Arrested Development Season Four - Preliminary Report


Before the debut of Arrested Development’s fourth season, social networking sites across the spectrum were 'buzzing' with excited fans anticipating the show’s premier on Netflix.  The show’s “digital buzz” tripled that of Netflix’s debut of the popular series “House of Cards.”  "AD" fans had been long awaiting this arrival – moreover, that they could now 'binge' through the series, delving into the content whenever and wherever.


According to Procera Networks, a California-based broadband technology firm, "Arrested Development" saw promising viewer ratings early after its Netflix debut.  One unspecified DSL provider tracked by Procera, showed that “thirty-six percent of all devices connected to Netflix … were watching at least one episode” of "Arrested Development" – three times the number of viewers tuned into “House of Cards.”  Another unspecified digital service provider saw traffic peaks of ten percent following “AD’s” release. 

The following is Procera’s preliminary report detailing the impact of the series four debut on total Netflix traffic.  There's some pretty cool data in terms of the various devices viewers use to watch the show.
