Jason Bateman and David Harbour have a certified hit on their hands. Their new dark comedy miniseries, DTF St. Louis, has officially climbed to the #2 spot on the Max streaming charts during its premiere week. According to data reported by TheWrap, the series drew 2.5 million viewers over its first three days, marking one of the platform's strongest debuts for an original comedy.

The show’s rapid ascent is especially notable for beating out major franchise competition. DTF St. Louis managed to overtake A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the highly anticipated Game of Thrones spinoff, in U.S. viewership rankings. Collider reports that the project, produced by Warner Bros. Discovery and Bateman’s Aggregate Films, has benefited from intense social media buzz surrounding the lead duo’s onscreen chemistry.

Created and directed by Steven Conrad, the series is a dark comedy and murder mystery centered on a love triangle between three adults (played by Jason Bateman, David Harbour, and Linda Cardellini) involving a dating app for married couples. CBR notes that the success of DTF St. Louis reinforces the current demand for star-driven limited series. With Steven Conrad serving as the creative force behind all seven episodes, the show has successfully capitalized on its prime release window to become the most-watched non-fantasy program on the service this month.
