“Yellowjackets” Season 1 finale drew 1.3 million viewers across platforms on Sunday, which was more than double the size of the audience for its season premiere. That said, this past weekend’s episode was not the most-watched of the season — not yet, at least.
The penultimate Season 1 episode generated 1.4 million multiplatform viewers on its own Sunday.That fact may seem shocking giving all of the buzz (pun semi-intended) generated by the “Yellowjackets” season finale. But to be fair to Showtime, the season finale had the NFL’s Wild Card Weekend to contend with.
The opening weekend to the NFL Playoffs certainly drew some potential eyeballs away from Showtime platforms. Hope the internet didn’t spoil the ending.Those viewers will come in the form of delayed-viewing numbers, which should start to trickle in at the end of this week (and continue beyond).
Counting delayed viewing across multiple platforms, “Yellowjackets” has averaged more than 5 million weekly viewers, which is the highest for a Showtime freshman series since “Billions” launched in 2016.While delayed and binge-viewing has certainly taken on a larger role since the “Billions” launch, the availability of Showtime series has also skyrocketed in recent years. “Yellowjackets” is the second-most streamed series in Showtime history, behind only the recently wrapped “Dexter: New Blood.”Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, who showrun the series alongside Jonathan Lisco, “Yellowjackets” stars Melanie Lynskey, Juliette Lewis, Christina Ricci and Tawny Cypress.
