  • 25 million viewers is the season’s average to date, putting the final run 17% above Season 2 over the same post-release window.
  • 44% growth from the Season 2 premiere to Season 3’s opening episode had already signaled stronger demand for the final season, even though Warner Bros. Discovery did not release weekly totals.
