After a recent lull on streaming, it's been a busy week, with major changes on the top ten charts and several new entries. Keep reading too see how the new entries are and which streamers had the biggest shakeups overall.
Hulu:
The biggest draws on Hulu last week remained the biggest draws this week, as original series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, All's Fair, and The Kardashians returned to the top this week. Mormon Wives began the week with two days at #1, and then slid down the list as the week continued, slipping as low as #10 at one point. All's Fair was much more stable, starting the week at #3, rising to #1 for three days, then ending the week back at #3. The Kardashians stayed in the top five all week, ranging from fifth place on Wednesday to first place on Friday and Saturday. ABC aired some of its final originals of the year, with the midseason finales of Abbott Elementary and Shifting Gears. Both achieved season-best performances, with Abbott peaking at #3 across seven appearances and Shifting peaking at #7 and charting six days. Kevin Costner Christmas special The First Christmas has performed very well compared to other recent Christmas specials, debuting at #6 and staying pretty much stable the next two days, only dipping one spot to #7 on Saturday. Daytime soap General Hospital performed well yet again, peaking at #2 and charting each day - the best performer of any ABC series this week. Shark Tank, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, and The Great Christmas Light Fight all failed to chart at all. Fox's offerings were also reduced this week, but they still had several top series on the air. Most surprising was the success of Next Level Baker, which was heavily sampled on Hulu in its premiere week, charting the entire week and spending two days at its #4 peak. Hell's Kitchen peaked higher at #2, but charted six days. Bob's Burgers charted four days, and peaked at #5. The Simpsons spent a single day on the chart at #11. Celebrity Weakest Link finished its run with a single appearance at #9. The Floor charted five days, peaking at #5. 99 to Beat charted our days, peaking at #8. Murder in a Small Town remained on the chart for the first four days of the week. Universal Basic Guys, Krapopolis, and Name That Tune were the only Fox series to miss the chart this week. Disney+ series Percy Jackson & the Olympians peaked at #4 and charted for four days after being the rare Disney+ series to receive a Hulu simulcast.

Disney+:
It was a big week for TV series on a streamer that has really neglected them as of late. Disney+ not only reintroduced their TV-exclusive top ten after a months-long absence, but they also debuted two new prominent series, after months without any tentpole originals. First up was Percy Jackson & the Olympians, which last aired in the very beginning of 2024. It returned for season two this week, and spent two days at #1, after hitting #3 before the season even debuted. It was knocked off the top spot after a docuseries about pop megastar Taylor Swift's famed Eras Tour, titled The End of an Era, debuted. That series opened up at #1, and unlike most music documentaries, it will air over three weeks. Also topping the Disney+ chart this week was Hulu's All's Fair, which is one of the few shows that was able to break onto the Disney+ top ten during the time when TV and films were combined into one chart, though it's been a long time since it's been #1 on Disney+. Coinciding with a solid launch on Hulu, Fox's Next Level Baker also popped up on Disney+'s TV chart once it launched, rising as high as #4. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives charted three days on Disney+ before dropping off the chart on Saturday. Much of the rest of the chart was animated series centered around popular Disney characters. A few Mickey Mouse series, including holiday-themed series, graced the charts, as did Zootopia+. FX's 2019 adaptation of A Christmas Carol also charted a few days. While this column generally focuses on TV shows, Disney+'s film chart will continue to be reported for the sake of consistency. That's because the TV chart went away last time fairly quickly, so I don't know yet if it's here to stay this time. With movies often dominating the combined chart, it makes sense to continue reporting on that data in the event that Disney+ again reverts to a combined TV and film chart. The film chart saw some different entries than we were seeing on the combined chart. Home Alone dominated that chart, while it hadn't charted once on the combined chart. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The last Straw charted across both charts, topping the combined chart twice. Zootopia's been a top entry on the combined chart, but wasn't on the film chart at all. Other entires spending multiple days on the film chart included the first two Santa Clause films, Home Alone 2, Christmas Vacation, Mickey's Once
and Twice Upon a Christmas, and Prep & Landing: The Snowball Protocol. The Eras Tour - The Final Show, a filmed version of Swift's final show in her landmark tour, released at the same time as her docuseries, and entered at #2 on the film chart.

