We wrote that the fifth episode of the Penguin series in the Batman universe was released. And the new episode set another record, which proves its popularity and love among viewers.

Here's What We Know

The fifth episode averaged 1.8 million viewers in the US across multiple platforms, the strongest one-day performance of any series in the US this year.

The previous series, by comparison, attracted 1.7 million viewers on its first day.
