Streaming Ratings: ‘White Lotus’ Hits No. 1 Ahead of Season 3 Finale

Two series scored their best weekly streaming performances ever in early April, both of which came in the week leading up to their finales.

The White Lotus took over the No. 1 overall spot on Nielsen’s streaming charts for March 31-April 6. It recorded 1.31 billion minutes of viewing on Max for the week, including just a few hours of viewing its April 6 season finale. Paramount+’s 1923 also topped the billion-minute threshold in the week before its second season finale (which also debuted April 6), coming in at 1.06 billion minutes. Both are series highs so far for the two shows.

In between them in the overall rankings was the prior week’s leader, The Residence. The Netflix murder mystery recorded its third straight week above 1 billion minutes of watch time. Two other shows, Grey’s Anatomy (1.06 billion) and Bluey (1.01 billion), also scored a billion minutes of viewing for the week.

Netflix’s documentary series Love on the Spectrum U.S. had the highest debut of the week with 842 million minutes of viewing. The streamer’s medical drama Pulse also premiered to solid numbers, amassing 797 million minutes. Another hospital show, Max’s The Pitt, continued to grow and hit 590 million minutes (up from 518 million a week earlier) a week before its season finale. Prime Video’s The Bondsman (563 million minutes) Bosch: Legacy (470 million) also made the charts for the first time.

Netflix originals The Life List (764 million minutes) and One of Them Days (602 million) led the movie rankings.

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 March 31-April 6, 2025, are below.
