Streaming Premieres
Netflix premieres another new docuseries this week with Taken: Natalee Holloway. If this performs anything like their other recent docuseries, it will premiere at #1 and dominant the chart for some time. Netflix has become the go-to streamer for the genre, so this failing to reach #1 would be the exception, not the rule.
The streamer will also bring back British drama Black Doves, which aired its six-episode first season/series in 2024 to immense success. The long wait time and competition from a brand new docuseries risks this being blocked from #1, at least in the United States. It should still perform well enough for a renewal.
Netflix's third premiere of the week is the anime series Bass X Machina, which will likely serve a more niche audience. Its fate could go either way, but Netflix has expressed a desire recently to cut back on the number of original programs in their lineup.
Elsewhere, Apple TV's golf comedy Stick will return for its second season this coming week. It's already made pretty consistent appearances in their top 10 chart, which is a strong signal it will perform well upon its return. It also holds a 3.8 Attention Score, and could plausibly rival its 15.2 peak when it returns. While Apple TV has next to no catalog to compete with the other streaming services for total market share, their original series have clearly become competitive.
Hulu's All's Fair will return for its second season next week, and holds a much weaker 1.5 Attention Score. It's gone as high as a 19.9 before, but even then would have to compete with ABC's scripted lineup, Swipe Right on the Deal, Reasonable Doubt, TheDrop: A Snowfall Saga, and The Kardashians for the top spot. A renewal can be eked out, but a #1 debut is less likely.
Prime Video will premiere the miniseries The Greatest, which holds a 1.5 Attention Score. It has an uphill battle to #1 given the continued dominance of The Terminal List, with Carrie holding consistently at #2.
