Netflix’s Stranger Things remains near the top

The Mandalorian has flown to the top of the TV demand charts ahead of its season three premiere on March 1. This past week, the series has come in 28.5 times more in demand than its competitors in Australia and 15.03 points above average in New Zealand.

Season five of the sci-fi show is due to hit production in May 2023, so there’s still some time before a release date is confirmed.

Coming in 19.47 times more in demand than other shows in Australia and 12.35 points in New Zealand, the new season saw the Millers’ family secrets catch up with them at the worst possible time.
