ER, the beloved medical drama that ran on NBC for 15 seasons, made its long-awaited streaming debut back January 14. Die-hard fans and new viewers alike rushed to Hulu to binge the show, which originally aired between 1994 and 2009. This marks the first time that ER has been available to stream on any subscription platform, so now we all can delight in watching the likes of George Clooney and Julianna Margulies —both of whom famously caught their big breaks on the program— roam the halls of Chicago’s (fictional) County General Hospital.
Binging 15 seasons worth of an American medical drama is quite a challenge —it would take nearly two full weeks of non-stop viewing to watch every single of the show’s 331 episodes— but ER fans of all ages have proven themselves up to the task. Hulu exclusively provided Decider with these viewing statistics about how their subscribers have been watching ER, and we’re excited to share them with you!
More and more fans are discovering & re-discovering the series
While all episodes of the series are available to stream, over 90% of viewers started watching from the very beginning: Season 1, Episode 1.
Super fans have already watched 'ER' for days
Approximately 12 people have already made it through half the series. That’s 157 episodes; over 7,000 minutes; 118 hours of television; and amounts to almost 17 hours of television per day for 7 days! I wonder how these dedicated 12 people chose to spend their remaining 7 hours per day not watching ER?
Younger audiences are excited to finally be able to stream the series
The series may have debuted over 20 years ago, but it’s attracting new, younger viewers. The most common age of viewers who have streamed the series on Hulu so far is 27 – which means they were in grade school when the show originally aired on TV.
Women are scrubbing in to stream 'ER'
Nearly 2/3 (63%) of subscribers who watched ER on Hulu in Week 1 were women.
'ER' made Hulu's top 5 most-watched shows in its first week
Ranked by minutes watched, ER is one of the five most-watched shows across the entire service.
