Nielsen: ‘Manifest’ Edges ‘The Crown’ as Top Weekly Streamed TV Content Through Nov. 13

Netflix’s launch of an original fourth and final season for erstwhile NBC supernatural commercial airline series “Manifest” continues to resonate with household TV streamers. Viewers consumed almost 2.9 billion minutes across 52 episodes for the week ended Nov. 13, up 7% from 1.37 billion minutes in the previous-week season four debut.

The show just barely edged the launch of the fifth season of Netflix’s award-winning “The Crown,” which showcases the British monarchy. Viewers consumed almost 2.13 billion minutes across 50 episodes for the week, which was more than enough to best the streamer’s reality-based dating game “Love is Blind,” with 1.27 billion minutes.

Nielsen: Netflix’s ‘Manifest’ Found New Life Atop Weekly Chart Through Nov. 6

The fourth and final season of NBC supernatural aviation thriller “Manifest” on Netflix features 20 episodes released in two 10-episode dumps, the first of which was released Nov. 4. The 52-episode series bundle topped 1.37 billion minutes viewed for the week ended Nov. 6 to rank No. 1 atop Nielsen’s streaming chart.

The series, about a commercial airliner that returns more than five years after being presumed vanished for good, bested reality dating show “Love is Blind,” with more than 1.22 billion minutes viewed across 38 episodes.

NBC canceled “Manifest” in 2021 after three seasons. Netflix acquired the streaming rights and then commissioned a final season. Both “Manifest” and “Blind” were the only titles to top 1 billion minutes viewed following last week’s chart with five shows each above the 10-figure amount.

The most streamed movie across household televisions was Netflix sequel Enola Holmes 2 with 855 million minutes viewed.

Nielsen: Disney’s ‘Cruella’ Bows Atop Weekly Streamed Movies Through Aug. 29

Disney’s Cruella was the top-streamed movie in Nielsen households the week ended Aug. 29, generating 815 million minutes of streaming. The title, starring Emma Stone, was made available free to Disney+ subscribers on Aug. 27. The movie was originally released May 28 in theaters and as a $29.99 Premier Access Disney+ add-on.

Netflix again generated the most minutes streamed during the week: 1.38 billion minutes across 42 episodes for licensed former NBC primetime series “Manifest.” The time almost doubles the 705 million minutes streamed across the same number of episodes in the week ended Aug. 22.

Netflix began streaming the show — about a commercial flight that returns after five years — at the conclusion of the third season on NBC. Netflix recently greenlighted a fourth and final season, which will be produced by Warner Television.

Among original episodic programming, Netflix new original series, “Clickbait,” topped all competitors with 912 million minutes streamed across eight episodes. The series weaves between virtual and real identity, when family man Nick Brewer (Adrian Grenier) is abducted in a crime with a sinister online twist. The series also stars Zoe Kazan (“The Kindness of Strangers”) and Betty Gabriel (Get Out), among others.

Netflix Picks Ups Fourth, Final Season of ‘Manifest’

Netflix has made a habit of rescuing canceled network TV series for a second life on SVOD. The latest is shuttered NBC supernatural airplane disaster show “Manifest,” which the Peacock network ended last June after three seasons.

The series plotline revolves around the passengers and crew of a commercial airliner who suddenly reappear after being presumed dead for more than five years. As those aboard reintegrate into society, they experience guiding voices and visions of events yet to occur, and soon a deeper mystery unfolds. The show’s cast includes Melissa Roxburgh, Josh Dallas, Athena Karkanis and J.R. Ramirez, among others.

Netflix Aug. 30 announced it has picked up a fourth and final season of the show, which has been a ratings winner for the SVOD behemoth, according to Nielsen. Indeed, the series tracked nearly 11 billion minutes streamed across 29 episodes (two seasons) over a seven-week period between July and August. The numbers bested Netflix original programming, in addition to high-profile competitors, including Disney+ original series “Loki,” among others.

Netflix will likely stream season three ahead of the fourth season, which reportedly will include 20 episodes divided over two seasons. A release date for all-new “Manifest” episodes on Netflix has not been announced.

Other shuttered TV series Netflix has rescued and/or re-imagined include: “Designated Survivor,” “Lucifer,” “Arrested Development,” “Longmire,” “The Killing,” “Gilmore Girls,” “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” and “Fuller House,” among others.

Nielsen: Amazon’s ‘The Tomorrow War,’ Netflix’s ‘Manifest’ Top Weekly At-Home Streaming Through July 4

Licensed Netflix series “Manifest” continued its strong run on the SVOD pioneer, generating 1.86 billion minutes of streaming minutes across 29 episodes on Nielsen’s streaming tracking chart the week ended July 4. The former NBC TV primetime series has ranked atop the Nielsen SVOD chart for three consecutive weeks.

Amazon Prime Video’s The Tomorrow War, starring  Chris Pratt (Jurassic World) topped weekly streamed movies with 1.23 billion minutes. The Paramount Pictures movie was licensed to Prime Video when Paramount concluded a box office release in the current pandemic market was untenable.

Finally, four episodes of Disney+ original series “Loki” topped the last season of Amazon’s first original series “Bosch,” with 813 million minutes across four episodes, compared with 490 million minutes across 64 episodes.

Nielsen: ‘Manifest,’ ‘Downton Abbey’ Re-Runs Hit Streaming Home Run

Network television re-runs continue to generate audiences on streaming channels. Former NBC prime time series “Manifest” dominated weekly streaming on Netflix across household televisions for the week ended June 20. The show’s 29 episodes generated a whopping 2.49 billion minutes — outdistancing 50 episodes of “Downton Abbey” with 1.25 billion minutes, also on Netflix.

Together, the two series easily surpassed six high-profile original newcomers, including “Loki” with 886 million minutes on Disney+; Netflix’s “Lucifer” (703 million across 83 episodes) and “Sweet Tooth” (626 million across eight episodes); Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” (505 million across 46 episodes); Netflix’s “Workin’ Moms” (418 million across 57 episodes); and French-language “Lupin” (363 million across 9 episodes).

Among top-streamed movies, Disney’s Luca scored a strong 1.57 billion minutes, easily topping Netflix’s Fatherhood (877 million minutes) and Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon (576 million) combined.

Survey: More Than One-Third of Streaming Subscribers Share Accounts

More than one-third of streaming subscribers (37%)  share their accounts with people they do not live with, according to new data from The Manifest, a B2B news and how-to website. This includes family members (25%), close friends/partners (10%) and acquaintances/strangers they do not live with (2%).

The Manifest surveyed 401 people in the United States about their streaming habits between April 7-10, 2020.

Overall, three-quarters of streaming customers (74%) share their account with at least one other person, either within or outside of their household.

Echoing other surveys during the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly half (47%) of streaming subscribers in the Manifest survey said they have increased their time on streaming platforms in the past 30 days. Meanwhile, 36% say their streaming time has remained the same, and 5% say they watch less streaming content than before.

Netflix is the most popular streaming service, with 75% of people saying they pay for it. The next most popular streaming services are Amazon Prime Video (56%) and Hulu (40%).
