“Andor” Season 2 debuted to a new weekly high viewership on Nielsen’s streaming charts.
“Andor,” which premiered the first three episodes of its second and final season on April 22, logged 721 million minutes on Disney+ during the week of April 21, according to Nielsen. The viewership marked a new weekly high for the series, making “Andor” rank as the week’s No. 10 most-watched streaming TV show during the week and the No. 5 most-watched streaming original series.
Of its total viewership for the week, 65% was dedicated to Season 2 drop, while the rest caught up on the first installment of the show.
Well ahead of “Andor” was “You,” which debuted its fifth and final season on Netflix on April 24. Despite having a smaller viewing window during the interval, “You” became the most-watched streaming title overall with 1.67 billion minutes. Similar to “Andor,” 67% of that viewing total is attributed to the new season, with Season 1 generating the second-largest viewing total across the five seasons — which makes sense given that Season 5 brings the Season 1 storyline full circle.
Netflix’s “Ransom Canyon” stayed put as the No. 2 most-watched streaming title for the second consecutive week, growing its audience slightly from 1.12 billion to 1.29 billion minutes.
“The Last of Us” climbed two spots to reach the No. 3 most-watched overall title and the No. 1 most-watched acquired title as it logged 937 million viewing minutes on Max, up from last week’s viewership of 805 million viewing minutes.
Nielsen weekly charters “Bluey” and “Grey’s Anatomy” were next with 862 million viewing minutes and 850 million minutes, respectively in the No. 4 and No. 5 spots on the list, while Netflix’s “Havoc” came in the No. 6 slot with 813 million minutes, becoming the only movie to make it into the overall top 10 most-watched list.
“Havoc” led the most-watched streaming movies list, with “Conclave” in second place with 499 million minutes viewed on Prime Video as the death of Pope Francis on April 21 prompted new interest into the conclave.
