Additionally, when we look across all episodes on premiere day, Season 3 drew over 600,000 viewers, compared to 240,000 for Season 2.
That premiere day viewership is also the largest average minute audience of all premiere episodes of measured Amazon Original programs on their respective release day. Compared to Mrs. Maisel's 2.1 million average minute audience, the first episode of Season 2 for Jack Ryanon November 1, 2019 brought in about 2.06 million viewers.
When looking at average viewership by day, Season 3 of Mrs. Maisel had an average minute audience of 3.2 million viewers across its first seven days, surpassing the audience numbers of Season 2, which were just under 2 million.
Continuing the trend from Season 2, the third season of Mrs. Maisel found a strong base of female viewers, as 62 percent of its audience was female. However, that number is down from Season 2's audience share (65 percent of viewers were female). Even so, the show's female skew is still more prominent than that of the average minute audience of streaming Amazon programs overall (52 percent female).
