Marvel’s Runaways Wins The Night As The #1 Entertainment Specialty Program In Canada

Showcase‘s highly-anticipated coming-of-age series Marvel’s Runaways bolted onto the scene Wednesday with a special two-hour premiere claiming top spot as the #1 entertainment specialty program of the night among multiple key demos in Canada.

Furthermore, when looking at all Specialty programs on Wednesday, including male-dominated sports content, Marvel’s Runaways beat last night’s NBA Toronto Raptors game amongst younger audiences. The action series also ranked as Showcase’s #1 premiere this fall, adding another hit to the #1 entertainment specialty network‘s fall schedule.

Based on the Marvel comic books of the same name, the action series explores the younger side of the Marvel Universe and follows a group of six diverse teenagers who can barely stand each other but who must unite against a common foe – their parents. In the next episode (Wednesday, Nov. 29 at 8 p.m. ET on Showcase), the kids are reeling following last night’s events. As an investigation begins, they discover their parents may have more to hide than they could have imagined.

Viewers can catch up on full episodes of Marvel‘s Runaways on Showcase on Demand and in the US, the show airs on Hulu.
