Nielsen: Netflix’s ‘His & Hers’ Ended ‘Stranger Things’ Reign as Most-Streamed Weekly Household TV Content Through Jan. 18

The Netflix mystery thriller “His & Hers” added more than 800 million minutes in its second week of availability to top Nielsen’s weekly household TV streaming charts with 2.24 billion minutes through Jan. 18.

The tally ended the nine-week No. 1 reign of Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” which added  1.9 billion minutes across 42 episodes at No. 2 overall.

The season two finale of Paramount+’s “Landman” pushed the Billy Bob Thornton-starrer to a new weekly high of 1.77 billion minutes. About 35% of total viewing went to the final episode, and 60% went to the finale and previous episode. Over the course of the 10-week run, “Landman” tallied 10.3 billion minutes, averaging roughly a billion minutes per episode.

Topping the movie chart and No. 4 overall was the Netflix crime thriller The Rip. The Matt Damon and Ben Affleck feature premiered on Jan. 16 and drew 1.39 billion minutes over its opening weekend to become the first feature to cross the billion minute threshold in 2026. Audience-wise, the movie skewed slightly male (51%) and over-indexed the TV population among both Hispanic (26%) and Black (18%) viewers.

HBO Max’s “The Pitt” added 1.16 billion minutes, ranking No. 4 among originals and No. 5 overall. Women 18+ have played a big role in the show’s success, and accounted for 58% of watch time this week.

Two new episodes of Peacock’s “The Traitors” helped drive viewing up 13% to 892 million minutes (No. 6 original, No. 8 overall). Prime Video’s “Fallout” added 844 million minutes (No. 7 original, No. 9 overall), with the highest concentration of men 18-34 (18%) of any original title.

The Hulu original drama “Tell Me Lies” returned for its third season on Jan. 13, totaling 391 million minutes across 21 episodes to rank No. 8 on the  originals chart, with 47% of viewers in the 18-34 demo.

The acquired charts saw the addition of the first five seasons of the animated superhero series “Teen Titans Go!” on Netflix, which promptly added 600 million minutes to rank No. 10. The show had the highest concentration of teen viewers (18%) across the top 10.

Finally, Netflix released the behind-the-scenes documentary One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5, which ranked No. 4 among movies with 307 million minutes. Netflix’s People We Meet On Vacation was up 13% from its opening weekend with 618 million minutes in its first full week of availability (No. 2 on the movie chart).
