Severance Surpasses Ted Lasso as Apple’s Biggest Show

by

Through their significant and enigmatic efforts, the team inside Apple TV has achieved a remarkable milestone. The gripping show “Severance” has now become the most-watched series ever on Apple TV+, surpassing the acclaimed series “Ted Lasso”, amidst unparalleled excitement as Season 2 unfolds.

Never before on Apple TV+ has a show caused such a cultural impact as Severance. Three years since its eerie office sci-fi series premiere, Season 2 has achieved unprecedented success, catapulting it to the highest spots in their streaming rankings.

Based on data from Apple themselves, as reported by Deadline, the show “Severance” has become the most-watched series on Apple TV+ in terms of unique viewers. With the second batch of episodes only halfway through, and viewership projected to increase, it’s already outpacing all other shows on Apple TV+ en route to taking the top position.

Initially, Ted Lasso was our highest-viewed series, achieving that position after completing all three seasons. However, Severance managed to reach the same peak in just half the time, with fewer episodes compared to Ted Lasso’s full run.

Severance becomes Apple TV+’s biggest show ever

Despite Apple’s practice of keeping viewer-specific streaming data confidential by not disclosing the exact number of viewers or hours watched, Deadline managed to gain exclusive information about where Severance might stand within the broader ranking system.

According to Nielsen’s weekly Top 10 Original rankings from January 13, 2025, Severance was said to be the fourth most-viewed series across all streaming services during the Season 2 premiere.

As a passionate gamer, I’ve been blown away by the staggering success of my favorite series. In just the U.S., it has racked up an astounding 589 million minutes of watch time! And
