The top spot, however, still belonged to Stranger Things in the week of Jan. 5-11. The Pitt recorded 939 million minutes of viewing for the week on HBO Max (season two premiered Jan. 8), 10 percent higher than its previous best of 852 million for the week of the season one finale in April 2025. The show returned to the charts the previous week as viewers seemingly caught up on the first season.

It came in just behind Landman (1.43 billion minutes on Paramount+), which ran its streak of billon-minute weeks to eight. Stranger Things cooled down a week after its record-setting performance for the debut of the series finale, but it still posted a huge 3.2 billion minutes of watch time. That would have ranked among the top 10 largest weeks for any series in 2025. The Traitors began its fourth season on Peacock with 790 million minutes of viewing, a series high - and significantly more than a preliminary tally of 638 million minutes. Prime Video's Beast Games began its second season with 417 million viewing minutes, improving on its series premiere in late 2024 (which didn't make the top 10 original shows list in its first week). The limited series 11.22.63 (848 million minutes) got a Netflix bump after being added to the service on Jan. 7. The show, based on a Stephen King novel, originally streamed on Hulu but left that platform last year. Former NBC show Found (also 848 million minutes) hit the charts with a Netflix addition as well; it also streams on Peacock. People We Meet on Vacation, Netflix's rom-com based on the best-selling novel by Emily Henry, led the top 10 movies with 549 million minutes of watch time. Nielsen's streaming ratings cover viewing on TV sets only and don't include minutes watched on computers or mobile devices. The ratings only measure U.S. audiences, not those in other countries. The top streaming titles for Jan. 5-11, 2026, are below. THR Newsletters Sign up for THR news straight to your inbox every day Subscribe Sign Up Warner Bros.
