Some 18.87 million people watched South Carolina cap an undefeated season by beating Iowa, 87-75, in April 7’s championship game, according to Nielsen ratings.

As Apple TV+ has built up its catalog of original series, it has burnished its brand as the home of prestige dramas, including new originals Masters of the Air and Manhunt. Drama comprises nearly 35 percent of the platform’s current programming, per Luminate’s tally. The streamer, part of Apple’s services division, broke out with the global success of Ted Lasso, won a best picture Oscar with CODA and is the current home to Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. 2024 Preview.

The output of TV premieres (both streaming and linear) last year even lags behind the pandemic year of 2020, which still saw just under 2,000 season and series debuts, per a tally from Luminate. The numbers paint a pretty stark picture of just how much the TV world shrank. Comedies and dramas saw the steepest declines, with the former having 30 percent fewer premieres (134 vs. 192) than in 2022 and dramas falling off by about 25 percent (381 vs. 510).
