The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Is the 'Most-Watched Series Premiere Ever' for Disney Plus

 

Two weeks after the end of WandaVision, Marvel already has another hit. Disney+ has announced that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier's premiere weekend was the biggest yet for any series on the streaming service.

 

Disney+ did not provide exact viewership numbers for the premiere. However, it did mention that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier stands above WandaVision and the Season 2 premiere of The Mandalorian, with the trio composing the top three most watched weekend premieres for the platform.

 

 

During its annual shareholders meeting earlier this month, Disney announced that its streaming service had reached 100 million subscribers since its launch 16 months ago. The success of WandaVision and The Mandalorian, as well as movie releases like Pixar's Soul and Raya and the Last Dragon likely played a major role in boosting popularity for Disney+.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier began its six-episode run on March 19, with new episodes debuting on Disney+ every Friday for the next few weeks. There are currently no announcements for a second season, though Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has confessed that some ideas are being bounced around.

 

On the horizon for Disney+ original series, Marvel will debut Loki on June 11. The studio is also eyeing release dates before the end of the year for Hawkeye and Ms. Marvel.
