It was a busy week on Hulu, with new series debuting or returning on every service, and several other top originals and broadcast hits also continuing their runs. Keep reading to see how the new entires stacked up to the shows that have been dominating on streaming for weeks.
Hulu:
The Kardashians are taking over Hulu. Not only did the family's titular reality show hit #1 on Hulu's chart this week, Hulu also debuted a new Ryan Murphy legal drama starring Kim Kardashian herself, alongside a cast of acting legends. The series topped Hulu's chart three days this week, and slipped to #5 at its weakest point, a solid debut for a Hulu original. Despite that, Grey's Anatomy had just as many days at #1 this week, as the ancient ABC medical drama impressively managed to again both start and end the week at the top. It was joined at the top by 9-1-1, which charted the entire week and peaked at #2, reaching that height twice. 9-1-1: Nashville, the other drama in ABC's Thursday lineup, was the weakest link of that group, but was still one of the better performers on ABC. It peaked at #3 and charted six days, a mild decline from last week. It was a good week for the #1 show on TV, as Dancing with the Stars had its highest peak of the season at #2, though it also had its second straight week in which it did not chart the entire week, dropping out of the top fifteen for a single day. Abbott Elementary also charted six days this week, peaking at #5. The Golden Bachelor had its best showing since its premiere week, charting three days and peaking at #6. Shifting Gears again charted for only one day, this time at #12. 20/20 peaked at #7 and charted five days. Despite its midseason finale airing a week ago, High Potential charted six days this week, peaking at #3. Daytime soap General Hospital charted six days and peaked at #2. America's Funniest Home Videos, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune and Shark Tank were the only ABC series not to chart this week. Fox's best performer was Doc, which returned from a week off by peaking at #4 and charting four days. Bob's Burgers charted two days and peaked at #8. Murder in a Small Town charted one day and peaked at #7. The Floor and 99 to Beat both charted a single day, peaking at #11 and #14, respectively. Hell's Kitchen continued to slightly outpace Special Forces, with both charting three days and peaking at #8 and #11, respectively. The Simpsons, Universal Basic Guys, Krapopolis, Name That Tune and Celebrity Weakest Link all failed to chart at all. Hulu original Reasonable Doubt peaked at #2 and charted all week. Only Murders in the Building and Chad Powers both remained on the chart for four days before slipping off the chart. Murdaugh: Death in the family charted the entire week and ranged between #2 and #7. FX's The Lowdown charted one day at #9.

Disney+:
It was a bit of an odd transitionary week this week on Disney+. Halloween films lingered on the chart for the first half of the week (and Dia de los Muertos cartoon The Book of Life charted pretty much all week), while we also began to see the Christmas creep begin on Disney+. The week started with Hocus Pocus at #1, joined by other Halloween fare like Hocus Pocus 2, Halloweentown and Hotel Transylvania. Most of them disappeared from the chart by Tuesday, with Hocus Pocus being replaced at #1 by a paid promo for Fortnite's new collaboration with The Simpsons, which charted the entire week and spent two days at #1. Also hitting #1 was Ryan Murphy's new Hulu series All's Fair, which has charted each day since its release. It wasn't Murphy's only show on the chart, as 9-1-1: Nashville returned to the Disney+ chart for the first time in a few weeks on Saturday. Chad Powers performed better this week than it did in the last few weeks despite ending its first season last week, charting three times. Murdaugh: Death in the Family also charted three times this week, and anime Twisted-Wonderland charted five days. Fire and Water: Making the Avatar Films, which is exactly what the name suggests, charted the day after its release, at #10. The Fantastic Four: Next Steps, Marvel's most recent release, was added to Disney+ this week and has spent the first three days of availability at #1. Other films charting this week that weren't previously mentioned included Thunderbolts, Coco, the Twilight films, Ratatouille, Life-Size, and Hulu Christmas film Joy to the World, which started charting on Disney+ before the corpse of Halloween even had a chance to get cold.

