ARD is currently broadcasting the 3rd season of "Babylon Berlin".
With a view to the number of viewers, the TV start has so far been different than expected.
Update from October 16, 2020
: On Thursday, October 15, 2020, the 7th and 8th episodes of the new season of "Babylon Berlin" ran.
This time too, fewer people
tuned in
, namely only
3.13 million
, as DWDL reports.
Already on Wednesday the ratings had dropped sharply compared to last Sunday (see below).
At the weekend,
over 4 million viewers watched
the start of the third season
on
ARD
.
"Babylon Berlin" has been running on ARD since October 2020
News from October 15, 2020
: When it comes to the most successful German series of the last few years, one or the other might immediately
think of
“
Babylon Berlin”
.
The production has already won several awards and is also well received internationally - in America, for example, it is available on
Netflix
.
More than 17,000 people
also rated
“Bablyon Berlin”
on the well-known film website IMDb, where it achieved an average rating of 8.4 stars out of a total of 10 stars (as of October 15, 2020).
Due to the success, the creators shot more seasons - the 3rd season ran in January 2020, for example on
Sky 1
.
But fans without a Sky subscription don't have to wait any longer:
ARD
has been showing the latest episodes of the series since October 11, 2020.
“Babylon Berlin” on ARD: audience numbers suddenly dropped
When the
first season of “Babylon Berlin”
started on television two years ago, the number of viewers is said to have
climbed
to
almost eight million
, writes the media magazine DWDL.
An astonishing result that can no longer be said in relation to the third season: The first three episodes, which started on October 11, 2020, were
seen
by
around 4.3 million people
.
However, that number dropped dramatically the following Wednesday.
On that day, ARD broadcast the 4th, 5th and 6th episodes of the current season from 8:30 p.m. - and only
3.21 million people
tuned in.
DWDL also regards this decline as astonishing because immediately before the series was broadcast, an “ARD extra” on the corona situation was broadcast, which
over five million people
viewed.
"Babylon Berlin" was
obviously only able to tap a fraction of
this amount
.

Sky 1
in January 2020
.
Many fans may have already watched the new episodes this way.
