Peacock’s All Her Fault saw its viewing spike in its second week, scoring the best single-week total ever for an original scripted show on the NBCUniversal streamer.
The series, starring Sarah Snook and Dakota Fanning, drew 867 million minutes of viewing for Nov. 10-16, up 92 percent from its premiere week. It ranked third among original series — and fourth overall — on Nielsen’s streaming charts for that week. All Her Fault also drew the best single-week viewing tally for a Peacock original scripted series in the service’s history, and the highest total for any Peacock show since Love Island in mid-July.
Two weeks out from its final season premiere, Stranger Things ascended to the top overall ranking, with the first four seasons amassing about 1.35 billion minutes of watch time. It grew by 46 percent week to week to a total that would be a strong showing for any series currently showing new episodes.
Netflix’s drama The Beast in Me had the best opening of the week with 952 million minutes of viewing. Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives (651 million minutes) returned to the charts with the premiere of its third season, debuting to viewing more or less in line with the first week for season two (680 million) in May.
Notably absent from the rankings is another Hulu show, All’s Fair. The streamer touted the show’s premiere the previous week, saying it drew 3.2 million views (calculated as total viewing minutes divided by running time) worldwide in three days. That works out to a little under 410 million minutes of viewing for the first three episodes (which premiered Nov. 4). Hulu didn’t break down U.S. vs. international viewing, but the show’s U.S. watch time hasn’t yet been enough to break into the Nielsen top 10. Netflix’s Death by Lightning, which was No. 10 among original series in both weeks, tallied 392 million and 425 million minutes of viewing. (Hulu has renewed All’s Fair for a second season.)
Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein led the movie charts for a second consecutive week with 1.11 billion minutes of viewing. It dropped a modest 12 percent from the previous week.
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 Nov. 10-16 are below.
