Suprising no one, new report says years-long breaks between TV seasons leads to big viewership drops
A new report from Luminate confirms that long breaks between TV seasons, defined as over 18 months, lead to significant viewership drops for hit series. Shows like The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and Wednesday experienced substantial declines, while Stranger Things also saw a decrease. Conversely, The Pitt's viewership soared after a shorter break, highlighting the negative impact of extended hiatuses on audience retention.
