Though Season 3 hasn’t been announced yet, GLOW is proving to have a loyal fanbase. Neilsen reports “GLOW” had the highest concentration of viewers in the 18-49 demographic of any original streaming content it has analyzed to date despite only raking in 1.33 million viewers during its premiere weekend.
However, Neilsen’s numbers are only estimates and don’t take into account individuals who watch via mobile devices and computers so the numbers are sure to skew much higher.
GLOW Seasons 1 and 2 are now streaming on Netflix.
