Netflix Maintains #1 Streaming Spot for 7 Weeks with Diverse Hits
24 Jul
Summary
- Netflix's "Untamed" debuts at #1, watched by 2.4M households in 4 days
- 5 different Netflix titles have held the top spot across movies and series
- HBO Max's "The Gilded Age" returns to the charts, challenging Netflix's dominance
Over the past several weeks, Netflix has been on a remarkable hot streak, maintaining its #1 position on the weekly streaming charts for 7 consecutive weeks. The platform's latest hit is the thriller mini-series "Untamed," which debuted at the top of the charts, with 2.4 million households watching the first episode in the four days following its release on July 17.
What's remarkable about Netflix's success is the breadth of titles and genres that have topped the charts. From comedy ("Madea's Destination Wedding") to action ("The Old Guard 2") to drama (series "The Waterfront"), the streaming giant has dominated the streaming landscape. With the highly anticipated returns of "Wednesday" and "Stranger Things" in the coming months, Netflix's summer reign is expected to continue.
However, Netflix's dominance is being challenged by the resurgence of HBO Max. The streamer, formerly known as Max, has seen its series "The Gilded Age" storm back onto the charts this week, landing in second place. The period drama, set in 1880s New York and starring Carrie Coon, had previously fallen off the charts after its June 22 debut, but has now regained its footing.
