From Suits to Ted Lasso, here are the most viewed streaming shows of 2023
Did you know Americans streamed 21 million years’ worth of video in 2023? As per a report on Nielsen.com, the last year was led by Suits which topped the Top 10 most streamed programs of 2023.
Going by the same portal’s Streaming Unwrapped report, there was a dearth of new content for the audience owing to the writer and actor strikes in Hollywood last year. From Suits and Ted Lasso to Moana, here’s what people enjoyed and streamed the most.
Suits- top streamed program of 2023
Suits is currently ruling Nielsen’s Top 10 most streamed programs of 2023, with a total of 57.7 billion minutes viewed. The legal drama, now available on Netflix and Peacock after originally airing on USA Network, is said to surpass the previous record of 57.1 billion viewing minutes (in 2020) by The Office.
Coming in second place in the category is the kids show, Bluey on Disney+. It generated 43.9 billion minutes watched, followed by NCIS with 39.4 billion minutes watched, Grey’s Anatomy with 38.6 billion minutes watched and Cocomelon with 36.3 billion minutes watched. Notably, 7 of the top 10 shows are streaming on Netflix.
Ted Lasso- top original streaming program of 2023
In the category of Top Ten Original Streaming Programs, Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso became the most-watched title with 16.9 billion minutes watched. The report suggested that the show benefitted from ‘the buildup to the assumed final season.’ Reportedly, ‘the progressive lengthening of each episode’ also added in favour of the show.
In second place is Netflix’s The Night Agent, followed by Ginny & Georgia with 14.4 billion and 13.8 billion minutes watched, respectively.
