Streaming Ratings: ‘The Pitt’ Hits High Mark With Season Finale

Word-of-mouth breakout The Pitt has grown steadily on the streaming charts recently, and it took another leap in the week of its season finale.

The Max series racked up 852 million minutes of viewing time for the week of April 7-13; its season one finale premiered April 10. That’s a 44 percent spike on the 590 million minutes of watch time the show amassed a week earlier and among the best showings in Nielsen’s streaming rankings ever for a Max original series.

Max also had the No. 1 overall series for the week with The White Lotus, which drew 1.25 billion minutes the week after its season three finale (Nielsen considers it an acquired series as it also airs on HBO). That’s the second-highest mark to date for The White Lotus, behind only the prior weeks 1.31 billion minutes. Paramount+’s 1923 (949 million minutes) and Prime Video’s Reacher (579 million) also continued to hang around after their season finales — two weeks after the fact, in Reacher’s case.

Black Mirror, which debuted its seventh season on April 10, finished second overall with 1.08 billion minutes of viewing on Netflix, down some from the 1.36 billion minutes for season six’s first week in June 2023. Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale — also coming off a multi-year break — opened its final season with 921 million minutes, considerably more than the 581 million for the start of season five back in September 2022.

Prime Video’s action movie G20, starring Viola Davis, topped the movie charts for its premiere week with 516 million viewing minutes.

Nielsen’s streaming ratings cover viewing on TV sets only and don’t include minutes watched on computers or mobile devices. The ratings only measure U.S. audiences, not those in other countries. The top streaming titles for April 7-13, 2025, are below.
