February 19, 2019
The premiere of the third season of Netflix’s “One Day at a Time” helped push the comedy series up to No. 4 on Parrot Analytics’ digital originals chart for the week ended Feb. 16. Average daily Demand Expressions for the show rose to 26.3 million, up 124% from the previous week when the show was ranked No. 25. New episodes were released Feb. 8.
Meanwhile, a couple of shows whose third seasons are still months away grabbed the top two spots.
Social media buzz for the Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” kept the dystopian drama at No. 1.

Expressions rose to 30.1 million, up from 29.2 million the previous week after the trailer for the third season had pushed the show into back into the top spot.
Netflix’s “Stranger Things” moved up a spot to No. 2, its expressions up 6.5% to 28.4 million. The third season won’t arrive on the streaming service until July 4.
