So, Crystal Lake is doing well
Nice news for prestige TV horror-heads: Crystal Lake racked up an impressive 1.3 billion watch minutes in its first 11 days on Peacock, making it the fourth most-watched scripted original series on the platform.
Recent Nielsen data reveals that the Friday The 13th prequel series, Crystal Lake, is performing exceptionally well on Peacock, the streaming platform. In just its first 11 days of release, the show garnered an impressive 1.3 billion watch minutes, placing it among the top four most-watched scripted original series on the platform.
Breaking it down further, this amounts to an estimated 3.3 million views per episode, putting Crystal Lake just behind other successful Peacock original scripted series such as The Best Man: The Final Chapters, All Her Fault, and the first season of The Five Star Weekend.
The show has also created a significant social media buzz since its debut on October 15. Sprout Social reported that the slasher series received 1.8 billion impressions in just one day and over 7.6 million video views in just eleven days, demonstrating sustained viewer interest in horror TV during the Halloween season. The series, starring Callum Vinson and Linda Cardellini as Jason and Pamela Voorhees, respectively, has been lauded for its portrayal of the tragic story of the homicidal mother-son duo.
Despite some critics noting that the show "pushes a plethora of ideas that don't always seamlessly blend," The A.V. Club's Saloni Gajjar generally praised the series, calling it "a gory ride."
