Not even Ben Stiller knows how many people are watching Severance
News in brief
Ben Stiller, the director of Apple TV+’s hit psychological thriller series Severance, is, like the rest of the public, not given viewership figures for the show by Apple.
“They don’t tell you the numbers. It’s really weird. So, you get these graphs and charts, like I said, that have peaks and valleys. But you don’t know what the baseline is. I guess could be like, based on 100 people or could be like, 200 million people. We don’t know.”
He added that it’s just “how, I guess, all the streamers do it”, highlighting the lack of transparency around audience measurement from the likes of Netflix and Disney+ as well.
