Week of March 28 Nielsen Streaming Ratings: Netflix’s Bridgerton Tops 3 Billion Minutes

By Jessica Lerner 

The Shonda Rhimes-created Netflix series Bridgerton retains the top spot on Nielsen’s Top 10 Streaming Program and Top 10 Streaming Original Program charts, amassing 3.2 billion streaming minutes viewed during the week of March 28. Disney+’s animated musical fantasy-comedy Encanto is still a fan favorite–even if we don’t talk about Bruno–coming in at No. 2 on the Top 10 Streaming chart and claiming the No.1 spot on the Top 10 Streaming Movies chart with 744 million minutes.

Netflix dominated the Top 10 charts per usual, claiming eight spots in for the Top 10 Streaming Original Programs. Following Bridgerton’s earth-shattering 3-billion-plus streaming minutes viewed, British historical drama The Last Kingdom (714 million minutes) and game show style cooking competition Is It Cake? (607 million minutes), both on Netflix, were second and third, respectively

In Streaming Acquired Programming, police procedural NCIS topped the chart with 653 million viewing minutes, followed by animated kids show Cocomelon (634 million minutes) and crime drama Criminal Minds (555 million minutes).
