Lanterns Rakes In More Than 18 Million Views Per Episode Globally As Season Finale Approaches
It’s safe to say that Lanterns is burning bright. The DCU series is raking in millions of views globally, competing with other HBO juggernauts like Euphoria and The Pitt.
Lanterns, the new DCU series, is drawing massive global viewership numbers as its season finale approaches. According to Nielsen statistics, the seventh episode alone amassed 7 million views in the United States within the first three days, across HBO's cable channels and streaming service, HBO Max. In the US, Lanterns averages over 12 million views per episode, which jumps to 19 million when global viewership is considered.
This surge in viewership is anticipated to continue, as 1.5 million new viewers watched the premiere episode just last week. This positive trend is great news for both fans and critics who have shown enthusiasm for Lanterns. While the series has sparked debates among hardcore fans due to the fate of a central character, there is still hope, as some theories circulating online suggest otherwise.
With these figures in mind, Lanterns is now comparable to other highly popular HBO shows, such as Euphoria and The Pitt. The series' previous episode received an eight out of 10 rating from IGN's Jesse Schedeen, who commended the episode for reviving the series' lost momentum and re-establishing the core dynamic between Hal and John.
Lanterns is set to conclude its season with a finale airing on HBO Max this coming Sunday, October 4. Fans have plenty of questions left unanswered, and the episode has already sparked numerous fan theories and memes, particularly revolving around Mogo and John Stewart.
