There’s a reason Netflix reportedly spent $100 million securing additional rights through 2019 to 14-year-old episodes of former NBC sitcom, “Friends.”
People continue to binge-watch (four or more episodes of a show watched successively) episodes of the series that made cast members Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc and Courtney Cox household names, according to new data from TV Time.
How popular is “Friends”? TV Time said nearly 1.3 million people track the series through its app.
Other top series (in order) include “Grey’s Anatomy,” Netflix originals “13 Reasons Why” and “Money Heist,” The CW’s “Riverdale,” Fox’s “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “The 100” (CW), “Orange is the New Black” (Netflix), “The Big Bang Theory” (CBS) and “Pretty Little Liars” (Freeform).
