Once again topping all four TV demand charts this week is The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. After coming to the end of its six episode run last week, the series has set up a launch pad for a fourth Captain America movie, with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier showrunner Malcolm Spellman writing the script for the film.
This week The Falcon and the Winter Soldier comes in at 31.68 points higher than the average in Australia, and 22.04 times higher in New Zealand.
The Falcon And The Winter Soldier is the third Disney+ show in a row to hit the number one spot after The Mandalorian took the top spot ahead of their second season launch in October 2020. WandaVision took over as the show to beat on February 2nd this year.
With the fourth season of The Handmaid’s Tale hitting screens this week, the show has shot back up the charts. This week its highest position is second on the Digital Original Australian charts with 22.39 point above market average.
Last season of The Handmaid’s Tale ended when June and her handmaid friends gave up their seats on the escape flight from Gilead to Canada. They went and distracted guards instead, so that the 86 children onboard the plane could escape. As June ran away, she was shot.
This season picks up where the last left off, with June recovering from the gunshot wound and working out what to do next.
Making a big debut this week is Netflix’s Shadow and Bone, an American fantasy series developed by Eric Heisserer and based on the Grisha novel trilogy.
Ravka is a fantasy kingdom in a war-torn world plagued by the Shadow Fold. The Shadow Fold is a permanent darkness separating East from West Ravka, and an area which is known to be inhabited by carnivorous winged creatures known as Volcra. Alina Starkov discovers that she can use magic, and that she possesses the power to create light.
Shadow and Bone came in at fifth on the Digital Original Australian chart and fourth on the Digital Original New Zealand chart.
