The Boroughs, canceled by Netflix in mid-June, continues to rack up big numbers in Nielsen’s lagging U.S. streaming ratings.
After debuting at No. 2 overall the previous week, The Boroughs rose to the top spot for May 25-31 with 1.74 billion minutes of viewing time. The show grew by about 45 percent week to week, with the largest cohort of viewers falling in the over-50 demographic — not a huge surprise for a show set in a retirement community.
Spider-Noir, starring Nicolas Cage, finished second among original series with 851 million minutes for its premiere week on Prime Video. Euphoria (730 million minutes) also hit a high mark on the Nielsen charts for the week leading up to its May 31 series finale.
Paramount+’s Dutton Ranch grew for the second straight week, climbing about 6 percent to 782 million viewing minutes. Netflix’s The Four Seasons returned to the charts the week of its season two premiere on Netflix, recording 759 million minutes of viewing — though that was down significantly from 1.3 billion minutes for its series debut last year. Nemesis, which was No. 1 overall a week earlier, slid down to seventh among original series with 635 million viewing minutes for Netflix. Hulu’s Handmaid’s Tale sequel The Testaments charted for the first time in the week of its finale with 377 million minutes.
Netflix’s documentary The Crash (564 million minutes) held onto the top spot among movies.
