It was another busy week on streaming, with several premieres and finales across the streamers, including both broadcast favorites and streaming hits. Keep reading to see the charts for Hulu, Disney+, Peacock, Paramount+ and HBO Max this week.
Hulu:
High Potential remained the top attraction on Hulu this week, but the hit procedural wasn't as dominant as it was in its premiere week. Obviously, much of that comes down to competition, as the shows that beat it out either premiered this week or had finales. Still, four days at #1 is an impressive feat for High Potential, especially since it was the only show on the streamer to stay in the top three for the entire week. Alien: Earth and Project Runway were the two shows to hit #1 the week of their finales. Alien: Earth has consistently charted at least once a week throughout its run, but Project Runway was beat out by High Potential last week, so it being the finale certainly seemed to help it on the chart. The Golden Bachelor also hit #1 for a day as it returned. This season opened up far lower than any episode from season one on linear TV, but there's clearly still an audience on streaming that's at least willing to give this season a sampling. Dancing with the Stars was the other big ABC primetime series this week, and was the only show besides High Potential to remain in the top five all week on Hulu - an impressive feat for a reality show that relies heavily on live viewing. Shark Tank failed to chart whatsoever after its premiere, while Who Wants to Be a Millionaire's finale also failed to chart. 20/20 charted all week and peaked at #2. Perhaps the most eye-catching ABC show on Hulu's chart this week, though, is Jimmy Kimmel Live. The late-night series has
never had a presence on the TV chart (and it's not alone in that - none of the other network late-night series crack the charts on their respective streamers, either), but its host was the center of a political firestorm in the last week after being suspended for a controversial joke on the show. His reinstatement made headlines and sent the show to its highest ratings in years, and it showed on Hulu as well. It entered the chart at #8 and was down to #12 the next day - not exactly a dominant showing on Hulu, but by far its best performance nonetheless. Fox debuted a few shows of its own this week, though, like ABC, several shows were also in their second weeks. Murder in a Small Town was their most prominent premiere on Hulu, peaking at #10 on the chart over three appearances. 99 to Beat had an unusual debut, with a post-NFL preview and then a repeat in its regular time slot serving as its time slot debut. It charted only two days, but had the highest peak of any Fox show at #7. It did not chart whatsoever after its Wednesday premiere. That's in contrast to Doc, which had a post-NFL preview the previous Monday, but seemed to rise a bit after the episode aired again on Tuesday. Despite not airing a new episode in the last seven days, Doc was the only Fox show to chart each day this week. The Floor looked weaker upon its return than it did last season. It spent just one day on the chart, at #10. That's a higher peak than the Monday night game shows, as Celebrity Weakest Link peaked at #12 (albeit spending two days on the chart versus one) and Name That Tune failed to chart at all. Special Forces managed to out-perform Hell's Kitchen on premiere night, a fairly surprising development considering how the two shows performed last season. Special Forces debuted at #9 on the chart, while Hell's Kitchen debuted just outside the top ten, at #11. Hulu drama Reasonable Doubt peaked at #3 this week, spending the majority of the week in that position, and the entire week in the top ten. Only Murders in the Building peaked a bit higher at #2, but its chart position was a bit less consistent. Still, it too spent the entire week on the chart. The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox has been a fairly tepid performer for Hulu through its run, and it ended its run this week by peaking at #6, spending the majority of the week outside the top ten, but still on the chart. Futurama crashed off the top fifteen quickly, charting just three days this week before departing, just over a week after its last season was released. Speaking of disastrous binge drops, FX's English teacher released its entire second season on Hulu this week, while its linear run will continue for the next three weeks. It debuted at just #13 on the chart. In contrast, FX's new drama The Lowdown got off to a respectable start, peaking at #4 and charting within the top ten for four days this week.

Disney+:
New Disney+ animated series Marvel Zombies was the big winner on the chart this week, leading the way three days of the last week. Other shows to hit #1 this week included the latest LEGO Star Wars series, Disney Channel's Electric Bloom, High Potential, and Alien Earth, all of which hit #1 once this week. Other shows to chart this week included Only Murders in the Building, The Lowdown, Top Guns: The Next Generation, Ironheart, ABC's Disneyland anniversary special, and Murder in a Small Town. In a surprise twist that I didn't see coming, Disney+ combined their top ten charts again, after less than two weeks of keeping their TV and film charts separate. As such, several films charted for the final two days of this week, including Hocus Pocus 2, Elio, and Thunderbolts*.

