Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which detailed a host of past and new allegations against the music-business mogul, drew 2.28 million minutes of viewing in the United States from Dec. 1-7. In most weeks of 2025, that would have led the Nielsen streaming charts, but The Reckoning came in second place overall behind Stranger Things. The first half of the latter show's fifth and final season fell off from a record-shattering premiere week, but Stranger Things still recorded 4.38 billion minutes of watch time, the third highest weekly total for any title of 2025. Only the previous week for Stranger Things (8.46 billion minutes) and Squid Game in early January (4.6 billion) recorded more viewing in a single week.

Netflix's western The Abandons debuted with 623 million viewing minutes, making it the top new scripted series of the week. The movie chart was dominated by holiday titles, with 2000's How the Grinch Stole Christmas (603 million minutes on Peacock) leading the way. 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.
