It's been another busy week on streaming, with the returns of several streaming hits and the finales of several others. Keep reading to see how the streaming charts shook out this week!
Hulu:
This week, Hulu saw the return of one of their longest-running series, as The Handmaid's Tale kicked off its sixth and final season, two and a half years after it last aired. The show remained a top entry on Hulu, charting within the top five since its debut, though it only hit #1 on the chart once this week. Good American Family topped the chart three times this week, and never dropped out of the top three, remaining the most consistently-strong show on Hulu this week. The Kardashians was the other Hulu original to top the chart this week, though it dropped much lower the rest of the week than the other #1 performers dropped. Two ABC series also topped the chart, with American Idol hitting #1 on Tuesday and 9-1-1 hitting #1 on Saturday, with both charting the entire week as well. ABC continued to have several other strong entries, as well, including The Rookie, which peaked at #2 and dropped as low as #8 this week. The Rookie had the highest low of any ABC show this week, with other hits such as 9-1-1 and Grey's Anatomy dropping well below #8 on the chart. Will Trent charted the entire week, and peaked at #4 this week. Abbott Elementary managed to hang onto the chart through the week, falling to #15 twice, and it peaked at #5. The Conners continued to underwhelm massively on Hulu, again charting just one day at #13, looking much stronger in L+SD ratings than in streaming viewing. Grey's Anatomy peaked at #2, and charted the entire week. Doctor Odyssey continued to be one of the weakest ABC scripted series on Hulu, peaking at #8 and only charting four days. 20/20 charted the same number of days, peaking at a much higher #4. Shark Tank, The $100,000 Pyramid, Bad Romance, Celebrity Jeopardy! and What Would You Do? all failed to chart this week. Daytime series General Hospital charted six days in all, peaking at #5. Fox's shows remained tepid on Hulu, with Extracted ranking as their highest-charting series, rising to #5 and charting three times. Family Guy started off their week with three chart appearances, peaking at #7. The TMZ Presents Menendez Brothers interview charted twice, peaking at #13. Alert made two appearances, peaking at #6, while lead-in The Cleaning Lady one again charted just once, charting at #9. The Floor charted twice, peaking at #7. The Masked Singer, like The Cleaning Lady, charted once, at #9. Both Fox Wednesday reality shows have performed worse thus far in the spring than they did for their fall seasons, when they often made the chart several days, and charted higher. Next Level Chef managed the most appearances of and Fox series this week, charting four times and peaking at #6. Farmer Wants a Wife continues to perform better than the sitcoms it replaced, peaking at #9 and making three chart appearances. The Simpsons, Krapopolis and The Great North were the only Fox shows that failed to chart this week. FX on Hulu series Dying for Sex struggled to make much of an impact on the chart at all. After one day on the chart at the end of last week, it stuck around for only three more days this week, at #7 for the first two days, then down to #11, and then off the chart completely. New Hulu reality-completion series Got To Get Out started its run on Friday, beginning its run at #11 on the chart on Saturday.
Disney+:
It was an extremely Goofy week on Disney+. The streamer added a new collection on their homepage devoted to one of Disney's most well-known characters - Goofy - in celebration of A Goofy Movie's 30th anniversary this week, also adding a 2024 documentary about the making of the film to the service this week. As a result, A Goofy Movie has charted for the last five days, peaking at #2 for four of those days, while the sequel, An Extremely Goofy Movie, has charted for four days, peaking at #6. The documentary, Not Just a Goof, was off the chart after three days, but also peaked at #6. Despite all that goofiness, Mufas remained the undisputed (Lion) King of Disney+ this week, once again ranking at #1 on the chart for the entire week. Other films on the chart for multiple days included Shark Tank, Jurassic Park, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip , Jumanji, and Moana 2, while the new National Geographic documentary film Pets entered the chart at #5 on Saturday. TV shows had a minimal presence on Disney+ this week, but Daredevil: Born Again consistently charted, and had the highest peak of any show, at #2. Despite dropping a new episode this week, the series often fell behind several films fro the Disney+ library, making its performance on the charts this week fairly unimpressive. The only other show to chart multiple times this week was Good American Family, which charted the entire week, consistently towards the middle of the chart. A recap of season of of Star Wars series Andor, which returns in less than two weeks, charted three times this week.
Note: Disney+ is the only service not to provide a separate list for TV shows and movies. On this chart, movies are listed in bold.
