Premiering on May 23, season five garnered 3.9 million views globally within its first four days, according to Disney. The show not only excelled among unscripted content but also stood out in overall entertainment ratings. Deadline noted that the season five premiere currently holds the second highest-rated premiere episode of the year, with only "Shogun" outperforming it.
The surge in viewership is not limited to the latest season. Disney reported that the audience for the first season tripled following the season five premiere, indicating that viewers are catching up on missed episodes or familiarizing themselves with the family's recent backstory. Additionally, seasons two through four saw viewership increases ranging from 99 to 187 percent after the latest season's debut.
