As was the case with The Mandalorian, Marvel Studios’ trippy sitcom-style satire WandaVision has catapulted to the top of Disney+’s streaming charts. In fact, it is currently pegged as the No. 1 show worldwide, according to Parrot Analytics (as reported by Forbes). Also right out of the Disney/Mandalorian playbook: Disney+ is set to air a documentary series about the making of the superpowered shows that occupy the burgeoning Marvel Studios block. The streamer announced the first installment—titled Assembled: The Making Of WandaVision—via its official Twitter account, as seen below.
The special will air on March 12—that’s a week after WandaVision’s season finale and a week before the premiere of Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Per Slash/Film, the docuseries will go “behind the scenes of the series and movies of the MCU.” Basically, we can expect a similar setup for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, Hawkeye.
Starring Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Teyonah Parris, Randall Park, Kat Dennings, and Kathryn Hahn, WandaVision hops through time-honored sitcom styles to tell the story of Wanda Maximoff as she alters reality. It’s the first of Marvel’s slate of shows for Disney+.

Well when a woman and a synthetic humanoid love each other very much…
…a book tries to burn itself?
Some assembly required, inquired Todd?
She’s not my mother, Todd.
dirtside’s mom has got it going on
Clearly you haven’t seen my mother lately.
In fact, it is currently pegged as the No. 1 show worldwide, according to Parrot Analytics (as reported by Forbes). Pretty cool, although I’m always skeptical of streaming numbers because you’re dependent entirely on what the streaming company chooses to release.
yeah i haven’t looked into the forbes article but i remember there being a lot of puff pieces about how the mcu netflix ‘ratings’ were when that was a thing and the data in one was just an extrapolation of twitter hashtag activity. not exactly hard-hitting data!that being said it’s pretty easy to believe that this is the biggest show in the world right now. not exactly stiff competition.
Parrot Analytics is the company that said something similar about Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which got mediocre ratings and had its final season burned off over the summer. These Marvel shows clearly do well enough to keep making them, but yeah, without a deep dive into the numbers that we rarely get, it’s almost impossible to say much beyond that.
Oh man, I bet this is the “secret” “10th Episode” that’s been supposedly leaked here and there on nerd sites. I’m sure it’ll be worthy of watching, but I was really hoping for a real epilogue, extended stinger, or one-shot type deal.
