The series finale of “The Boys” is about to be unleashed, the end to a divisive final season that has caused much debate about the show’s direction in its back half.
But unlike the recent “Daredevil: Born Again,” people are actually watching the series in droves.
Amazon is reporting that the season has reached 57 million viewers per episode globally – the highest yet for the series, despite only five weeks of data.
The season also reportedly ranks among the Top 10 most-viewed seasons of any Prime Video original series, and gave them the largest three-week ratings surge of any show or movie.
Showrunner Eric Kripke recently told THR that the ratings reassured him after all the online chatter in recent weeks:
“I’ve gone through a journey when I first started to read everything — like on social media or online — and it starts to feel like that’s the whole universe, and it feels scary, and you have a pit in your stomach. So then [you see the ratings and] you’re like, ‘Oh, obviously, how many times do I have to relearn the lesson that the online world is not the actual world?’ [The online reaction is] a fraction of very loud, opinionated people, and God love them. They’re welcome to have that opinion. But it’s actually not reflecting what’s happening out in the world. And once I saw [the numbers], I calmed right down.”
The finale clocks in at just over an hour and sets the stage for the prequel series “Vought Rising” which will premiere next year.
