Marvel Studios’ Loki has reached a new viewership benchmark, joining the Letterboxd One Million Watched Club, a community-curated list of films and series that have been logged as watched by at least one million users on the platform. This makes it only the fifth television series overall and the second Disney+ original to achieve this milestone, reflecting years of sustained audience engagement rather than just initial premiere popularity.
The achievement was noted by film-tracking social media accounts and community lists, not through an official studio announcement, underscoring its origin in organic, long-term viewer behavior. While Letterboxd does not publicly disclose exact log counts, inclusion in this informal club signals that the series has crossed a significant threshold of logged watches on the social film discovery site.
Understanding the Letterboxd One Million Watched Club
Letterboxd is a social networking service where users voluntarily log, rate, and review films and television shows they have watched. Unlike streaming service dashboards or Nielsen ratings, its data is driven entirely by user participation. The “One Million Watched Club” is an informal, community-maintained list that tracks titles believed to have been logged by one million or more members.
The list behaves like an index of recognition rather than a transparent numerical ledger. The presence of Loki reveals its classification on the list, but not the publicly verifiable figure shown on the platform.
For a television series, reaching one million logged “watches” is particularly notable. It requires a long-term commitment from viewers, as logging a series typically indicates they have watched multiple episodes or an entire season, unlike a single feature film. Loki’s presence on the list places it among a small group of TV titles that have commanded sustained attention on a platform primarily known for film discussion.
Loki’s Established Streaming Success
The Letterboxd milestone adds a new dimension to Loki’s well-documented performance on Disney+. According to multiple third-party metrics and official statements, the series has been a standout hit for the streaming service since its debut in June 2021.
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has previously confirmed that Loki is the most-watched Marvel Cinematic Universe series on Disney+. This is backed by Nielsen data, which reported that the show’s first season accumulated a staggering 5.23 billion minutes of watch time in the United States, averaging about 872 million minutes per episode.
The series premiere set a high bar. In its debut week in June 2021, the first episode garnered 731 million minutes of viewing according to Nielsen, making it Marvel’s biggest series premiere on Disney+ at that time, outperforming the premieres of WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Disney also reported that the Season 2 premiere in October 2023 drew 10.9 million global views in its first three days.

A Milestone of Enduring Engagement
Industry analysts note that Loki’s inclusion in the Letterboxd club is significant because it highlights long-term viewer engagement rather than just premiere-week momentum. The first season was released over three years ago, and the second season concluded in November 2023, yet the series continues to be actively watched, logged, and discussed by viewers.
This sustained activity is likely fueled by the series’ pivotal role in the broader MCU narrative, introducing concepts and characters critical to the “Multiverse Saga,” and by the enduring popularity of Tom Hiddleston’s portrayal of the God of Mischief. The show has remained continuously available on Disney+, allowing new subscribers to discover it years after its initial release.
While the Letterboxd achievement does not measure total streaming viewership, audience satisfaction, or revenue, it serves as a distinct metric of committed fan engagement on a major platform for film and TV discussion. It demonstrates that Loki maintains a persistent presence in viewing communities beyond its official marketing cycles.
