Greene. Carter. Lewis. Weaver. Lockhart. Benton. These are the names of TV characters on viewers’ lips, characters on one of 2018’s hottest TV shows…a show that happened to premiere nearly 25 years ago. Now on Hulu, ER is having a second life.
The 15-season series made its streaming debut in January with much fanfare. Sure, ER has been off and on TV in syndication (most recently on Pop) since it ended its run on NBC in 2009, but the show was never accessible all at once on a (legal) streaming site. With all episodes now at their fingertips, viewers are eagerly eating up the series.
ER made its streaming debut on January and continues to be one of @hulu’s top shows. More than 35,000 viewers have finished all 15 seasons since launch. That’s 240 hours of TV, an average of five episodes of ER per day. I spoke with Sherry Stringfield (nbd, just my favorite ER actor) and a Hulu executive about the surprise second life of ER. Read it here. Love it with me.
