What’s Trending on Streaming: Daily Trending Lists for Hulu, Disney+, Peacock, Paramount+ and Max from January 12-January 18

It's been another busy week on streaming, with several of last week's new entires continuing to make their marks and many of them looking more impressive as time went on, while several streamers saw new series and welcomed back returning favorites.

Hulu:

High Potential continued to live up to its title this week. The Kaitlin Olson procedural has long been noted for its strength on Hulu, and this week showed exactly why. It led the chart for four days overall this week,  and remained in the top five the entire week, one of just two shows to accomplish this. The other was Shifting Gears, which did not hit #1 on Hulu this week, but was still a consistently-strong performer on the chart. After a decent, if unexciting, debut last week, Fox's newest drama Doc saw its momentum in linear ratings translate to momentum on Hulu, hitting #1 on Thursday, blocking the ABC Tuesday dramas on the same day where they went 1-2-3 last week. Doc also held in the top ten all week, one of the best performances we've seen from a Fox show this season on Hulu, up there with 9-1-1: Lone Star. Abbott Elementary returned to #1 on Friday, pulling ahead of fellow Wednesday comedy Shifting Gears, and trended throughout the week. Hell's Kitchen was often toward the bottom half of the chart, but Saturday saw a big rise to #1 on the chart overall. In terms of ABC shows that missed out on #1, The Rookie saw clear slippage on Hulu, but remained solid. It peaked at #3 this week after several days at #1 last week, and hit a low of #10 on Saturday. That was a notch above Will Trent. While the show remains a top performer for ABC in linear, its Hulu performance is the weakest of the Tuesday dramas, peaking at #5 this week. It charted around there for most of the week, but like The Rookie and even High Potential, it declined on Friday and Saturday, dropping to #12. That was still far stronger than the network's reality entries, with Celebrity Jeopardy! charting for just a day at #12, while Extreme Makeover: Home Edition peaked at #13, charting three days in all this week. 20/20 charted four times (with a special edition about the LA fires charting once), despite not airing in a few weeks. Daytime soap General Hospital looked solid again, peaking at #4 and charting five days in all. The View, Good Morning America and ABC World News Tonight all charted for several days each. What Would You Do? was the only show missing entirely this week, which is par for the course for the show. Outside of their two chart-topping shows, Fox also had Special Forces, which charted shockingly well, starting the week at #13 and rising as the week went on, even though a new episode wasn't added until Thursday. It peaked at #6 for the week. That's better than several of their scripted entries, with Animal Control only charting three times this week, peaking at #9. Going Dutch remained a poor streaming performer, only barely sneaking onto the chart at #15 once on Saturday and making no other appearances besides that one. Kitchen Nightmares was no Hell's Kitchen, but still charted well enough, peaking at #3. Both it and Doc appear to be stronger on Hulu than Fox's fall Tuesday lineup of Murder in a Small Town and Accused. Disney+ show Goosebumps started the week off strong, but slid down the chart on Friday and was gone on Saturday.

Disney+:

This was a big week for TV on Disney+. For the first week in recent memory, TV shows led the Disney+ chart for the entire week. Goosebumps, which was released at the end of last week, rose to #1 on Sunday and stayed there for three days. It remained in the top three the next three days, and then dropped to #4 on Saturday. Given that its full season was released on January 10, it feels unlikely we'll see it rise to the top of the heap again, but this is a fairly impressive performance regardless. Star Wars: Skeleton Crew was the next show to hit #1, doing so for two days during the week of its season finale. The series charted at #6 at the start of the week, and was down to #5 a few days after its finale was released. Tim Allen's ABC sitcom Shifting Gears also went to #1 on Disney+ again this week, as it continued to set itself apart from the other ABC shows in terms of Disney+ performance. It was consistently in the top three all week, the only entry on the Disney+ chart that can say that this week. Fellow ABC series High Potential charted twice this week. A Real Bug's Life, a nature docuseries from National Geographic, was a surprisingly strong entry, first charting at #9 the day before the release of its second season, and then returning to the list a few days later at #5. It dropped to #7 the day after that, and then to #10 the day after that. While it doesn't look likely to be on the chart long-term, it's a decent start for one of Disney+'s unscripted shows, which rarely chart at all. Dream Productions remained on the chart, with six appearances in all. Movies also made up a large portion of the chart, with Deadpool & Wolverine and the 2019 remake of The Lion King being the strongest films, while Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Avengers: Endgame, Fall, 65, and Oscar contender A Real Pain were among the films to chart multiple days this week.

