Inside Out 2 soared onto the Nielsen streaming charts after making its Disney+ debut in September, but it couldn’t quite beat Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.
The sequel to Pixar’s animated hit took second place from September 23 to 29, racking up 1.8B minutes viewed in just a few days, after premiering on the streaming service on Sept. 25.
According to Nielsen, 42% of the audience came from the 2-11 age range, but 41% came from adults 18-49 — suggesting that co-viewing, naturally, was big for this title. But, this also suggests that, nearly a decade after the first film, Inside Out 2 is attracting some young adults who would’ve been the target demo when the original was released (with or without kids of their own).
Meanwhile, Murphy’s latest crime drama outing saw a 40% increase in viewership week-over-week, easily securing the No. 1 spot with 2.4B minutes viewed. Nielsen points out...

Netflix’s Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story led Nielsen’s streaming charts for a second straight week — and grew substantially from its debut.
The Ryan Murphy-produced series was the top title for the week of Sept. 23-29 with just under 2.4 billion minutes of viewing time. That’s a 40 percent improvement on the drama’s opening week (it premiered Sept. 19), which had 1.72 billion minutes of watch time, and the highest total for any streaming series in Nielsen’s rankings since Bridgerton hit 2.47 billion minutes in June.

Eva Mendes says the only way that she could be convinced to return to acting is if it’s alongside her husband Ryan Gosling.
It’s been a decade since Mendes stepped away from acting. Her last role was a small part in Gosling’s feature directorial debut Lost River. The actress’ last credit, though, was lending her voice to a 2021 episode of Bluey.
“I was never in love with acting. I don’t mean this in a self-deprecating way, but I wasn’t a great actress. I had my moments when I worked with really great people,” she said in an interview with the U.K.’s Sunday Times.
Mendes says her best work was opposite Gosling in films like Lost River and The Place Beyond the Pines, which is the 2012 film where they first met.
“He gets something out of me that’s never been accessible before,” she said.

Eva Mendes admitted in an interview with The Sunday Times that she was “never in love with acting,” so there’s no real urgency to ending her 10-years and counting break from it. The actor has not starred in a feature film since a small supporting role in partner Ryan Gosling‘s 2014 directorial effort “Lost River,” although she lent her voice on a 2021 episode of “Bluey” on ABC Kids.
“I was never in love with acting. I don’t mean this in a self-deprecating way, but I wasn’t a great actress,” Mendes said. “I had my moments when I worked with really great people.”
As far as Mendez sees it, her best acting work came when she was starring opposite Gosling in 2012’s crime drama “The Place Beyond on the Pines” or when he was directing her in “Lost River.” She said: “He gets something out of me that’s never been accessible before.

Nielsen’s monthly Gauge report shows that streamers are increasingly comfortable with cross-platform sports offerings.
There’s a decided trend appearing in the monthly Nielsen report dubbed “The Gauge.” The data clearly shows that streaming is continuing to eat up a larger and larger share of total TV viewing, even during months that are traditionally strong for broadcast and cable TV. September is usually one of those months thanks to the return of college and professional football, but in 2024, streaming had a strong showing during the month, led by record-setting viewership by Disney+ and Prime Video.
Key Details: Prime Video accounted for 3.6% of total TV viewing, bolstered by “Thursday Night Football” and “The Rings of Power.” Disney+ rose to a record 2.5% of all TV watched thanks to Hulu titles and “Bluey.” Streaming usage has climbed 11% on a year-over-year basis. 30-Day Free Trial $8.99+ / month amazon.com

Amazon Prime Video benefited significantly from the launch of the NFL season, with the streamer matching its best-ever share of overall TV viewership in September.
Per Nielsen data, Amazon received a 12% bump in streaming viewership from August, leading the streamer to match its platform-best share of overall TV viewership of 3.6%. The increase was driven largely by “Thursday Night Football” as well as the debut of Season 2 of “The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power,” which was this month’s third most watched streaming title with 4.3 billion viewing minutes.
The NFL also boosted Peacock, which exclusively aired the Green Bay Packers vs. Philadelphia Eagles game on Sept. 6. That game, played in São Paulo, Brazil, notched 2.6 billion viewing minutes and was the 11th most streamed program in September.

