‘PRETTY LITTLE LIARS’ LAUNCHES FINAL SEASON AS TUESDAY’S NO. 1 TV TELECAST ACROSS KEY DEMOS AND NO. 1 MOST SOCIAL TV SHOW
“Famous In Love”
On the heels of its breakout success with the binge launch of “Beyond,” Freeform has again satiated the appetite of its robust digital audience making available new Bella Thorne drama “Famous In Love” for binge-viewing across key platforms, generating a network-record 4.8 million starts in its first five days and reaching an additional 5.5 million Total Viewers on linear TV for a combined 10.3 million Total Views to date.
This impressively makes “Famous In Love” the strongest digital start ever for a series in the network’s history, and when combined with “Pretty Little Liars,” the week of 4/7/17 now ranks as Freeform’s best week on Owned digital platforms in almost 4 years– since week of 8/26/13.
Fast-paced and a guilty pleasure from the opening scene, “Famous In Love” has quickly adorned a dedicated audience of binge aficionados. The first person to binge all ten episodes completed the season on April 19 at 3:29 a.m. EDT using the Freeform app on an iPad Air; while out of the people that have completed the binge, 11% watched it in one sitting, 39% watched it within a day and 72% watched it within 2 days. Moreover, an impressive 47% of “Famous In Love” viewers watching via the Freeform app/website were new to the network.
Based on Live + 3 day linear TV ratings, “Famous in Love” (9:02 – 10:02 p.m. EDT) ranked as the network’s biggest series launch in over 15 months across Adults 18-34 (309,000/0.4 rating) and Viewers 12-34 (497,000/0.5 rating) and across key target females Women 18-34 (259,000/0.8 rating), Women 18-49 (404,000/0.6 rating) and Females 12-34 (435,000/0.9 rating) – since “Shadowhunters” (1/12/16).
Competitively, “Famous In Love” stood as Tuesday’s No. 2 scripted cable TV telecast in Females 12-34 and the No. 2 original scripted cable TV telecast in Women 18-34 – behind only “Pretty Little Liars.”
In Live + 3 day versus Live + Same Day ratings, “Famous in Love” surged by double digits across target demographics including by +28% in Total Viewers (838,000 vs. 655,000), by +22% in Adults 18-49 (468,000 vs. 383,000) and by +21% in Women 18-49 (404,000 vs. 334,000).
