In this article we look at the top breakout shows of the past week. Breakout shows are the most in-demand series that have premiered in the past 90 days.
Disney+’s latest live-action Star Wars offering Ahsoka topped the ranking in its debut week, with 49.3 times the average series demand. The show had a 78% increase in demand which came in the lead up to, and right after its first two episodes premiered on August 22. It unseated My Adventures with Superman, which had 36.5 times the average series demand, a further 5% decline this week.
Taylor Sheridan is Paramount+’s gift that keeps on giving.

Apple TV+’s Hijack and Peacock’s Twisted Metal both lost their positions in the top three this week, sliding down the ranking to fifth and sixth place respectively. While the former only had a 6% decline in demand, the latter had a double digit 12% drop in demand.
