Nielsen: Netflix’s ‘Bridgerton’ Returned Atop Weekly U.S. Household TVs Through Feb. 1

Six streaming titles exceeded the billion-minute mark across U.S. household televisions during the week ended Feb. 1 — the most in a single week since the July 13, 2025, according to new Nielsen data.

The new season of Netflix’s “Bridgerton” racked up 3.03 billion viewing minutes to rank No. 1 overall. Netflix released the first four episodes of the fourth season on Jan. 29. While the viewing total is based on all available episodes (28), the four new additions contributed 74% of the viewership total. Adult women (18+) were the biggest drivers of viewership, accounting for 72% of total watch time.

Prime Video owned three titles on the charts this interval. The action-comedy film The Wrecking Crew topped the movie chart with 1.26 billion minutes and placed No. 3 overall. The original series “Fallout” trailed at No. 5 overall with 1.1 billion minutes (No. 4 original), having added the penultimate episode of its second season Jan. 27. The sci-fi series consistently draws the largest share of 18-49 year-old viewers among top 10 originals, representing 61% of its audience for the week.

Lastly, Prime Video’s British series “Steal” made the originals chart at No. 10 with 378 million minutes.

Disney+ released all eight episodes of its newest Marvel series “Wonder Man” Jan. 27. The series drew 618 million minutes in its opening week to place No. 8 on the originals chart. About 41% of the show’s viewing total came from adults 35-49, more than any other top 10 title for the week. The series also led originals in the concentration of black viewers (33%).

HBO Max’s “The Pitt” reached yet another weekly high with 1.21 billion minutes, landing at No. 3 among originals and No. 4 overall (also its highest placements to date).

The Peacock original series “The Traitors” (811 million minutes, No. 7 originals) landed on the originals chart for the fourth-consecutive week. The competition show captured a large contingent of 18- to 34-year-old viewers, which represented 33% of its audience.

The catalog cop drama “Rizzoli & Isles” generated 1.02 billion minutes to top the acquired chart (No. 6 overall) as the series continues to reap the benefits of streaming on Netflix.

New among top 10 movies was the unrated version of the sci-fi horror film M3GAN 2.0 (483 million minutes, No. 3) on Netflix, and the documentary Secret Mall Apartment (288 million minutes, No. 6), also on Netflix.

Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters notably made its 31st appearance on the movie chart since being released in June 2025.
