Prime Video’s Carrie secured the top position among streaming titles in the United States for the week of Oct. 5-11, generating 1.26 billion viewing minutes following its premiere on Oct. 7. The eight-episode season, a contemporary adaptation of Stephen King’s novel developed by showrunner Mike Flanagan, achieved the ranking ahead of a second season renewal announced by the platform earlier in the week.
Netflix’s Below placed second in the overall rankings with 1.19 billion minutes of viewing, while East of Eden claimed third place with 1.16 billion minutes after increasing its viewership by 49 percent week to week. Wonka’s The Golden Ticket, which had led the previous week’s rankings, experienced a significant decline of 44 percent to 600 million minutes and dropped from the overall top 10, though it remained sixth among original series.
Apple TV’s Ted Lasso registered 943 million minutes and reached a six-week high, coinciding with its season four finale on Oct. 7. Two licensed titles saw increased engagement following Netflix deals: Paramount+’s Mayor of Kingstown accumulated 712 million minutes, while Disney+’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians generated 365 million minutes. Netflix’s original film Animals, which premiered Oct. 9, led the movie rankings with 719 million minutes.
Prime Video has maintained strong performance in recent weeks, holding the No. 1 overall title six times across the past eight weeks of Nielsen’s streaming metrics. The service’s success has been driven by titles including Reacher, which topped ratings four times in August and September before being surpassed by spinoff Neagley in the week of Sept. 14-20.
Nielsen’s streaming ratings measure viewing on television sets within the United States only and do not include minutes watched on computers or mobile devices.
