Star Trek: Discovery has made waves in Europe, coming up top rated across all seven of the countries reviewed in our pre-MIPCOM In-demand special, after launching in the US on CBS All Access and Netflix elsewhere in September.

As the first series developed specifically for CBS’s SVOD service, the new Star Trek has gained CBS record sign-ups for its SVOD service. It’s the first Star Trek iteration to appear since Star Trek: Enterprise concluded in 2015.

Other shows recurring in the top three across nations included Narcos and Stranger Things. The third season of Narcos was launched throughout Europe in September and Stranger Things is set to start its second series in October.

France

France’s top three digital original favourites include Narcos, Orange is the New Black (OITNB) and Star Trek: Discovery. The third season of Narcos produced 65% more demand than the second favourite OITNB.

Also appearing on the digital favourites are 13 Reasons Why, House of Cards and Sense8, which have steady week-on-week demand despite having been released months earlier. Sense8 still draws high demand among some countries despite being cancelled earlier in the year.

Unsurprisingly, in the top ten overall shows, Game of Thrones led the list followed by The Walking Dead and Grey’s Anatomy. The latter, a Shonda Rhimes-created show, has just started its 14^th season and appears in a range of the top ten lists across the seven countries.
