Two Netflix originals dominated the 2024-2025 entertainment TV season, according to a new Nielsen 35-day multiplatform ranking. The rating system measures what people are watching across both linear and streaming in a 35-day viewing window and was cut off early April for this edition of the chart. It found that season two of Netflix’s Squid Game was the most-watched series of the 2024-2025 entertainment TV season with an average of 27.1 million viewers, according to Variety. Meanwhile, coming in second place was another Netflix hit, Adolescence, which averaged at 19 million viewers. Rounding out the top five were CBS’ Tracker, Prime Video’s Reacher, and ABC’s High Potential which averaged at 17.4 million, 17.3 million, and 16.1 million viewers respectively. Netflix notably scored several wins on the list taking up half of the top 20 spots, and proving the platform’s gargantuan effect on streaming. Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, Zero Day, and Nobody Wants This were among other Netflix originals that ranked in the list’s top ten with averages ranging between 15.2 to 15.7 million viewers.
