After a rough second quarter, Peacock gained two million subscribers, surpassing 15 million paid users overall.

The company announced the news at a third-quarter earnings call on Thursday, confirming numbers NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell told CNBC earlier this month.

On top of that, the streaming service has approximately 14 million additional users coming from bundled and paid offerings, reaching 30 million total customers.

“It’s become the best streaming value in the market, providing customers with a massive premium content offering across movies, TV, entertainment, sports and news in English and in Spanish,” Comcast chairman and CEO Brian Roberts said during the earnings call.
