Netflix: ‘Ozark: Season 4’ Again Dominates Weekly Streaming

Netflix subscribers apparently can’t get enough of “Ozark,” which tracked more than 102 million hours across 82 countries, up 30% from the previous-week period — and enough to top all English-language content on Netflix for the week ended May 8.

The tally was also enough to best “Grace and Frankie” season seven with 23.1 million hours in its second week across 29 countries, and “Bridgerton” season two with 21.2 million hours across 58 countries.

Notably, despite its critical success and popularity on Netflix, “Ozark” doesn’t rank among the streamer’s all-time top 10 English-language series. Garner’s portrayal of fake German heiress Anna Sorokin in “Inventing Anna” ranks No. 6 with almost 512 million hours streamed after 28 days of release.

Among English-language movies, 365 Days: This Day with 27.5 million hours across 89 countries in its second week, followed by Paramount Pictures-licensed Sonic the Hedgehog with 17.1 million hours across 30 countries, and Silverton Siege with 11.1 million hours across 59 countries in its second week of release.

‘Inventing Anna’ Tops Nielsen Streaming Chart Week After Debut

Shondra Rhimes’ limited series “Inventing Anna” topped Nielsen’s weekly streaming chart the week after it launched on Netflix, tripling its viewership to nearly 3.3 billion minutes.

The prior week’s chart topper, the Amazon Original series “Reacher,” slipped to No. 5 during the week of Feb. 14 to 20.

“Inventing Anna” stars Anna Chlumsky as a journalist with a lot to prove who investigates the case of Anna Delvey (played by Julia Garner), the Instagram-legendary German heiress who stole the hearts of New York’s social scene, along with their money as well.

Another Netflix series, the dating reality series “Love Is Blind,” cracked the top 10 with a No. 2 chart debut — and more than 1.4 billion minutes streamed.

The No. 3 spot went to the animated Disney film Encanto, streaming exclusively on Disney+, with over 1.2 billion minutes.

“Ozark,” with just over 1 billion minutes streamed, placed fourth, while “Reacher” posted 935 million streaming minutes, down from nearly 1.6 billion minutes the prior week.

Among English-language documentaries, The Tinder Swindler retained its spot atop Netflix’s chart with almost 65 million hours streamed across 94 countries in its second week of release.
