The latter tracked 2.1 billion minutes to “Bridgerton” totaling 1.67 billion minutes the previous week. And the period drama topped “Cobra Kai” the week before that with 2.64 billion minutes.
“We’ve had ‘Cobra-Kai’ and ‘Bridgerton’ swapping the lead more than a NASCAR race over the past couple of weeks,” Brian Fuhrer, SVP of product strategy, said in a video post. Fuhrer said the week marked the debut of Disney Plus’ “WandaVision” on the chart, tracking 434 million minutes across two episodes — besting “The Mandalorian” with 339 million across 16 episodes.
