Jupiter's Legacy Tops Rating Chart
The day after Netflix announced its cancellation, Jupiter's Legacy sits atop the Nielsen Ratings chart for Original programming. For the week of May 3rd to May 9th, the Millarworld series garnered 696 million minutes of viewing time, enough to make it #1 for the week. The show debuted on the streamer with eight episodes on the 7th, so the number represents an audience draw from only 3 days of the window.
The Falcon And The Winter Soldier also stayed in the top 10, dropping five spots to #9. The Marvel Studios series racked up another 204 million minutes of viewership, a decrease of about 44% from the previous week. This is the Disney+ show's eighth week on the charts and its second week where no new episodes were released.
Fans who were ramping up for the return of Lucifer on Netflix kept that show in the top 10 as well. It once again ranks #10 with 190 million minutes of eyeball time against its 77 available episodes. That's a 35% increase over the previous week. The show saw the second half of season five released last week so we're expecting a #1 ranking when the ratings window for that period is published.
The Boys | Starlight Launches new Music Video
Vought International (the nefarious corporation behind all of the misdeeds in The Boys) launched a twitter channel last month. Today they posted new content in the form of the music video "Never Truly Vanish." The song is Starlight's (Erin Moriarty) ode to fallen supe Translucent, the resident "Invisible Man" of The Seven. The song does not mention that Translucent died when Starlight's boyfriend Hughie (Jack Quaid) detonated a bomb that was stuck up his butt. The video closes with the notice that the song is available on #Vaughtify.
Season three of The Boys is expected later this year.
