Reacher Season 4 Dominates Streaming Charts

The fourth season of Reacher has muscled its way back to the top of streaming charts, drawing 1.5 billion minutes of viewing time in the week of Aug. 10-16. While the total viewing minutes encompass all seasons, Prime Video noted that 79 percent of this time, approximately 1.19 billion minutes, was dedicated specifically to the three new episodes of the latest season that premiered on Aug. 12.

Although the opening week for Reacher season four did not quite reach the heights of prior seasons, which garnered between 1.69 billion and 1.84 billion minutes, it still represents the show's fifth best performance ever in Nielsen rankings. This demonstrates sustained audience engagement with the series.

Other shows also saw significant viewership. Apple TV's Ted Lasso and Paramount+'s Lioness each improved week over week, nearing one billion viewing minutes. Lioness achieved its highest weekly total to date. Netflix's YA series My Life With the Walter Boys also experienced growth after its season premiere.

In the acquired series category, The Big Bang Theory continued its strong run with over a billion viewing minutes for the fifth consecutive week. The Simpsons also made a notable appearance in the top 10 after a long absence. This performance was measured for TV sets only within the U.S. audience.
