Sterling K. Brown's 'Paradise' Soars on Streaming Charts

Hulu's "Paradise" has achieved a significant milestone, landing at No. 5 on the Nielsen streaming charts for the week of February 23-March 1. The Sterling K. Brown-led thriller garnered a series-high 950 million minutes across its 12 episodes. The recent debut of Season 2 on February 23 directly fueled this surge, with the initial three episodes of the new season accounting for 60% of the total viewing time.

However, "Paradise" was outshone by Netflix's "Bridgerton," which claimed the top spot with a massive 3.37 billion minutes streamed over 32 episodes. The release of Part 2 of Season 4 on February 26 was the primary driver, with these four episodes alone making up 76% of the show's viewership. "Bridgerton" proved particularly popular among young women, with those aged 18 to 49 comprising 43% of its total streaming audience.
