The viewing numbers are in for the second season of Andor, and you know what? It turns out that quite a lot of people enjoyed watching it. According to the Nielsen charts (via The Hollywood Reporter), the prelude to Andor’s final mission and the birth of the rebellion didn’t just perform well; it earned the number one spot as the most-watched show, beating out competitors on other streaming services.
It should hardly come as a surprise, given the immense praise it received from critics upon release. During the week of May 12, the gripping Star Wars drama series racked up an incredible 931 million minutes of viewing. Those numbers continued to grow by 101 minutes week to week, leading into the show’s finale. The closest contender to try to knock Cassian from the top spot on the Disney Plus ranking was Bluey with 922 minutes viewed. Well, sure, we’re all for shaping young minds, but has Bluey ever rescued a senator after publicly defying the Galactic Empire? Yeah, we didn’t think so.
