Apple TV’s Pluribus debuted in the top three of the digital original demand chart in Canada following its Nov. 7 premiere.
Created by Breaking Bad‘s Vince Gilligan, the series (pictured) was 33.9 times more in demand than the average series in Canada during the week of Nov. 10 to 16, according to Parrot Analytics. The post-apocalyptic sci-fi came in at No. 3 behind Prime Video’s Hazbin Hotel and Netflix’s Stranger Things.
Hazbin Hotel remained the leader on both the overall and digital originals charts, increasing its demand from last week by six points to 106.1.
Stranger Things again landed at No. 2 on the overall and digital originals charts. However, the supernatural horror saw its demand slide by six points compared to last week to sit at 61.5. Part one of the fifth and final season debuts on Nov. 26.
Further down, Paramount+’s Landman returned to the list at No. 9 with a demand average of 21.3. The Western oil-drilling drama returned for its second season on Nov. 16.

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. Demand is defined as the total audience demand being expressed for a title within a market. Audience demand reflects the desire, engagement and viewership, weighted by importance; thus, a stream or download is a higher expression of demand than a “like” or comment.
