Nielsen's recent data highlights the complexity of streaming viewership, revealing a significant preference for legacy shows over original content. While Bridgerton leads streaming originals with 21.42 billion minutes viewed, it falls short of becoming a top-ten performer overall. Shows like Bluey, which amassed 55.62 billion minutes, exemplify how animated series dominate viewership. The data also shows that while Netflix has solid original offerings, legacy content continues to attract the majority of viewers, indicating that familiar programming still holds strong appeal in the streaming era.
"Bridgerton topped the table of most-watched streaming originals with 21.42 billion minutes viewed in 2024, yet wouldn’t have cracked the overall top 10 list for streaming shows."
"The top spot was occupied by Bluey; viewers spent 55.62 billion minutes watching the Australian animated series, emphasizing the dominance of legacy content."
