Since its debut in August, *Alien: Earth* has been consistently gaining viewers on streaming platforms. Each weekly episode on FX and Hulu boosted its popularity, and it naturally reached the #1 spot on Disney+ (which includes Hulu content) with its season finale this week. However, the show was quickly overtaken by a new series, becoming the #1 show itself. The latest data reveals this new top series is actually quite unexpected.
Disney+’s most popular show is no longer *Alien: Earth*. Marvel’s new animated series, *Marvel Zombies*, has taken the top spot, according to data from FlixPatrol. This series, a spin-off from *Marvel’s What If…?*, is a big change for Marvel Studios, offering a more mature, violent show with plenty of gore and intense death scenes involving the Avengers. Early numbers suggest *Marvel Zombies* is proving to be very popular with viewers.
How Marvel Zombies Was Able to Beat Alien: Earth in the Streaming Charts
As a big fan of what’s trending, I’ve been following the numbers on Flix Patrol, and they’re really showing how popular *Marvel Zombies* is! It scored a 723, meaning it consistently ranked as the #2 show on Disney+ across a lot of countries. *Alien: Earth* did well too, with a score of 429, but it was averaging around the #5 spot. It’s great to see what people are actually watching!
Several things helped *Marvel Zombies* become the most-watched show on Disney+, surpassing *Alien: Earth*. First, anything with the Marvel name automatically draws a large audience of franchise fans. Plus, the series offered something fresh and different within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which piqued viewers’ interest.
Beyond that, the way *Marvel Zombies* was released played a big role in its success. *Alien: Earth* released episodes weekly, so most viewers watched one at a time. *Marvel Zombies*, however, released all episodes simultaneously, encouraging viewers to watch the whole series quickly to avoid spoilers. This difference in release strategy likely contributed significantly to *Marvel Zombies*’ higher viewership.
It’s surprising that *Marvel Zombies* has overtaken *Alien: Earth* in popularity, considering *Marvel Zombies* has only half the number of episodes (four compared to *Alien: Earth*’s eight). *Alien: Earth* also has longer episodes than *Marvel Zombies*. This suggests viewers might be watching *Marvel Zombies* all at once, while they’re taking their time with *Alien: Earth*, watching an episode here and there.
Now that *Alien: Earth* and *Marvel Zombies* have both finished their seasons this week, it’s a good time for new viewers to catch up. Many fans likely waited until the weekend to watch the final episodes, and both shows have already hinted at more to come. It will be interesting to see which series gains more popularity in the coming weeks.
