Nielsen Streaming Top 10: ‘Outer Banks’ Returns at in Second Place With 1.2 Billion Minutes Watched After Season 4 Debut
“Outer Banks” returned to Nielsen’s weekly streaming rankings in second place with 1.2 billion minutes watched from Oct. 7 to Oct. 13, during which the first five episodes of Season 4 were available for four days. The popular series will likely stick around on the chart for weeks to come, as another five episodes are set to drop on Nov. 7.
The only title to beat “Outer Banks” was “Love Is Blind,” which made its chart return the week before in third place thanks to the release of its seventh season. From Oct. 7-13, it rose slightly in viewership from 1.1 billion minutes watched to 1.2 billion minutes watched.
