Streaming Ratings for December 8-14, 2025 Revealed
During the week of December 8-14, 2025, streaming ratings showcased significant activity in the entertainment sphere. Netflix’s “Stranger Things” maintained its position as the leading streamed title in the United States. This sci-fi phenomenon amassed a staggering 3.02 billion viewing minutes, solidifying its dominance since the premiere of its final season in late November.
New Entries and Remarkable Returns
Several noteworthy titles debuted or returned to the Nielsen charts during this week. Apple TV’s “Pluribus,” a sci-fi series created by Vince Gilligan, entered the rankings for the first time. The show, featuring Rhea Seehorn, garnered 360 million viewing minutes with the release of its seventh episode.
Additionally, “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” made a significant comeback. The series achieved 508 million viewing minutes during its second season premiere week. This impressive figure included over 264 million minutes attributed to its first two episodes, which made up about 52% of the total. The remainder of the viewing minutes resulted from audiences catching up on season one.
Returning Favorites
Another title making a return is “Mayor of Kingstown.” The Paramount+ drama co-created by Taylor Sheridan had 443 million viewing minutes. This marks its first appearance on the charts since August 2024, just before the show wrapped its fourth season in late December. It will conclude with a fifth season.
Other Strong Performers
In addition to these titles, the week also saw impressive showings from other series. “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” a docuseries on Netflix, recorded 1.6 billion viewing minutes. Meanwhile, Sheridan’s “Landman” on Paramount+ attracted 1.52 billion minutes. Lastly, the third film in the “Knives Out” series, titled “Wake Up Dead Man,” premiered with 1.31 billion minutes of viewing. While this debut did not match the 2.23 billion minutes garnered by “Glass Onion” during its opening week in 2022, it still represented a strong performance.
Nielsen’s Streaming Methods
Nielsen’s streaming ratings specifically measure viewing on television sets and exclude minutes viewed on computers or mobile devices. Additionally, these ratings focus solely on U.S. audiences, without accounting for international viewers.
