Dear Dr Harrington
We refer to your request of 18 November, and can advise as fol ows in relation to each
series:
The Basement
The series was launched on TVNZ+ (then known as TVNZ OnDemand) on 17 October
2019. It was removed at the end of the licence period on or about 16 October 2022.
Total viewer reach for the series was 21,343, and total streams were 102,478. A table
(by episode) is included below. Completion rate on a per episode basis is not
information that we have readily to hand, however per the below table completion of
episode 10 was approximately 27% of that of episode 1.
TVNZ does not control worldwide distribution of The Basement. This question could
be directed to the producer, Great Southern Television.
Run times for each episode are included in the table below. We do not have any
record of episode names – we don’t believe that these were individual y titled.

Beyond The Veil
The series was ful y launched on TVNZ+ (then known as TVNZ OnDemand) on 7 March
2022. The episodes were also broadcast weekly from that date on TVNZ 2.
Total viewer reach for the series was 46,963, total streams were 230,788. A table (by
episode) is included below. Again, completion rate on a per episode basis is not
information that we have readily to hand. Because Beyond The Veil is an anthology
series, the completion of al six episodes is less relevant as they designed to be
watched in any order, and they are al one-off in nature.
TVNZ does not control worldwide distribution of Beyond The Veil. We have included
the names of the relevant production companies below.