Peacock:

NBC continued to debut its winter series, bringing back the Thursday lineup after months of the air. That was big news for Peacock, as SVU returned to #1 after months off the top spot. While the show didn't air a new episode until Thursday, anticipation was building up even before that, and the show spent much of the week leading up to its return at #2. Its lead-in, Law & Order, was far weaker, only managing a single appearance on Saturday at #10. Lead-out Found, however, was entirely MIA. SVU didn't have an easy path to #1, though, as The Office remained a dominant force on Peacock, topping the chart three times and never dropping below third. Reality hit The Traitors also get it a hard time, having topped the chart three times in the last week. Like SVU and The Office, #3 was the low point for The Traitors this week. The Chicagos did not air this week, but  they were consistently in the middle of the chart. The first four days of the week, they were 4-5-6 on the chart, PD in the lead, Fire just behind, and Med just behind that. They all dropped one slot each on Thursday, and stayed 5-6-7 on the chart after that. This is a bit weaker than we saw from the Chicagos in the fall, but they're still among the top performers on Peacock among the NBC shows. In fact, besides SVU and L&O, they were the only NBC shows to chart this week. In addition to Found, we had Happy's Place, Lopez vs Lopez, St. Denis Medical, Night Court, Deal Or No Deal Island and The Irrational, all failing to gain any traction on Peacock this week. There weren't any major new entries this week, though we did have a documentary series about the history of SNL, called Beyond Saturday Night, entering on Saturday at #8, in celebration of the show's 50th anniversary. Several Bravo shows charted this week, though their presence was slightly diminished from previous weeks. Multiple shows from the Real Housewives franchise, as well as Southern Charm and Below Deck Sailing Yacht, all made the chart.

Paramount+:

It was business as usual for Paramount+ this week, with Landman once again leading the chart every day. The Billy Bob Thornton drama, which ended its first season this week, remains a massive draw on Paramount+. Taylor Sheridan's other two shows, both having long wrapped their second seasons at this point, also stayed on the chart. Lioness peaked at #2, but was mostly towards the middle of the pack, between fourth and sixth. Tulsa King, which ended all the way before Thanksgiving, saw a bit of slippage this week, peaking at #4 and going as low as #9. Considering how long ago it last aired, its consistent presence on the chart is still impressive. The only ongoing CBS series to chart every day was NCIS. The Neighborhood dropped off the chart entirely this week, which is fairly unusual for it. Poppa's House, NCIS: Origins, the FBI dramas, Georgie & Mandy and the Thursday dramas, the Sunday dramas, Fire Country and SWAT were also entirely MIA, though that's not unusual for most of them. New game show Hollywood Squares failed to chart, though that's not much of a surprise, while Raid the Cage and The Price Is Right At Night also failed to crack the top ten. Ghosts was the only other ongoing CBS show to chart, with four appearances in all, while the recently-ended Blue Bloods charted through the week. Dexter and SpongeBob were consistently on the chart, though Dexter's prequel/spinoff Original Sin didn't chart this time around. There was one new entry this week - FBI True. The series, known to CBS viewers as a temporary schedule filler during the fall that was impacted by the WGA and SAG strikes, entered strong at #2, and charted four days in all. It was far from a powerhouse, but it was a very rare - and needed - new entry for Paramount+ this week.

Max:

Max's newest original series, The Pitt, was certainly not in the pits this week. It was a clean sweep for the medical drama, leading the chart from the very start of the week and never letting go. It's the first time we've seen a Max original chart this strong, as HBO's tentpole series tended to reliably be the strongest programs on the service. With no ongoing scripted series on HBO, the lane has opened up for The Pitt to establish itself as Max's current #1 draw. It wasn't the only Max original to have a strong showing this week. Though it didn't hit #1, as it regularly had been doing, The Sex Lives of College Girls remained a very solid entry for Max, ranking #2 on the service four times in the last week, and #4 the other three days. It was easily the most consistent Max original outside of The Pitt, with the others moving up and down the list far more frequently. One such show was Creature Commandos. The DC animated series ended its season last wee, so it was a slow decline on the chart this week. It started out at #3, was down to #8 by Thursday, and then disappeared from the chart entirely on Friday. That being said, its disappearance from the chart was much less concerning than that of Harley Quinn, DC's other animated comedy. Harley Quinn premiered its season on January 16, and entered the chart the next day at #6. Its stay on the chart was short-lived, at least so far. It dropped off the list entirely on Saturday, apparently being out-streamed by several reality shows and even The West Wing, which made its third appearance of the week on Saturday's chart. Chuck Lorre's Bookie was all over the list this week, starting the week in the middle of the chart at #5, sliding down to #9 at its lowest point, and peaking at #3 on Saturday. Hacks, which hasn't released a new episode since May 2024, saw renewed interest following its Golden Globe wins, and charted the first three days of the week. Though scripted shows are still MIA on HBO for the time being, the premium cable network was not MIA. Hard Knocks remained a solid performer in its final week of this "In Season" edition, though with five appearances, it was its weakest performance of the season. An Update on Our Family, a new HBO documentary miniseries, entered the chart this week and peaked at #5. Several TLC series also entered the chart this week, with new series Baylen Out Loud charting since its premiere and also peaking at #5. The Curious Case Of..., an ID true crime series, was another new entry this week, and it entered very strong, going straight to #2. It hasn't dropped below #4 yet, an above-average performance for a show from one of Discovery's unscripted networks.
