It's been a fairly busy week on streaming, with several high-profile debuts that shook up the long-stagnant charts of several streamers, as the summer season reaches its end and a new TV season is now in plain sight.
Hulu:
It was another strong week for FX's Alien: Earth, which once again topped the chart for six days of the last week. The series is holding very steady on Hulu as the season continues, at least as far as its chart position is concerned. The only show to beat it this week was Bachelor in Paradise, which ended its recent season this week. The dating series spent the entire week on the chart, and didn't drop below sixth place. Paradise wasn't the only ABC show on the charts this week as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and Match Game also charted, making one-off appearances on Friday. Both improved several positions over their performances from last week. General Hospital did not top the chart this week, but still performed well, charting each day and spending four of seven days in the top five. ABC's Emma and Bruce Willis special remained on the chart for the first three days of the week. News programs ABC World News Tonight and Good Morning America both made chart appearances as well - five for the World News and four for GMA. Fox's best performer remained MasterChef. While the series only peaked at #6 on the chart, it was their only series to chart each day this week. Secret Service charted two days at the start of the week, having taken this week off. The 1% Club looked better this week than it has ins several weeks, reaching a peak of #7 and holding onto a spot on the chart for two days. LEGO Masters Jr. returned to the chart this week at #11. Murder in a Small Town returned to the charts for the first time in roughly nine months, spending two days at #12. Freeform's Project Runway peaked last #2 this week, and spent the whole week on the chart. Their other reality series, Love Thy Nader, was binge-released on Hulu last week. It had a decent second week, only once dropping out of the top ten after only debuting at #9 last week. Hulu's The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox peaked at #2 this week. King of the Hill charted four days this week before leaving the chart, while The Bear returned to the chart for one day.

Disney+:
Thunderbolts' time at the top of the Disney+ chart was relatively short lived, as an even bigger summer blockbuster quickly followed it to Disney+. The 2025 live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch made its way to Disney+ this week. The only American film to cross the billion-dollar mark at the box office this year was always destined to make a major splash on Disney+ once it arrived, but the strong performance of the Lilo & Stitch franchise in the month following the remake's theatrical release made it even more likely that it would dominate once it arrived. It's only been three days, but it hasn't budged from the top spot. To Thunderbolts' credit, it has continued to out-perform everything on Disney+ besides Lilo & Stitch, and looks like it can sustain a long-term presence on the chart, much like fellow 2025 Marvel film Captain America: Brave New World, which also remained on the chart all week. Other films making multiple appearances this week included Ice Age, Mean Girls, Rio, the Snow White remake, Freaky Friday, and The Incredibles, in a film-heavy week. Alien: Earth, the new FX series, was the only TV series to maintain a week-long presence on the Disney+ chart. It ranged from third to seventh on the chart this week, remaining a rare bright spot for TV shows on the chart, as films massively overtook them overall this week.

Peacock:
Twisted Metal has done decently well, but the Peacock charts desperately needed a shakeup in a post-Love Island world. The chart has seen mostly the same shows occupying each slot on the chart in varying order since Love Island ended, with many slots. being cable reality shows and a few slots reserved for NBC series, with an old show from the Peacock library show usually joining them (in this case, That '70s Show was even topping the chart). At long last, Peacock has debuted new Office spinoff The Paper. The series is only loosely related to The Office, with just one main cast member shared between the two, but it's from the same creator, and uses the same rockumentary format. That was enough to draw in fans of the mega-popular NBC sitcom, and The Paper debuted at #3 before rising to #1 the next day. Its longevity as a chart-topper remains to be seen, especially as it was given a binge release, but Peacock has to be happy with this debut. It's already renewed for another season, so the hope is surely that it will keep performing this well for quite a while. Twisted Metal was #1 for one day this week, and #2 for almost every other day, before slipping to #3 on Saturday. America's Got Talent charted four days this week, as did Dateline, the only other NBC series to chart. Love Island charted the entire week, one week out from the reunion special. The Rainmaker charted three days this week, peaking at 53. The rest of the chart was Bravo, Oxygen and E! cable series, including the Real Housewives of Orange County and Miami, Below Deck, Buried in the Backyard, and The McBee Dynasty.

Paramount+:
South Park's amazing uninterrupted run at the top of the Paramount+ chart has come to an end. The hit Comedy Central cartoon was dethroned this week by a new entry, NCIS: Tony & Ziva, one of the few scripted series we've seen debut on Paramount+ in the last few months. The series featured the returns of two popular NCIS characters working in Europe, and received a good deal of promotion in the month leading up to the launch. The promotion worked well enough for it to debut at #2 on the chart, before rising to #2 the next day. It's not one of just three shows to top the Paramount+ since early June, after Criminal Minds and South Park. Despite that, South Park came back with a vengeance on Saturday, once again topping the chart, as Tony & Ziva dipped to #2. Big Brother hit as high as #2 on the chart this week, and once again charted the entire week. Dexter: Resurrection ended its first season, charting five days and peaking at #3. The added Tony & Ziva competition meant it peaked a bit lower this week than last week, but it looked a bit better at the start of this week than it did at the start of last week. Parent series Dexter remained on the chart all week and peaked nearly as high, at #4. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds charted six days this week, peaking at #7. NCIS and Blue Bloods were the only CBS series not presently airing new episodes to chart the entire week, while Survivor charted three days and Everybody Loves Raymond charted one. Criminal Minds remained an evergreen chart presence, and Tulsa King returned to the chart for three days in the earlier part of the week.

HBO Max:
After an unpredictable week last week, we saw a bit more stability at the top of HBO Max's chart this week. Peacemaker again ranked #1 for four days of the last week, though it dipped as low as fourth on the chart at its worst point (compared to last week, when its worst showing was a third-place finish on Wednesday). The rest of the days saw just one show holding that #1 spot - Rick and Morty. The Adult Swim cartoon wrapped its eighth season on linear TV a few months ago, but the season was just added to HBO Max this week. As such, it debuted straight at #1, and held there for three days before dipping to #2 after a new episode of Peacemaker dropped. The competition from Rick and Morty meant Hard Knocks didn't reach the top of the charts this week, the first week of the season where it didn't reach those heights. It peaked at #2 this week, spending three days in second place. Real Time with Bill Maher was off last week, so it wasn't a major presence on the chart this week (it still managed to break onto the chart on Sunday, at ninth), though it returned at #2 on Saturday after it returned from its short break. HBO's The Gilded Age departed the top ten this week, a bit under a month since its finale. Ditto for And Just Like That, which made what will likely be its last-ever appearance on the chart on Monday. HBO Max reality series Back to the Frontier charted the first three days of the week before departing the chart, having ended its season last week. The Yogurt Shop Murders remained on the chart all week, though it's clearly on the decline, having started the week at #3 and ended at #8 (dropping to #9 for a day in between). Investigation Discovery debuted new documentary series Ruby & Jodi: A Cult of Sin & Influence. While the true crime network often has several entries on the chart, this series had a particularly strong first week, rising as high as #2 on the chart, and not leaving the top five thus far. Other cable reality series on the chart this week included Welcome to Plathville, Naked & Afraid Apocalypse, Deadliest Catch, and the 90 Day Fiancé series.
