Peacock’s newest series, Apples Never Fall, has made a noteworthy entrance onto the streaming scene, capturing the attention of audiences in its debut week.
According to Nielsen data, the show accumulated an impressive 400 million minutes watched over its first weekend on Peacock, securing its position at No. 5 among streaming originals. Additionally, it claims the spot of the third most-watched streaming original drama series in the United States.
While detailed Nielsen charts won’t be available for public viewing until next month, early data suggests a promising trajectory for Apples Never Fall.
With only four days of viewing captured in the initial measurement period, there’s potential for the series to maintain or even improve its ranking as it completes its first full week of availability. The release of all seven episodes at once typically results in a rapid decline in chart standings following a binge-watching surge.
This milestone marks a significant achievement for Peacock, which has previously faced challenges in breaking through the dominance of Netflix on streaming charts. Last year, Peacock celebrated its first original series making the charts with The Best Man: The Final Chapters, followed by Poker Face landing in a respectable position.
In a rare occurrence last month, Peacock secured two spots on the originals list, further highlighting its growing presence in the streaming landscape.
Apples Never Fall, based on Liane Moriarty’s novel, delves into the complexities of the seemingly perfect Delaney family and their unraveling secrets. With a captivating storyline and stellar cast led by Sam Neill and Annette Bening, the series promises to keep audiences engaged throughout its entirety.
All episodes of Apples Never Fall are currently available for streaming, offering viewers a captivating journey into the depths of family dynamics and hidden truths.
