Streaming Ratings: ‘Black Mirror’ Takes Over No. 1, ‘The Last of Us’ Returns to Charts

Netflix’s Black Mirror scored its highest weekly viewing total ever, taking over the top spot on Nielsen’s streaming charts. The Last of Us also rejoined the rankings following its season two premiere.

Black Mirror snagged about 1.58 billion minutes of viewing time for the week of April 14-20, narrowly beating a week in June 2023 (1.55 billion) for its best weekly showing so far in Nielsen’s streaming charts. It moved up from second place a week earlier.

Netflix also had the biggest debut of the week with its western drama Ransom Canyon, which premiered to 1.12 billion viewing minutes. The Last of Us delivered 805 million minutes on Max for the week following its April 13 season premiere (not including any linear viewing on HBO), in line with the 837 million minutes for the week after its series debut in January 2023.

The Wheel of Time (427 million minutes) re-entered the original series rankings for the week of its third season finale on Prime Video. Three shows — The White Lotus (691 million minutes on Max), The Pitt (568 million on Max) and Reacher (400 million on Prime Video) — continued to hold on a week or more after their respective finales. The Residence (510 million minutes) also showed staying power for Netflix, charting for a fifth straight week, while MobLand (385 million minutes) made its first appearance following the debut of its fourth episode on Paramount+.
