In August 2023, there is a limited number of new TV shows premiering. However, three specific series are generating a lot of excitement online, including a highly anticipated Star Wars show. Exclusive data provided by Diesel Labs and Screen Rant reveals the most anticipated TV shows of the month, based on hype scores determined by online chatter and engagement. Diesel Labs' Attention Signals metric, which measures likes, shares, comments, and views on platforms like Facebook and YouTube, is used to rank the shows with the highest level of anticipation.
Apart from returning shows like Winning Time season 2, Reservation Dogs season 3, and Only Murders in the Building season 3, several new series are set to debut on streaming services and cable in August 2023. These shows have already garnered significant engagement from potential viewers online. One of the three most highly anticipated new series of August 2023 is particularly well-timed for the CW network, demonstrating its continued success despite the conclusion of popular series like Riverdale and The Flash earlier this year. From a reality show to a long-awaited Star Wars series, these three new TV shows are generating significant discussion on social media platforms prior to their release.
The attention scale metric is the percentage of attention based on the show or movie in the number one spot (which is represented as 100%).
3 Adventure Time: Fionna And Cake
TV Show | Premiere Date | Platform | Attention Scale |
---|---|---|---|
August 31 | Max | 1.24% |
With a 1.24% score on Diesel Labs’ Attention Scale, Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake emerges as the third most eagerly awaited new TV show of August 2023. This captivating series serves as a spinoff of Cartoon Network’s highly acclaimed Adventure Time, delving into the delightful adventures of Cake the Cat and Fionna the Human, the gender-swapped counterparts of Jake and Finn respectively. Premiering exclusively on Max on August 31, Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake presents ten exhilarating episodes, each lasting half an hour, with two enthralling installments released every week on the streaming service. Although Diesel Labs’ data showcases the series' modest score of 1.24% on the Attention Scale, it is important to note that this percentage is relative to the immense hype surrounding a franchise of this magnitude. Consequently, Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake has generated substantial pre-release engagement, further solidifying its anticipated success.
