According to the new data, Ahsoka viewership drops in comparison to other Star Wars shows.
Based on fresh viewership statistics presented by analytics firm Samba TV, the premiere episode of Ahsoka, released on Disney+ on August 22, garnered an audience in 1.2 million American households within the Live+5 Day viewing period. The second episode, also released on the same night, was initiated by 956,000 households.
According to a report from Deadline, the viewership data for Episode 1 of Ahsoka is comparable to the series debut of Andor, both having been watched in 1.2 million households during the Live+5 measurement, following Andor‘s launch in September 2022. However, Ahsoka’s viewership falls notably behind the numbers achieved by The Mandalorian, which secured an audience of 1.7 million households during its Season 3 premiere in March, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, which attracted 2.4 million households during its series premiere in May 2022.
Taking place after the Empire’s downfall, Ahsoka features Rosario Dawson in the role of the live-action portrayal of former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano. She delves into probing a burgeoning menace that poses a risk to a fragile galaxy. Ahsoka‘s cast also includes Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Ray Stevenson, Ivanna Sakhno, Diana Lee Inosanto, David Tennant, Lars Mikkelsen, and Eman Esfandi.
Episode 3 drops on 29 August.
