'Lanterns' gets a mid-season trailer as its Nielsen debut draws debate

DiscussingFilm shared the mid-season trailer announcement on September 17, saying episodes release Sundays on HBO. Cosmic Book News reports that 'Lanterns' reached No. 8 on Nielsen with 500 million minutes watched once three episodes were available, after missing the Top 10 during its premiere and second-episode weeks. The outlet notes that put it behind 'Bluey' and 'SpongeBob SquarePants.' A user quoting the report argues that Nielsen ratings don't matter, especially in the streaming era.