Peacock:
Typically-dominant procedural Law & Order: SVU hit a bit of turbulence this week on Peacock. As the show too the week off from airing on NBC, it dropped on Peacock's chart, ranking #1 four times this week, and sliding to sixth place on the chart by the end of the week. While still enough to be one of Peacock's best-performing shows, it's definitely a notable underperformance for the show, which is often able to hold on to the #1 spot (or close to it) in weeks when it doesn't air. The other NBC series to hit #1 this week was St. Denis Medical, which had a surprisingly great return on Peacock, entering at #4 on Tuesday (the first day it was available, which is a day earlier than most shows hit their peaks on Peacock) and rising to #1 the next day. It declined after that, but remained on the chart for the rest of the week. This is just the second time it has reached #1 on Peacock, and one of the best weeks the show has ever had on Peacock in all. The third show to hit #1 this week was Peacock's newest miniseries, All Her fault, which dropped its entire first season this week. It entered at #10 on Thursday before rising all the way to #1 on Friday and ending the week there. NBC's Chicago franchise continued to perform well, with PD being the best performer of the trio for much of the week, while Fire pulled ahead a few days. PD peaked at #2 this week, while Fire peaked at #3. Med, as always, was the worst performer off the trio, peaking at #5 and dropping as low as #10. Law & Order also had the week off, and therefore only charted two days at the start of the week. The Voice charted two days, peaking at #8. Dateline NBC also charted twice. Musical special Wicked: One Wonderful Night entered the chart at the end of the week at #8. Happy's Place entered the chart at #10 on Saturday, though it will likely rise higher on the chart on Sunday, as it often did last season. On Brand with Jimmy Fallon missed the chart for the week following its finale, while Brilliant Minds again failed to chart. Stumble also missed the chart on its one day of eligibility, though like Happy's Place, the true test will be how it performs tomorrow, as it's only been on Peacock for a partial day at this point. Bravo was the top contributor to the chart outside of NBC, with four different Real Housewives shows and Below Deck Mediterranean all charting this week.

Paramount+:
South Park remains incredibly strong on Paramount+. The animated series was again #1 for five days this week, with its #3 showing on Sunday being its worst performance of the week. Tulsa King was, of course, the show that topped the chart the two days it was not #1. For the second week in a row, Mayor of Kingstown also managed to pull ahead of South Park, peaking at #2 on Sunday. Kingstown had both a higher peak and a lower low than last week, as it was down to #9 on the chart by week's end. Another Paramount+ original series, Crutch, had a much weaker performance this week. The spinoff of The Neighborhood charted just one day at #7 despite its entire first season dropping at once. The Neighborhood itself performed better, managing the same #7 peak but charting three days in all. CBS's Tracker had a down week on streaming this week, though it still looked strong, charting six days and peaking at #4. FBI charted two days and also peaked at #4. Watson returned to the top ten for a day this week at #10. NCIS: Origins similarly made an appearance after several weeks out of the top ten, also at #10. NCIS peaked at #2 and charted the entire week. Survivor charted one day at #5. Ghosts peaked at #2 and was the only CBS show besides NCIS to chart the entire week. Matlock improved slightly this week, charting the same number of days as last week, but peaking notably higher at #3. Elsbeth charted one day at #8, and Georgie & Mandy charted or the second week in a row at #9. Sheriff Country declined a bit after last week's strong showing, charting two days and peaking at #3. Fire Country peaked at #2 and charted three days. Boston Blue remained the weakest of the Friday night trio, charting one day at #5 - still a solid-enough showing. 48 Hours, 60 Minutes, The Road, DMV, NCIS: Sydney and The Amazing Race all failed to chart at all.

HBO Max:
IT was another big week on HBO Max for IT: Welcome to Derry. Though the show has not released a new episode on HBO Max since last Friday (when it uploaded its second episode early for Halloween), it was still able to sweep the week at #1, never departing the top spot. Competition was fairly muted, as fellow. Sunday night shows were the only major rivals for it this week. The Chair Company looked stronger than ever, with five days at #2 this week. That was significantly stronger than its HBO lead-out, I Love LA, which had a decent debut week, but underperformed the debut of The Chair Company, the only other new HBO comedy debut in recent memory. I Love LA started the week out at #7, but had impressive stability on the chart, rising to #5 towards the end of the week. Smiling Friends was back from a week off. As such, it saw a clear improvement on the chart, peaking at #2 this week. Real Time with Bill Maher also managed to hit #2 on the chart this week, charity four days in all. Though it peaked at a lower #3, Last Week Tonight had more longevity than its fellow HBO talker, charting the entire week. HBO miniseries Task has remained on the chart several weeks after ending its run, ranging from fourth to ninth on the chart this week. HBO Max sports docuseries Alex vs. ARod debuted this week and charted one day at #9. Animated series Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake charted four days this week - two days at both the beginning and end of the week - and peaked at #4. Holiday Baking Championship returned this week and charted two days at #10, a notably weaker start than Halloween Baking Championship. Other unscripted cable series on the chart this week included TLC's Baylen Out Loud and 90 Day Fiancé series, Discovery's In the Eye of the Storm, and ID's The Friday the 13th Murders.
