HBO‘s Chimp Crazy is looking like it will be the outlet’s most watched documentary series in several years.
The show, from Tiger King director Eric Goode, isn’t drawing The Last of Us-level (or even Curb Your Enthusiasm-level) audience numbers. But Chimp Crazy is on pace to be the biggest docuseries at HBO since McMillions in early 2020. Chimp Crazy’s Sunday night lead-in, Industry, has also posted its best numbers to date early in its third season.
As for Industry, Sunday’s episode (the third of season three) brought in 370,000 cross-platform viewers that night — again, not that big by HBO’s all-in standards but a night one series high for the drama. Industry is also showing definitive growth over its previous runs, which isn’t the case for most shows three seasons in. The Aug. 11 season premiere has tallied 1.4 million viewers since its debut, half a million more than 2022’s season two opener drew over the same amount of time.
