Hot Sheet: Ahsoka dominates demand charts

TVOKids series PAW Patrol jumped to the second spot on the overall TV chart.

Disney+’s new galaxy-hopping series Ahsoka has risen to the top of the demand charts in Canada.

Ahsoka, which stars Rosario Dawson and is the latest in the Star Wars series, was 38.44 times more in demand than the average TV series in Canada for the week of Aug. 21 to 27, according to Parrot Analytics. It gained more than 17 demand points from the previous week and was No. 1 on both the digital originals and overall TV charts.

Ahsoka replaced Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building (25.06) at the top of both charts. Only Murders in the Building saw a dip of more than four demand points to slide to No. 3, while Prime Video’s Good Omens (27.34) moved up to No. 2.

There were more changes on the digital list from the previous week, with Peacock’s Love Island USA (18.07) — which streams on Crave in Canada — Netflix’s I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson (17.8) and Disney+’s The Mandalorian (17.46) coming in at the eight, ninth and tenth spots, respectively.

On the overall TV chart, PAW Patrol, the TVOKids series from Spin Master Entertainment, re-entered the list at No. 2, with 28.93 demand points. Only Murders in the Building dropped to No. 6, while Good Omens moved down to No. 4.

Meanwhile, NBC’s Saturday Night Live (24.8) re-entered the list at No. 7, FX’s What We Do In The Shadows (23.52) No. 9, and Supernatural (23.32) at No. 10.

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.
