Streaming Ratings: ‘La Brea’ Gets a Netflix Bump to the Top of the Charts

Nielsen’s latest streaming rankings reveal a surprising surge for the canceled NBC drama ‘La Brea’, which vaulted to the top of the overall charts after landing on Netflix. The prehistoric survival series amassed over 1.1 billion minutes viewed in its first full week on the platform, demonstrating the continued power of catalog licensing to revive older shows.

Meanwhile, Prime Video’s ‘The Boys’ crossed the billion-minute threshold for the first time during its final season. The superhero satire’s milestone reflects growing audience engagement as the series barrels toward its conclusion, though it still trailed ‘La Brea’ in total viewing time.

Other notable performers in the weekly rankings include:

  • ‘Bluey’ (Disney+) – Continued its dominance in children’s programming with steady weekly viewing.
  • ‘Bridgerton’ (Netflix) – Maintained strong numbers despite airing weeks ago, proving enduring romance appeal.
  • ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ (Netflix) – The long-running medical drama remains a reliable streaming staple.

The data underscores a key trend: library titles like ‘La Brea’ can still generate massive viewership when placed on a major streaming service, even if they failed to find a large audience during their original broadcast run. For ‘The Boys’, the final season’s record numbers suggest a fittingly explosive send-off for the fan-favorite series.
