‘The Boys’ Hits No. 3 After Season 4 Debut
“The Boys” was the third-most-streamed title in the U.S. in the week of June 10-16, per Nielsen. While that total accounts for all seasons of the Amazon Prime Video superhero series, much viewership was driven by the release of Season 4. With four days of availability for those first three episodes, the series was watched for 1.2 billion minutes during this viewing window.
The top title of the week, unsurprisingly, was “Bridgerton.” The Shonda Rhimes’ produced Regency-era drama has been making viewership headlines for nearly two months now, since the release of Season 3’s first four episodes on May 16. The season’s final four episodes dropped on June 13, driving the series to hit a massive 3.5 billion minutes watched from June 10 to 16.
After its No. 1 debut the week prior, “Your Honor” was the second-most-streamed title of the week. The Bryan Cranston legal drama, which ran on Showtime from 2020 to 2023, has seen renewed interest since its recent addition to Netflix, reaching 1.9 billion minutes watched in its second full week of availability on Netflix — though this total also accounts for Paramount+, where the series was already available.
There were three more titles above one billion minutes watched during this viewing window: “Bluey,” a chart regular; “Hit Man,” which debuted the week before and “Grey’s Anatomy,” another chart regular. According to Nielsen, this is only the sixth time that six titles have reached that height in one week.
Rounding out the bottom of the chart were “Sweet Tooth” in the first full week of availability of its fourth season as well as “NCIS,” “Bob’s Burgers” and “Criminal Minds.”
