A report from Business Insider suggests that 6 of the 10 top streamed shows in Q4 of 2019 came from Apple TV+.
According to the report:
As far as the list is concerned, its no surprise the Netflix smash hit The Witcher was number one, closely followed by The Mandolorian on Disney+. Here's the list in full:
- The Witcher" (Netflix)
- The Mandalorian" (Disney Plus)
- Harley Quinn" (DC Universe)
- Truth Be Told" (Apple TV Plus)
- Servant" (Apple TV Plus)
- See" (Apple TV Plus)
- For All Mankind" (Apple TV Plus)
- Raising Dion" (Netflix)
- Dickinson" (Apple TV Plus)
- The Morning Show" (Apple TV Plus)
As the report notes, it may come as a surprise that The Morning Show, one of the most highly touted shows prior to the launch of Apple TV+ is one of its least popular, despite picking up nominations for Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild awards.
Despite its excellent cast featuring Octavia Spencer and Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), Truth be Told has been one of Apple TV+'s more lowkey offerings. However, if these figures are on the money, it looks like its actually proving to be a smash hit with viewers.
Recent reports have suggested that Apple might be planning to create podcast content based on some of its Apple TV+ shows in order to help promote them.