Peacock:
After a long summer in which Love Island kept them afloat, NBC's regular programming returned and provided Peacock with a much-needed infusion of new content. The impact wasn't immediately noticed at the top of the chart, as with Love Island Games remained #1 for the first four days of the week, and it was The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City that dethroned it. However, by Friday, Law & Order: SVU reclaimed its stop atop the chart, where it sat for pretty much the entirety of the 2024-25 TV season. Of course, it wasn't NBC's only show on the Peacock chart this week. The Voice has spent five days and counting on the chart, peaking at #3. Brilliant Minds has also been on the chart since Tuesday, peaking at #4. That's a bit lower than where it opened up last season, but better than the end of season one, when it wasn't even cracking the top ten at all - let alone for five days in a row. Law & Order has charted both of the two days since its season premiere, also peaking at #4 on the chart. That's higher than any point in its previous season, though this time, it isn't facing competition from any of the Chicago trio, which bows next week. The additions of NBC's fall shows to the chart meant some shows that had been charting ended up slipping off the chart. The show most prominently impacted was The Paper, which has left the chart just three weeks after its premiere. It started this week at #3 on the chart, but continued to drop as the week went on, ultimately dropping out of the top ten on Saturday. The Rainmaker only charted three days this week after charting all of last week. Jeopardy! logged five appearances this week, down from seven last week. The return of the quarter of NBC series even impacted fellow NBC show Dateline, which charted four days this week, well below its average performance from the last few weeks. America's Got Talent charted two days for tis final week, peaking at #7 and looking about the same as last week. Even Bravo had less of a presence on the chart this week, with only the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and Orange County charting each day among their series. Real Housewives of Miami charted for only two days, while their only other series on the chart for the week was Below Deck, which charted for only one day (having ended the previous week).

Paramount+:
South Park is still the king of Paramount+, but it's facing its stiffest competition yet, in the face of a different King. Tulsa King, the Taylor Sheridan series starring Sylvester Stallone, was back this week, and spent two days at #1. It was one of the top series for the rest of the week as well, spending all but one other day at #2. Big Brother was the only series outside of South Park and Tulsa King to reach a #2 peak on the chart, doing so on Friday. It was the final full week of the reality series, which will wrap its season on Sunday, and this may have been the last time we see the show spend the entire week on the chart. For once, it wasn't the only current CBS series on the chart. Survivor returned this week, and charted four days, peaking at #5. Aside from the day after its premiere, it didn't really chart all that much higher than it's been charting throughout the summer, as the long-running reality series has more or less been a staple of Paramount+'s chart. The Amazing Race didn't chart all that much last season, but with less CBS competition, it managed to sneak onto the chart for its premiere, spending one day at #10. Other CBS series on the chart included NCIS, Ghosts and Blue Bloods. NCIS charted all week, while Blue Bloods charted six days and Ghosts charted one. Everybody Loves Raymond also managed to chart twice this week. Paramount+ original NCIS: Tony & Ziva continues to perform pretty well, peaking at #6 on the chart and staying in the top ten all week.

HBO Max:
Task and Peacemaker are settling into a familiar pattern for HBO Max, where HBO's signature Sunday night drama and HBO Max's Thursday night series share the top spot over the course of the week, with nothing else able to break through. Task was #1 for four days this week, and Peacemaker was #1 for three days. The best-performing series besides those two were HBO talk series Real Time with Bill Maher and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, which both peaked at #2 this week. Real Time charted five days in all, while Last Week Tonight charted the entire week. Also remaining strong this week was The Pitt, which hasn't aired in almost six months, but is enjoying a second wind thanks to a big night at the Emmys. It ranged from third to fifth on the chart this week, and both began and ended the week at #4 on the chart. Halloween Baking Championship had an impressive showing, charting six days and peaking at #4 on the chart - its best-ever showing. Other cable reality series on the chart this week included Welcome to Plathville, the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, and Ghost Adventures: House Calls.
