We finally have an idea of just how big of a hit “Severance” was for Apple TV+. Since Season 2 premiered in February, the dystopian thriller saw 6.4 billion streaming minutes, according to data from Nielsen. Because of the way Nielsen calculates its data, this number includes viewership from both Season 1 and Season 2. It also accounted for viewership from the week of Jan. 13 to the week of March 17. The Season 2 finale set a new weekly high for the series, coming in at 876 million minutes during the week of March 17 to 23. That marks a 29% viewership increase compared to the season’s preview high. “Severance” also pushed out Netflix’s “Temptation Island” when it came to the highest concentration of viewers aged 18-to-49 years old, the most coveted demographic when it comes to television ratings. Roughly 71% of the viewership for “Severance” fell into that age range.
