Sensate Forever? ‘Sense8’ is #2 in the US

There is an increasingly common trend towards disintermediation (e.g., Disney announcing the launch of its own VOD service planned for 2019); the industry is becoming more complex every day and consumer choices abound. Video-on-demand (VOD) television measurement, as well as SVOD, TVOD and AVOD TV series measurement, are all based on our Demand Expressions unit, a metric established by Parrot Analytics to capture demand for TV content across all platforms in 100+ markets. In this article, we investigate which streaming TV series, as well as pay TV, broadcast, and linear TV series, are currently the most in-demand in the U.S. domestic market in the last two weeks. As each article, our charts are powered by Parrot Analytics global TV demand data.

Here are the full insights from Parrot Analytics.

Insights from Parrot Analytics:

• Season three of Netflix’s ‘13 Reasons Why’ was announced on June 6 – likely a contributing cause to helping the series to continue to be the most in-demand digital series, with a 9.9 million Demand Expressions differences over the second ranking title, ‘Sense8’.
• ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ from Hulu continued to aired weekly, with 26.1 million Demand Expressions in the last two weeks.
• Notably, the launch of the series finale episode of ‘Sense8’(demand doubled compared in the same period last year) on June 8 caused high demand. The modern science-fiction drama has 47% more demand compared to dormant titles like ‘Cobra Kai’ and ‘Orange is the New Black’ (both titles are ranked in the bottom two).