Despite the challenges of entering a competitive market like the U.S., where audiences are accustomed to local content, Australian TV shows have been relatively successful. Beyond the well-known success of the hit children’s show “Bluey,” the most popular Australian show globally, the rising popularity of reality shows from Australia is also surprising and may indicate some untapped opportunities for streaming platforms to license content.
Among English-speaking countries, Australia is the third-largest exporter of TV shows to the U.S. in terms of demand, behind the United Kingdom and Canada, and ranks seventh overall. But when it comes to reality TV, Australia is the second most popular country of origin, trailing only the United Kingdom, as of the third quarter of 2024. Reality shows from Australia had a higher demand share than any other major country in the U.S. market, with 28.3% of the total demand for Australian shows coming from this genre.

The animated series showcases a stellar cast of voice talents, including Andre Robinson, Lyric Lewis, Reid Scott, Rhys Darby, James Marsters, Rhea Perlman, Phylicia Rashad, and the legendary Robert Englund.
Curses! follows the story of Pandora (voiced by Nevaeh), Russ, and Sky Vanderhouven, a family burdened by a curse brought on by their ancestors’ reckless looting of ancient artefacts from around the world. In Season 1, the family embarked on an adventure to reverse the curse that had turned Alex, the father, to stone. As Season 2 begins, Alex is back with his family, but something about him seems off. As the Vanderhouven family works to repair the damage caused by their ancestors’ greed, they find themselves facing new challenges—both on the road and within the eerie walls of Briarstone Manor.

As the Vanderhouven family works to repair the damage caused by their ancestors’ greed, they find themselves facing new challenges—both on the road and within the eerie walls of Briarstone Manor.

The Perfect Couple shot to the top overall spot in Nielsen’s streaming rankings for its premiere week.
The murder mystery limited series, which stars Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber and Dakota Fanning, accumulated 1.91 billion minutes of viewing for the week of Sept. 2-8 (it premiered on Sept. 5).

The Perfect Couple was one of five titles to record more than a billion minutes of viewing for the week. The others are Netflix’s movie Rebel Ridge (1.11 billion), Family Guy (1.06 billion), Prison Break (1.05 billion) — which had been the overall No. 1 for the previous four weeks — and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (1.02 billion), which was even with its season two premiere a week earlier.

There’s a lot of promise in the idea of a musical starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga playing the Joker and Harley Quinn, especially in the latter being portrayed as the ultimate unstable fangirl, and giving Arthur Fleck something to hope for as he goes on trial for the murders committed in Joker. Imagine what John Waters or Paul Thomas Anderson would do with that premise. Hell, we don’t even have to imagine an animated take, as Joker: Folie à Deux’s one true masterstroke of sinister, madcap joy is starting with a short recap of Arthur Fleck’s story created by The Triplets of Belleville director Sylvain Chomet.
When that short is over, though, we get the Todd Phillips version, which is largely anchored to stone-faced reality for 130-plus excruciatingly withholding minutes. In grappling with the implications of its story, Folie à Deux’s every attempt at showcasing cleverness,...

“Agatha All Along” has whipped up some impressive viewership in its first week on Disney+.
The Marvel TV series’ premiere episode has logged 9.3 million views globally on Disney+ within the first seven days of its release, according to internal Disney viewing data. Disney defines a view as total stream time divided by runtime.
While “Agatha All Along” kicked off to a relatively strong start, its viewership has already been exceeded by the “The Acolyte,” whose premiere episode reached 11.1 million views within its first five days of streaming on Disney+.
After the “Star Wars” spinoff series logged 4.8 million views on Disney+ within its first day of the streamer, its five-day viewership enabled “The Acolyte” to maintain its place as the streamer’s most-watched series premiere in 2024, though it was ultimately canceled.

The second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power opened to big viewing numbers in the United States — just not as big as its first season.
The Prime Video series amassed 1.02 billion minutes of viewing in the United States for the week of Aug. 26-Sept. 1, good for first place among original series and second among all titles in Nielsen’s streaming rankings.

Exclusive: The BBC is re-shuffling its kids content teams as part of plans to boost brands and better serve young audiences.
Under changes announced internally on Wednesday, the BBC is moving children’s news show Newsround to its news division and beefing up pre-school brand Cbeebies, which is home to hits including Hey Duggee and Bluey.
Cbbc was conspicuously absent from the restructure. The BBC is slowly winding down the TV network and putting a greater emphasis on iPlayer content for children over the age of seven.
Newsround has long been housed under the BBC’s children’s content unit, but the production team and editor Lewis James will now sit under BBC News.
The Newsround switch is not expected to result in any significant editorial changes, but the plan is to amplify its output and better integrate the team into the wider BBC newsroom culture.

