Disney Plus quietly “axes” a beloved Marvel series

Since 2021, Marvel Studios and Disney Plus have been closely collaborating. After wrapping up the Infinity Saga, Marvel shifted its focus to television on streaming platforms. Their aim was to expand the universe even more, and they’ve been successful with this through shows like WandaVision, leading to a total of eleven series now airing on Disney Plus within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including the spinoff Agatha All Along from WandaVision.

The Penguin premiere gets great ratings in line with The Last of Us, House of the Dragon

As a die-hard TV enthusiast, let me share some exciting insights about current TV ratings! The latest sensation sweeping through the small screen is “The Penguin”, a thrilling spinoff featuring Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobb, the future nemesis of Batman. This gritty crime drama, reminiscent of “The Sopranos”, has been praised by critics, including myself, and it seems that viewers are equally smitten. According to Variety, HBO reports that “The Penguin” garnered an impressive 5.3 million viewers for its debut within four days of its release, across both HBO and Max. This viewership figure surpasses the season 4 premiere of “Succession” and the season 2 premiere of “The White Lotus”, two other critically acclaimed HBO dramas. However, it falls slightly short of the take for the season 4 premiere of “True Detective: Night Country”. Notably, “The Penguin” has delivered the best numbers for a new series on Max since 2022’s “The Last of Us”.
