Netflix’s new fantasy series Shadow and Bone got off to a good start as it entered the Nielsen Streaming Top 10 for originals at Number for the week of April 19th to 25th. The show had an estimated 721 million minutes of viewing for the week of its debut. That does not mean that it is guaranteed a second season renewal, though, as The Irregulars performed well in the Nielsen Streaming ratings but was quickly cancelled after one season. Holding on to the Number 1 slot was the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier which had its finale that week. That one had an estimated 796 minutes of viewing. Still in the Top 10 for a third week was Amazon’s horror series Them, though it slipped to the Number 5 slot with 284 million minutes of viewing. And Lucifer returned to the Top 10 for Netflix, landing in the Number 7 slot with 201 million minutes of viewing.
In the Top 10 for acquired series, Supernatural continued its run, though it slipped to Number 9 while pulling in 327 million minutes of viewing for Netflix. In the Movies chart, the Netflix original sci fi film Stowaway took the Number 1 slot with 359 million minutes of viewing. And Thunder Force continued to perform well for Netflix at the Number 2 slot with 318 million minutes of viewing. You can see the full rankings at this link.
The Nielsen Streaming Ratings rank the shows/movies on Netflix, Amazon, Disney+, and Hulu based on the number of minutes watched during the week by U.S. viewers on television sets (mobile devices are not included at this point). The numbers are extrapolated based on the Nielsen sampling of families who have meters monitoring their viewing habits. Also note, shows with more episodes available will tend to have a higher number of minutes watched.
