Netflix Hit Tops Charts With 1.84 Billion Minutes

Netflix's new series, 'I Will Find You,' based on a Harlan Coben novel, has made a significant impact, dominating the streaming landscape. In its debut week, from June 15 to June 21, it captured an astounding 1.84 billion minutes of viewing time in the United States, according to Nielsen's ratings.

This performance placed 'I Will Find You' firmly at the No. 1 spot for the week. It was joined by Peacock's 'Love Island USA' as the only two titles to break the one billion minute viewing threshold. 'Love Island USA' recorded 1.69 billion minutes, a slight decrease from the previous week.

The charts also saw the return of HBO's 'House of the Dragon' for its third season premiere. Despite limited availability, the premiere alone contributed a substantial portion of its 636 million total minutes watched. Apple TV+'s 'Widow's Bay' also made its debut, finishing eighth in original series viewership with 415 million minutes.

Among movies, Netflix's documentary 'Maternal Instinct' led the pack with 987 million minutes of viewing. Nielsen's streaming ratings are limited to TV set viewership within the U.S. and do not encompass mobile or computer viewing.