Peacock:
Olivia Benson is still the queen of Peacock. Law & Order: SVU pulled off yet another clean sweep at #1 on Peacock, after Yellowstone and Long Bright River had both blocked the show from #1 sweeps the past few weeks. As always, it was consistently joined on the chart by Dick Wolf's Chicago series, with these four Wolf series being NBC's most reliable performers on Peacock. Chicago Med continued its surprising run as the top Chicago on Peacock, after reliably being the weakest Chicago during the fall and early winter. Chicago PD was usually right behind it, though Med had a two-show lead on its closest Chicago competition towards the end of the week. Chicago Fire was usually the lowest-ranked Chicago, but it did beat PD out one day. Unlike last week, the four Wolf series weren't the only NBC dramas to make the list this week. Grosse Pointe Garden Society snuck onto the list at #10 on Sunday, following it move to Friday nights. Found also returned to the list this week, at #9 on Saturday. They were joined by NBC's Saturday night staple, Saturday Night Live, at #7, while The Americas, Suits LA, Dateline NBC, The Voice, The Hunting Party and Law & Order all failed to chart this week. Yellowstone remained a top entry on Peacock, consistently charting within the top three, while three remained company on Peacock, as Three's Company charted six days of the last week. Bravo reality series The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Atlanta, Summer House, Southern Charm and Married to Medicine all continued to chart, with three of the series rising to #2 on the chart. NBC-turned-Peacock soap Days of Our Lives charted five days this week.

Paramount+:
1923 bid farewell this week, and it did so in dominant fashion, topping the Paramount+ chart the first five days of this week, following the release of its two-hour series finale. It was down to #5 the next day, then up to #2 the day after that, continuing a pattern of strong perofmrnaues by Taylor Sheridan series. It wasn't the only Paramount+ powerhouse exiting the airwaves this week, as Yellowjackets ended its season by topping the chart on Friday, charting five days in all. This may well be the last time we see a Showtime series chart this well on Paramount+ until the next time Yellowjackets airs, as none of the streamer's recent series have performed anywhere near this well, never reaching #1 and usually dropping off the chart after a day or two, if they chart at all. Fire Country was the only CBS series to top the chart this week, making five appearances on the chart in all this week. Several typical top performers had the week off, with Tracker and The Neighborhood making scattered appearances despite not releasing new episodes. NCIS was one of the top shows of the week, even though it also didn't air, consistently ranging between #2 and #4 on the chart this week. FBI charted two days, peaking at #3. Survivor continued to perform well, charting three times and peaking at #3. The Thursday night series flooded the chart on Friday, with Ghosts peaking at #2 on Friday and charting the entire week. Matlock peaked at #4, though it only charted once, while Georgie & Mandy charted twice, peaking at #7. Elsbeth charted once at #10. FBI: International, FBI: Most Wanted, The Amazing Race, NCIS: Sydney and SWAT all failed to chart. Paramount+ original Happy Face charted five times, though it peaked at #3, the first week since its debut that it didn't hit #1. MobLand ran behind fellow Helen Mirren series 1923 on the day of its release, peaking at #2 and charting six days in all. Criminal Minds, weeks away from its return, remained a top draw on Paramount+, peaking at #4 and charting the entire week.
Note: As with Peacock, Paramount+'s top 10 chart updates throughout the day. For consistency, all data collection is done daily at 2 PM.
Max:
It was a banner week on Max, with the finales of their two most popular series, and the return of one of the most acclaimed shows of the last decade. HBO's The White Lotus capped its run having never dropped below #2 on the chart during this season, with four days at #1 this week. With Max releasing its own hit series in The Pitt, The White Lotus didn't top the chart consistently through its run like The Penguin and Dune: Legacy, as both of those series benefited from a lack of strong competition during their runs. The Pitt led the chart three times this week, while its low point was #3 on the chart, improving from last week in both regards. The reigning Emmy winner for Best Comedy Series, Hacks, also returned this week. The show that's won three Emmys for Jean Smart so far debuted at #3 on the chart, where it remained the next day, its first time on the chart since its Golden Globe victories boosted it on the chart for roughly a week in January. The Righteous Gemstones also continued its run this week, peaking at #2 on the chart, though increased competition pushed it to #6 by week's end, its lowest performance on the chart this season. Its popularity was still enough to keep fellow Danny McBride comedy Vice Principals on the chart for the first five days of the week, despite having ended in 2017. HBO Sunday night talker Last Week Tonight peaked at #4 this week, charting through the week. Real Time with Bill Maher managed the same #4 peak, though it was only on the chart two days this week. Hype grew for the return of The Last Of Us, HBO's hit video game adaption that earned them 24 Emmy nominations in its first season. It charted the entire week, always towards the middle of the chart. A collection of unscripted series also made the chart. All Access PD: Grand Rapids, a new ID series, peaked at #6 for its first week. 90 Day Fiancé and its spinoff The Last Resort, Hollywood Demons, and Tournament of Champions were among the series from Discovery's collection of cable networks that cracked the chart.
