How well is The Crown doing? Deadline reports Nielsen has released viewing data for the Netflix series’ second season.
The new season will follow Queen Elizabeth II’s (Claire Foy) reign through the turbulent 1960s. The cast also includes Matt Smith, John Lithgow, Victoria Hamilton, Jared Harris, Vanessa Kirby, and Dame Eileen Atkins.
According to Nielsen, The Crown has averaged “nearly 1.3 million total viewers and nearly 600,000 in the 18-49 demo” since its sophomore season debuted on December 8th. Also of note, fans of the Netflix series seems to skew older and female. About 65% of viewers are female and about 66% of the people who watched season two within three days of its release were 35 or older.
What do you think? Are you a fan of The Crown? Have you finished season two yet?
My Christmas prep has been delayed due to binging all Season 1 & 2 episodes into Season 2! My best friend kept saying I had to watch & now I am hooked. My family will wonder where all the decor is but hey this was worth it for this year. How accurate is their take on some of these people & situations? I love the soap aspect & the dirty plays I had no idea went on. But I do feel bad for Elizabeth. If only they would have given up on those ancient formalities & traditions, even now.
Binge watched both seasons of the Crown, Thoroughly enjoyed it. I wish Netflix would put out more shows of this calibre. More shows that attract baby boomers!!!
They nailed the demographics 100%. I think it’s tired and slow, though I like how Elizabeth talks. She nailed the royalty lilt to her tongue. But my wife, she absolutely loves it. She’d watch it every day if she could.
