“Arcane,” Netflix’s animated prequel to the “League of Legends” game franchise, is proving to be a smash hit.
A new report from Parrot Analytics indicates that as of November 21st, the series was the third-most in-demand series in the world across all platforms with 67.1x more demand than the average show.
It was beaten only by Amazon’s just-released “The Wheel of Time” (74.8x) and HBO’s long-finished “Game of Thrones” (70.7x).
Audience demand for the show has also grown exponentially from its debut – up 228% with American audiences and 629% with global audiences between its launch on November 6th and the day after its last batch of episodes were released on November 20th.
In comparison, most Netflix series peak in demand after two to four days of availability before dropping off. In the U.S., the series was the number one digital original series for the week of November 13th-19th.
“Arcane” has already been renewed for a second season.
