The overnight buzz surrounding last week’s Critics Choice Awards was enough to catapult the March 13 show to the top of PvNew’s Trending TV chart for the week of March 14-20, as viewers continued digging into all of the night’s highlights, controversies and big wins.
The live broadcast on The CW and TBS drummed up another 567,000 engagements with viewers this week, bringing the show’s total to more than 2 million engagements and marking a two-week run at No. 1.
Upcoming Disney Plus series “Ms. Marvel” was close behind this week with 526,000 engagements, landing in No. 2 ahead of its June 8 premiere. A large chunk of that engagement surrounded the March 15 trailer drop, which officially introduced Marvel’s first Muslim superhero to the world.

The six-episode series stars newcomer Iman Vellani as the title superhero, whose alter ego, Kamala Khan, was first introduced by Marvel Comics in 2013 as a teen who idolized Captain Marvel. Bisha K. Ali (Hulu’s “Four Weddings and a Funeral” miniseries) serves as executive producer and head writer.

Marvel had quite the buzzy week on social media. In addition to “Ms. Marvel,” the upcoming “Moon Knight” series starring Oscar Isaac generated a ton of Twitter chatter, coming in third place on this week’s chart with 168,000 engagements. Those were partially due to a new TV spot ahead of the March 30 debut, in which new footage alludes to a relationship between Isaac’s Marc Spector/Steven Grant and May Calamawy’s mysterious character, Layla.