Peacock:
Bel Air ended its final season this week, and it had a strong showing on its way out. The dramatic twist on a beloved sitcom spent six days this week at #1, slipping to #2 at the end of the week. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was the only show that could compete with it, hitting #1 or a single day after spending a full week on the chart. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and Potomac joined it on the chart or four and three days, respectively, while Vanderpump Rules, Southern Charm, Married to Medicine, and Below Deck Mediterranean were other Bravo series that made the chart. NBC's best performer was, once again, St. Denis Medical, which spent the whole week on the chart and peaked at #4. The Voice charted for two days this week, despite peaking at a lower #9. Happy's Place charted three days and peaked at #7. Stumble charted for only a single day at #8, continuing a disappointing streak for the show that once looked fairly promising on streaming. Dateline NBC charted four days and peaked at #6. Law & Order: SVU departed the chart this week, most recently charting on Sunday. Peacock original All Her Fault charted between third and eighth on the chart this week over seven appearances.

Paramount+:
The top spot on Paramount+ was competitive this week, and Landman and South Park split the position fairly evenly. After sweeping #1 last week, Landman was down to four days at the top this week, even slipping to #3 at the end of the week. South Park, meanwhile, surged to the top this week after airing its finale, claiming three days at #1 after starting the week at #4. Landman's fellow Taylor Sheridan creation, Mayor of Kingstown, was still the weaker of his series, but it peaked at #2 this week, and dipped to #6 at its worst point. In both cases, that's an improvement on how it's performed for much of the season. Tulsa King stayed strong, weeks after its finale, peaking at #3 and never leaving the top five. Tracker was among CBS's top series this week on Paramount+, peaking at #2 and charting five days. The Neighborhood charted just once at #9. FBI spent three days on the chart, peaking at #5. NCIS was the only CBS series to chart all week, and it also peaked the highest, at #2 (with two other CBS series also achieving that peak). It was a down week overall for NCIS: Origins, which charted at #9 after also declining in the linear ratings. Survivor charted at #5 for its single appearance. The Thursday shows also took hits, with Ghosts peaking at #5 and charting only three days - its worst showing this season. Matlock charted at #7, Georgie & Mandy charted at #9, and Elsbeth just snuck onto the chart at #10 - all of them spending only one day on the chart. Friday night drama Fire Country improved, though, peaking at #2 with three chart appearances this week. Sheriff Country had another week o trailing its parent series, charting two days and peaking at #4. And, like Elsbeth, Boston Blue barely cracked the top ten at all, charting at #10 for one day. Plenty of CBS series avoided the chart like the plague this week - The Road, DMV, Watson, NCIS: Sydney and The Amazing Race all missed out on charting at all. New Paramount+ exclusive miniseries Little Disasters had a fitting title, as its stateside launch was a little disastrous, charting just one day at #8, having released months ago in the UK. Everybody Loves Raymond and Criminal Minds both continued to make several appearances on the chart this week.

HBO Max:
For the first time since its debut in October, IT: Welcome to Derry did not sweep the top spot on HBO Max. While it remained the top entry for most of the week, the Stephen King horror series was down to second place one the chart on Saturday, its first time off the top spot. What show finally had a strong enough performance to knock IT down a peg? Gay sports romance series Heated Rivalry, a Canadian import from the streamer Crave. While the show has performed well throughout its run, this week saw a noticeable uptick across the week as buzz built on social media, culminating in hitting the top spot on the service. I Love LA, one of the few HBO series currently airing, peaked at #2 this week - its best showing so far, after weeks of playing second fiddle to The Chair Company. LA dipped as low as sixth place this week, much better than last week, when it sunk as low as ninth on the chart. The Chair Company, now a few weeks removed from its finale, left the chart this week, after having started the week at #5. Despite a solid run overall, that's a fairly quick departure from the chart, compared to some other top HBO/Max series. Smiling Friends also aired its finale one November 30, and while it has clearly declined in its chart position, it's consistently remained on the chart so far, dipping to eight place at its worst point. HBO's Friday night comedy It's Florida, Man spent just one day on the chart this week, at #8. Hard Knocks charted four days and peaked at #4. HBO Max cartoon Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake performed the same. Continuing to perform better than just about every current show was Emmy-winning AMC classic Mad Men. The drama was added to HBO Max last week, and continues to perform well as new audiences discover it. While we have seen long-ended hits pop onto the chart from time to time, this is the most prominent example on HBO Max of a series from many years ago finding a new audience. Food Network's festive Holiday Baking Championship charted the entire week, peaking at #6. Tournament of Champions: All-Star Christmas had an above-average showing, charting three days and also peaking at #6. Other cable series on the chart this week included the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, Baylen Out Loud, and Gold Rush.
