The Joss Whedon favorites will be free to watch for everybody. In fact, Facebook will host online watch parties starting this evening for Buffy. Angel will have a watch party on Saturday, followed by Firefly on Sunday.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer debuts on Facebook Watch to a disappointing viewership of nearly 600,000 (https://variety.com/2018/digital/news/facebook-buffy-the-vampire-slayer-streaming-views-1203084341/)
The Joss Whedon trio of Buffy, Angel and Firefly -- released, respectively, last Friday, Saturday and Sunday -- combined for 949,000 views. Nearly half the total was for Buffy's first episode. "So, not really a slay," says Todd Spangler, pointing to Facebook's 185 million daily active users. "However you look at it, those aren’t the kind of TV-level numbers that Facebook execs have hoped for with the Watch strategy." Facebook users also didn't engage much with the three shows, even though the social network rolled them out with a "Watch Party" strategy.
