Netflix’s original period drama “Bridgerton,” from producer Chris Van Dusen under Shonda Rhymes’ production company, topped Nielsen’s weekly Top 10 chart (Dec. 28, 2020 to Jan. 3, 2021) of the most streamed programs on household televisions. The eight-episode series tallied 2.648 billion minutes streamed, topping “Cobra Kai” with 2.6 billion across 30 episodes, and “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” with 961 million minutes across 36 episodes.
Netflix again dominated content streaming on the television, with Disney’s “The Mandalorian” as the lone non-Netflix program on the chart with 707 minutes across 16 episodes.
