‘Agatha All Along’ Sets Unprecedented Viewership Record at Marvel Studios, Unrivaled by Any Other MCU Series

As a seasoned gamer of both the small and big screens, I must say that the unexpected gem Agatha All Along has undoubtedly captured my attention. The show’s unique blend of humor, mystery, and character development is a breath of fresh air in the Marvel Universe.


Approximately 14 days ago, the series titled Agatha All Along made its debut with the first two installments. Initially, opinions were split, but since then, both audience and professional reviews have settled, resulting in a ‘Fresh’ certification on Rotten Tomatoes.

Despite experiencing review-bombing on IMDb, the show garnered an impressive 9.3 million views on Disney+ within its first week of streaming. Although the data may not be completely accurate, it provides a strong indication of the show’s overall popularity.

As per Brad Winderbaum from Marvel Studios, the show “Agatha All Along” has broken a relatively unknown record. In an interview with Variety, Winderbaum mentioned that the series boasts the highest number of viewers who continue watching among all Marvel shows, although he didn’t disclose exact statistics.

In TV shows, the continuation rate is the proportion of viewers who watch an entire series, moving on from one episode to another. This figure illustrates how many viewers who started watching the first few episodes stay engaged with later installments.

Additionally, Winderbaum disclosed that the production cost of Agatha All Along is surprisingly low compared to other productions, even less than the Echo spinoff from Hawkeye, estimated at around $40 million.

The show is our most affordably priced production, and I believe this was intentionally planned. We aim to produce these shows economically while maintaining responsibility. To put it simply, having a lower budget provides us with greater creative flexibility. For instance, “Agatha All Along” exemplifies this, as it uses minimal Computer-Generated Imagery (CG) compared to our previous works. Instead, it relies heavily on practical effects, which I believe adds a unique touch to the show.

Despite having a relatively small audience, Agatha All Along shows promise due to its strong retention rate and lower budget. This means there’s less financial pressure on the show to deliver extraordinary results. On the other hand, The Acolyte faces similar viewership issues but carries a hefty production cost of $160 million.
