As expected, Netflix remains the dominant force in the streaming market.
According to a recent report from data tracking company Luminate Film & TV (originally reported by Variety), Netflix continues to dominate the top 10 streamed shows for the week of August 23-29. The first five entries on the list are all from Netflix, with a total of six shows included.
| Show | Platform | Estimated minutes watched |
|---|---|---|
| The Accident | Netflix | 782 million |
| Wyatt Earp & the Cowboy War | Netflix | 500.2 million |
| American Murder: Laci Peterson | Netflix | 446.9 million |
| Love is Blind UK | Netflix | 328.5 million |
| Emily in Paris | Netflix | 305 million |
| Bad Monkey | Apple TV+ | 279.3 million |
| Untold: The Murder of Air McNair | Netflix | 252.9 million |
| Bel Air | Peacock | 235.7 million |
| Love Island USA | Peacock | 210.5 million |
| Reasonable Doubt | Hulu | 190.7 million |
According to recent data, viewers have streamed an astonishing two billion+ minutes on Netflix alone, while watching popular shows such as The Accident and Love is Blind UK.
Despite few and far between, there are other networks listed. Apple TV+, which is filled with great TV shows that are not being discussed, secures the #6 spot with its new series Bad Monkey, while the remaining shows on the list are not from Apple TV+.
Apple TV+’s Vince Vaughn dramedy Bad Monkey was a top streaming show, but it couldn’t beat Netflix.
At the same time, Peacock successfully includes Bel-Air and Love Island USA, while Hulu adds Reasonable Doubt to their list.
Disney+ is noticeably absent from the list, which is not unexpected as there have not been any recent releases on the platform. The highly anticipated upcoming series on Disney+ will be Agatha All Along, a Marvel Cinematic Universe spin-off featuring Kathryn Hahn as the cunning witch Agatha Harkness.
Despite not being included in the list, Prime Video may have a chance to be added soon as The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 is set to premiere in the upcoming weeks.
In the end, these figures serve as evidence of Netflix’s enduring popularity, as it has become a prominent establishment due to its early establishment and vast selection. Moreover, this selection shows no signs of diminishing, as there are numerous new and returning series on the horizon, such as Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.