AMC made a bet earlier this year that licensing a number of its shows to Netflix would help them find more viewers. That bet appears to have paid off.
Two AMC shows, Dark Winds and A Discovery of Witches, are among the top 10 streaming titles for the week of Aug. 19-25. They were added to Netflix at the beginning of that week as part of a deal struck in July to place about a dozen AMC shows on the service, complete with branding as the “AMC Collection.” (The shows will be available for 12 months.)
It’s not new territory for AMC, which partially credited Netflix for a huge spike in ratings for Breaking Bad’s final season and has also licensed The Walking Dead and Better Call Saul, among others, to the streamer in the past.
Dark Winds drew 929 million minutes of viewing for the week, good for fourth place overall.

According to Nielsen, Hispanic viewers accounted for nearly a third of Prison Break‘s audience during this interval, as the company says that demo is a “major driver” of the show’s viewership.
The overall list had a refreshing amount of streaming original content due in part to the fact that, as Nielsen points out, the end of the Olympics brought a lull in sports, which generally does coincide with a boost in streaming.
Netflix was responsible for all four of the streaming originals on the list, starting with The Umbrella Academy in second place, tallying 1.3B minutes viewed in Season 4’s first full week on the platform. However, it did...

It was another slow week for streaming originals from August 5 to August 11, with just one making it onto Nielsen’s overall streaming list. That was Netflix’s Umbrella Academy, which racked up nearly 1.5B viewing minutes in the week of the Season 4 premiere.
This isn’t exactly surprising, as the series was already seeing a boost in viewership in anticipation of the new season the week prior. It popped on the streaming originals list at No. 8 with 287M minutes viewed.
It’s a strong performance for the Netflix series, good enough for second place, just behind Prison Break, which is the latest licensed title to find a second life on the streamer. For Umbrella Academy, it’s still a bit of a deflation compared to Season 3, which secured more than 2B minutes viewed during its debut week in 2022 despite a more competitive streaming environment, premiering on the heels of the...

We're all familiar with the Netflix Bump. It's proven beneficial to a number of fan-favorite but ratings impaired series like Riverdale, Manifest, All American and more. The streaming service has even been able to boost up shows from beyond the grave, with long-canceled or recently ended series like Suits, New Amsterdam, and Young Sheldon. Well, another series has claimed the crown.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, for the week of Aug. 5-11, Prison Break ranks as the No. 1 show across all streaming services with a whopping 1.6 billion viewing minutes via Nielsen streaming content ratings. For comparison's sake, Max's House of the Dragon, which has fewer episodes but ended its second season on Aug. 4, came in fifth that week with 935 million minutes viewed.

In its second week on Netflix, Prison Break rocketed to the top of Nielsen’s streaming rankings.
The former Fox series, which also streams on Hulu, was added to Netflix on July 29 and made its streaming chart debut that week. For the week of Aug. 5-11, it more than doubled the previous frame’s viewing time, rising from 758 million to 1.6 billion minutes. (Hulu, incidentally, is developing a new version of Prison Break with Mayans Mc showrunner Elgin James.)
Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy — whose final season premiered Aug. 8 — was the top original series for the week, coming in at 1.46 billion minutes of viewing. That’s a strong showing, but also down a good amount from the 2.45 billion minutes the show recorded the week of its season three premiere in June 2022.
The Umbrella Academy was the only original title to make the overall top 10; none did in the previous week, the...

Nielsen’s Top 10 list featured no original titles for the first time ever as audiences set their sights on the athletes competing for the gold in the 2024 Paris Olympics in the last week of July.
“This is a notable interval in streaming not because of the heights it achieved nor records it set, but because streaming levels actually decreased significantly in the face of an onslaught of Olympic programming,” the firm wrote in its report covering July 29-Aug. 4. “By comparison, the first week of July had a full slate (ten out of ten) of billion-minute titles, whereas this week featured only two. Peacock bucked the trend with an extraordinarily strong week, driven by simultaneous coverage of the Paris Games.”
