Streaming Ratings: ‘The Boys,’ ‘House of the Dragon’ Return to Charts
With the start of new seasons, both The Boys and House of the Dragon returned to Nielsen’s streaming charts for the week of June 10-16. Neither one could reach the heights of Bridgerton, however, as the Netflix drama zoomed back to the No. 1 overall spot with the release of season three’s second half.
Bridgerton amassed 3.47 billion minutes of viewing for the week — the biggest single-week total for any show so far this year, beating the 3.04 billion for Fool Me Once in early January. Almost 2.5 billion of Bridgerton’s minutes, or more than 70 percent of the total, were for the four episodes that premiered June 13.

The Boys also opened its fourth season on Prime Video on June 13, and the show grabbed 1.19 billion minutes of watch time for the week (including viewing of previous seasons). That’s the largest one-week total for the show since Nielsen began releasing weekly streaming totals in 2020.
House of the Dragon, meanwhile, racked up 741 million minutes of viewing on Max for the week — including 220 million for the season two premiere on June 16, which had only a few hours’ worth of measurement before Nielsen closed the books on the week. (Streaming figures don’t include viewing on HBO’s cable channel.)
Six titles cracked the billion-minute mark for the week, marking just the sixth time that’s happened since Nielsen began collecting streaming data. In addition to Bridgerton and The Boys, they were the previous week’s leader, Your Honor (1.89 billion minutes), Bluey (1.16 billion), Netflix’s movie Hit Man (1.06 billion) and Grey’s Anatomy (1.02 billion).
Nielsen’s streaming ratings cover viewing on TV sets only and don’t include minutes watched on computers or mobile devices. The ratings only measure U.S. audiences, not those in other countries. The top streaming titles for June 10-16, 2024, are below.
