Katie Campione writing for Deadline with a very long headline: Broadcast Was “Surprisingly Resilient” in 2024 Amid Production Declines, but Streaming Still Leads the Pack; ‘Fool Me Once’ Led TV Last Year, Luminate Says

big IP franchises were still the best performing series on Disney+, and the solution becomes unclear. Percy Jackson and the Olympians was top dog on Disney+ last year with over 3B minutes viewed, and The Acolyte came in second place with 2.7B.

The so-called very unpopular show that no one watched, according to Star Wars YouTube at least, was the second most watched show on Disney+ in 2024, marginally behind the number one. Say what you will about the quality of the show, but the idea “nobody wants this” is clearly wrong.
