Disney + certainly can't compete with other services in terms of sheer number of original content, but one thing is certain: the few series available are a success. Disney has revealed that its most recent original series, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, boasts the best debut ever on the platform.Disney has created a ranking of the most popular series based on the views of the " opening weekened "on Disney +. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is therefore categorized in the days "March 19 - March 22". According to the data, the most viewed debut episode is precisely that of the series dedicated to Captain America's friends. In second position we find WandaVision, while in third position there is the debut episode of The Mandalorian Season 2.
Disney + has suffered some slowdown due to COVID-19, but the debut of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier arrived shortly after the Wandavision finale, thus keeping the attention on the Marvel Cinematic Universe high.
We also remember that Disney + is planning a series of Loki, the saga The Bad Batch (basically a sequel to Clone Wars) and The Book of Boba Fett. Will one of these shows be able to beat The Falcon and Winter Soldier?
