debuts of Q4 2019
Apple CEO Tim Cook commented Tuesday that the Apple TV+ streaming service is "off to a rousing start.”
While Apple did not release any figures, Parrot Analytics has compiled audience demand data to back up his assertion.
Apple TV+ Original series accounted for 6 of the top 10 Digital Original debuts with American audiences in Q4 2019.
The following table breaks down the top 10 streaming debuts of the quarter with US audiences – defined as the average
audience demand for a new series’ 30-day premiere range, indexed against the demand of the average show in the US.
Top Streaming Debuts – US Q4 2019
Rank Title 30-day Post-Premiere Demand Index Original Platform
1 The Witcher 106.7x Netflix
2 The Mandalorian 99.2x Disney+
3 Harley Quinn 27.7x DC Universe
4 Truth Be Told 26.5x Apple TV+
5 Servant 22.1x Apple TV+
6 See 22.0x Apple TV+
7 For All Mankind 19.7x Apple TV+
8 Raising Dion 18.5x Netflix
9 Dickinson 18.2x Apple TV+
10 The Morning Show 16.5x Apple TV+
While Netflix’s The Witcher and Disney+’s The Mandalorian were the top debuts by far, the table shows how consistently Apple TV+ Originals delivered strong audience demand in
the world’s most important entertainment market.
This is particularly impressive considering the top three debuts came from well-established and beloved pre-existing IP
with global fanbases.
The new streamer’s sixth best-performing debut series – SAG Award-winning The Morning Show – was still 16.5x more in demand over its 30 day premiere period than the average TV series with US audiences.
