It was another week of big premieres on streaming, with several high-profile premieres this week, while some old favorites returned to the charts as well. Keep reading to see what was trending on Hulu, Disney+, Peacock, Paramount+ and HBO Max this week!
Hulu:
After a few weeks of Bachelor in Paradise domination on Hulu, this week saw several other series rising to the top, as well. Bachelor in Paradise's streak at #1 ended, suggesting that streaming interest in the series has also declined right along with its sagging linear ratings, though it still topped the chart three days, the most of any show this week. Three other programs also led the way - fellow dating series Love Island UK, crime docuseries Trophy Wife: Murder on the Safari, and ABC soap General Hospital, the only other program to top the chart multiple days this week. ABC had several other series on the chart as well, including "new" game show Match Game, which returned with host Martin Short this week. it debuted at #15 on the chart after being available on Hulu for a few hours, then jumped to #5 after being available for a full day. It was down to #10 the day after that, a decent enough start for a game show. Its lead-in, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, has thus far spent two days on the chart, debuting at #9 and then down to #11 the next day, a more stable showing than Match Game. Celebrity Family Feud weakened a bit this week, charting five days of the last week, though its #8 peak on Saturday is its best performance of the season. Press Your Luck also performed a bit better than last week, charting at #14 on Saturday. Fox also had several series on the chart, with MasterChef performing the best again. The Gordon Ramsay staple peaked at #3 on the chart this week, charting six days in all. Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service charted three days this week, but didn't air a new episode. LEGO Masters, The Quiz with Balls and The Snake all charted for one day each, while The 1% Club peaked higher than any of them, and charted two days. Their animated comedies didn't air this week, but Family Guy stayed on the chart all week, while Bob's Burgers charted five days. The Fixer was Fox's only original to miss the chart entirely, to no one's surprise. FX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia dipped off the chart for a day this week, charting six days and peaking at #6. Hulu original The Bear remains a solid performer a month out from its fourth season, never dropping out of the top ten this week. New Hulu historical drama Washington Black, which dropped its full first season this week, charted as high as #2, but quickly dropped down the chart to #7, before rising to #5 the next day.
Disney+:
It was a pretty odd week on Disney+ overall. As we saw at the end of last week, a lot of the chart was occupied by a collection of videos celebrating the 70th anniversary of Disneyland, featuring POV ride-throughs of some of the park's most popular attractions. The chart presence of those videos diminished as the week went on (now down to just one, centered on Tiana's Bayou Adventure), but began the week taking up 60% of the chart. Those videos knocked many movies and shows off the list, but not Zombies 4, which was #1 the first four days of the week before dipping to #2 the next two days and then disappearing the next day, which is, well, odd - though not a new phenomenon on Disney+. It was replaced at the top by Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+, a Disney+ revival of the Disney Channel series beloved by preschoolers in the mid-2000s. That revival has don't pretty well so far, debuting at #3 on the chart before rising to #1, then dropping to #3 again and rising to #2 the next day. That series was itself replaced at #1 by an extended look at the new film The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Animated series Iron Man and His Awesome Friends charted three days this week, peaking at #7. The rest of the chart was made up of movies, including The Amateur, the 2005 Fantastic Four film and its sequel, the other films in the Zombies franchise, and The Incredibles.Peacock:
Love Island USA has been a summer smash for Peacock, and it remained so this week, topping their chart six days of the last week. It was eventually dethroned by Real Housewives of Orange County, which is understandable, considering it ended nearly two weeks ago. Its spinoff, Beyond the Villa, continues its first season on a weekly basis and has been performing well, charting five days and peaking at #2. The Orange County housewives weren't the only Bravo stars gracing the Peacock chart this week. As has become a regular occurrence, Bravo shows took up the majority of Peacock's chart, greatly outnumbering NBC series. Below Deck, The Valley, Next Generation NYC, Real Housewives of Miami and Atlanta and Watch What Happens Live all charted this week. The only NBC series to chart this week was Destination X, which charted three days. USA/Syfy series Resident Alien, canceled just days ago, continued to perform decently enough on Peacock, charting five days in all and rising as high as fourth. Making a surprising Peacock debut this week was TNT procedural Rizzoli & Isles, which ended nearly a decade ago. It's risen as the week has gone on, starting out at #7 on Monday and rising to #4 by the end of the week.

Paramount+:
It's been a long time since we've seen a new show topping the Paramount+ chart, but it finally happened this week, as South Park dethroned Criminal Minds as the top offering on the streamer. It comes amid a highly-publicized South Park premiere that mocked the president and earned it mainstream news coverage, and a few weeks after Criminal Minds wrapped its season. Paramount is surely happy about South Park's streaming performance, as they finalized a deal with its creators for streaming rights of the series for $1.5 billion. Paramount+ is finally starting to heat up a bit, as their chart is no longer entirely occupied by a bunch of CBS titles that haven't aired in months. Big Brother was one of few CBS series to reliably chart this week, ranging from #8 to #2 on the chart this week. It was joined by NCIS and Blue Bloods each day this week, while Survivor and The Neighborhood charted part of the week. Dexter: Resurrection peaked at #6 this week and shared four days. Its parent series, Dexter, charted every day, and peaked at #4, with the sequel series clearly spawning new interest in the show that started it all. Fellow Showtime series The Chi also looked solid, peaking at #2 (surpassing Criminal Minds that day) and staying in the top ten all week. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds peaked at a solid #2, charting the entire week.

HBO Max:
It was business as usual on HBO Max this week, with The Gilded Age and And Just Like That remaining atop their chart. The Gilded Age was once again #1 four days this week, and And Just Like That was #1 the other three days, a familiar pattern. One change this week was that The Gilded Age was beaten on two occasions by HBO's Billy Joel documentary, which both began and ended the week at #2, and never dropped below fourth place on the chart. The documentary, running nearly five hours, was split into two halves aired over two Fridays, hence its performance being best at both the beginning and end of the week. HBO and HBO Max had few other originals on the chart this week beyond those top programs. Biographical series Chespirito ended its run this week, and rose to #3 on its best day. Back to the Frontier spent four days on the chart. Peacemaker, which had a surprising return to the chart last week, slipped off the chart a few days into the week. The rest of the chart was unscripted content from Warner Bros. Discovery's cable networks, namely TLC, Food Network, and ID. The 90 Day Fiancé franchise, A Killer Among Friends, Welcome to Plathville and 911: Did the Killer Call were among the best performers.
