The following chart ranks ALL comic book related series that have aired on TV in the past few years with the most recent viewership numbers to show what is currently most popular.
This chart also helps put in perspective just how big (or
small) the comic book viewership market is on TV. Only the top 7
shows even reach 1% of the American population. It is possible with DSR
and later viewings that these numbers could be doubled. Netflix
shows are estimates so they might be off. If you remove the Netflix shows
its a surprise to see Lucifer having the highest viewership of any DC or Marvel
title. Shows that have ended recently are also included on the list
for the sake of comparisons. The cartoon animated market is even smaller
with not a single show having more than 2 million viewers. The
Walking Dead easily ranks #1 even though it has lost 50% of its peak viewership
from a few years ago.
