1.5 million households watched the seventh and final – for now – chapter of The Book of Boba Fett, a figure that was an impressive 36% higher than the number who watched the finale of The Mandalorian season 2 back in December 2020.
That’s 36% higher than the 5-day finale draw of The Mandalorian‘s season 2 which streamed from Dec. 18-22, 2020 and pulled in 1.1M U.S. households per Samba TV metrics. The season one finale of The Book of Boba Fett, “In the Name of Honor,” was directed by Robert Rodriguez and written by Jon Favreau and Noah Kloor.
Some might argue that the viewership uptick here boils down to an increase in Disney+ subscribers, which were +11.8M to 129.8M worldwide at the end of their recent Q1. However, the streamer for the first time ever reported its U.S. and Canadian portion, that being 42.9M subs.
As always with such figures there are other considerations to take into account, but in pure numbers that is surely an encouraging figure for Disney and Lucasfilm to ponder while deciding whether of not to continue the adventures of Fett and Shand in their own second season or as guest characters on other shows.
