The year 2024 has been a year of good original content on OTT and streaming platforms while the theaters were busy and bustling with chest-thumping heroes. Right from the third installment of the much-loved series Panchayat, Mirzapur, Mismatched, and Kota Factory, new worlds arrived with Call Me Bae, Showtime, and Indian Police Force.
Most-Viewed Web Series Of 2024
Interestingly, the most-viewed web series of 2024 turned out to be Kaleen Bhaiya’s world. Mizapur season 3, with a total of 30.8 million views is the most-viewed web series of 2024, surpassing Panchayat’s world by a margin of 2.6 million views.
Netflix & Prime Video dominated the list of the top 15 most-viewed web series of 2024, with 5 entries each. However, Netflix could claim only one spot in the top 5 with Heeramandi. The rest of the 3 spots in the top 5 are claimed by Prime Video and one by Disney+Hotstar.
Three Reasons Why Mirzapur Destroyed Panchayat!
While Panchayat has been one of the most loved web series in India, the third installment of the series could not surpass the viewership of Mirzapur season 3 for three very strong reasons.
The Love For Crime Series
The audience has an affection towards crime dramas since they are racy and are filled with suspense throughout. Meanwhile, Panchayat had an altogether different world, with humor acting as the basis of the series.
The Gradual Progress!
The gradual progress of Panchayat over three seasons shifted towards politics, making distance from the organic humor that made the first part hugely successful.
The Stardom Effect!
While TVF-led Panchayat season 3 was shouldered on Jitendra Kumar entirely in the first season, it eventually made everyone in the web series a star over a period of time. Meanwhile, Mirzapur had a stellar cast, with Ali Fazal and Pankaj Tripathi taking the mantle and leading the way, making the series a winner!
