The Roy family from HBO’s Succession ascended to second place for overall TV demand following a shocking episode that created much buzz on social media.
The (pictured) tragicomedy series about infighting between members of a family that runs a media empire was 34.15 times more in demand than the average TV series in Canada for the week of April 10 to 16, according to Parrot Analytics.
Succession, which streams on Crave, jumped three spots and gained more than six points in demand from the week before.
Disney+’s The Mandalorian continued to be the most in-demand series across both the digital originals and overall TV charts with an average of 38.34, an increase of just over two points in demand.
Paramount+’s Star Trek: Picard, which streams on Crave, ranked No. 2 on the digital originals chart while moving up four spots into the top three for overall TV. The series was 29.89 times more in demand than the average TV series in Canada, up about five-and-a-half points in demand from the prior week.
Rounding out the top five for overall TV are Showtime’s Yellowjackets (29.67), which also streams on Crave, down two spots and nearly two points in demand to No. 4, and Comedy Central’s South Park (29.48), dropping one spot to No. 5 despite picking up more than a point in demand. Meanwhile, TVOKids’ PAW Patrol (23.22) barked its way back on to the list at No. 10.
On the digital side, Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso dropped one place to No. 3, and more precipitously fell four spots to No. 7 for overall TV, with an average of 27.3, down nearly a point-and-a-half in demand. Crave original Letterkenny (20.5) moved into the top four despite losing more than point in demand, followed closely by a pair of Netflix series, Shadow and Bone (19.16) and Stranger Things (18.86) at No. 5 and No. 6, respectively.
Meanwhile, HBO Max’s Titans, which streams on Netflix in Canada, cracked the digital originals list at No. 8 and was 13.72 times more in demand than the average series in Canada.

Parrot Analytics calculates its Top 10 lists using Demand Expressions, which are shown by using a metric that demonstrates how much more in-demand the top series are than the average TV show (linear, pay TV, SVOD and AVOD) in Canada. For example, a difference of 1x represents the market average and 10x means a series is 10 times more in demand than the average TV show in this market.
