Secret Stage might need been a bit naff, however lots of people watched it anyway, so Amazon is renewing it for a second season.
It looks as if video diversifications are having a very good 12 months this 12 months – each Fallout and Arcane did exceptionally nicely on the time of their respective releases, and now the animated anthology sequence Secret Stage has seemingly carried out extremely nicely too, as Amazon is giving it a second season. As reported by Selection, Amazon has shared that Secret Stage is seemingly Prime Video’s most-watched animated sequence debut of all time inside its first week.
Unsurprisingly precise viewership numbers weren’t shared, as a result of when are they, however a measurement from Luminate says that the sequence was watched for 155.3 million minutes within the US alone throughout its first week; that is about 1.4 million views when you base it on how lengthy the whole present is (109 minutes).
For me, that is simply form of an instance of the general high quality of a present not mattering a lot when persons are flocking to look at it. I did not actually get the purpose of Secret Stage (aside from the entire “getting cash” factor), and felt that it did not actually work as its personal factor, nor did it promote me on any of the present’s video games – even when that Pac-Man episode is getting its personal online game adaptation subsequent 12 months, weirdly sufficient. Full circle second I suppose?
What it does additionally present is that online game diversifications are the large factor proper now, with sequence like Fallout rapidly getting picked up for a second season (which began taking pictures not too long ago), and even forgotten, nearly unknown titles like Sega’s Everlasting Champions getting picked up for diversifications. Who may have guessed that video video games are actually widespread and that there is numerous numbers of them to show into TV reveals or motion pictures!
