One of the most striking local productions of recent times, Prince, achieved great success with its performance on the HBO Max platform. The series, which was previously broadcast as an original content on BluTV, was added to the platform’s library when BluTV converted to HBO Max in April.
The Prince series broke another record
The production, which met with viewers with the HBO Max label with its third season that started on May 9, has become the most-watched series among the platform’s international content. According to data shared by Warner Bros. Discovery, 74 percent of Max subscribers in Turkey watched the Prince series.
This rate shows that not only the number of views, but also the series’ power to bring new subscribers to the platform is quite high. HBO Max has so far produced many local productions in countries such as France, Spain, Romania, Hungary and Sweden. However, it was stated that it achieved its greatest viewership success on a global scale with Prince.
This result achieved by the series also revealed that original content production in Turkey can find a response on an international level. Warner Bros. It is stated that Discovery has started preparations for new projects centered in Turkey. This development is considered an important step in terms of making domestic productions more visible on international platforms.
Created by Giray Altınok and Kerem Özdoğan, The Prince sets its story in the imaginary Kingdom of Bongomia. In this kingdom under threat from the Hungarian Empire, Thenio, who ascends to the throne with the sudden death of the king, loses his mental balance as a result of an assassination attempt, and the throne is passed on to his unprepared brother, The Prince. The series humorously narrates the absurd situations found in the character who has no competence to undertake this responsibility.
With its third season, The Prince found a response not only among domestic viewers but also among international audiences. This interest has once again demonstrated the potential for domestic productions to gain a stronger place on global digital platforms.
