BET’s “Sistas” & “Zatima” is currently the most popular shows on BET right now and it’s well deserved!
The cast and crew continues to break records with the original show and spin-off.
Variety shared:
“Sistas” Season 6, which returned Oct. 18, averaged 936,000 viewers this fall, followed by spinoff “Zatima,” which reached 630,000 viewers. More recently, Nielsen’s data also revealed that the show has recorded over 10 billion minutes viewed in multiplatform viewing across its five seasons.
According to Nielsen ratings, both “Sistas” and “The Oval” rank as No. 1 and No. 4 on linear among Black audiences age 2+ between July and October. Other titles in the top ten include “Ms. Pat Settles It” (612,000), “House of Payne” (499,000), “First Wives Club” (412,000), “Assisted Living” (404,000), and “The Ms. Pat Show” (398,000). (The second airing window of “The Ms. Pat Show” was recorded during this viewing window, which likely contributed to viewership numbers ranking below its leading lady’s newly-launched series, which premiered on Oct. 18).
BET CEO Scott Mills compares BET’s relationship with the “Madea” creator to how Pixar changed the animation game for Disney.
“If BET, by analogy, is to Black viewers what Disney is to families, then when Tyler Perry came up on the scene, it was similar to when Pixar came onto the scene,” Mills said. “Disney had an animation business that was just shocked by the extraordinary success of Pixar. Disney ultimately had this great vision that as opposed to competing with Pixar, they should bring Pixar onto their side.”
We love this! The cast keeps winning!
