The mystery over the reveal of the killer in the series finale of Mare of Easttown caused HBO Max to crash. With that crash came incredibly large numbers. The Kate Winslet-led limited series pulled in four million viewers across HBO and HBO Max for its finale.
Nearly three million viewers tuned in on Sunday night (across all platforms) which marked a series high for both linear and digital. The finale now holds the record as the most-watched episode of an Original Series on HBO Max in its first 24 hours of availability.
Mare of Easttown is one of the only shows in HBO’s history to see consecutive growth week to week. The show continued its growth as viewers discovered it week after week.
Mare of Easttown, created by Brad Ingelsby and directed by Craig Zobel,
followed a detective in a small Pennsylvania town investigating a local murder while trying to keep her life from falling apart. In addition to Winslet, the series also stars Julianna Nicholson, Jean Smart, Angourie Rice, Evan Peters, Guy Pearce, David Denman, Joe Tippett, Cailee Spaeny, John Douglas Thompson, Patrick Murney, James McArdle, Sosie Bacon, and Neal Huff.
