The latest viewership report from Nielsen stated that “Loki,” the Tom Hiddleston-led Disney+ show, was viewed for 713 million minutes from June 21 through June 27, making it the most-viewed streaming show of that week, per Nielsen. That data is only based on the first three episodes of the series, which underscores its popularity. Though the strong viewership of “Loki” is not particularly surprising — the series is part of the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe — the series has the potential to become Disney+’s biggest superhero title to date. All of Disney+’s Marvel Cinematic Universe shows, including “WandaVision” and “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” have enjoyed robust viewership, but the “Loki” premiere boasted stronger ratings than “WandaVision” (which tallied 434 million minutes for its first episode) and “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” (495 million minutes). Expect to see “Loki” top (or be near the top of) Nielsen’s weekly streaming reports throughout the next month.
Netflix’s “Lucifer” was the second most-viewed streaming television show of the week with 603 million minutes watched, according to Nielsen. The show, which premiered the second half of its fifth season on Netflix in May, has been a mainstay on Nielsen’s weekly reports for several weeks. A sixth and final season of the series was ordered by Netflix last year.
