Remaining at No. 2 on the streaming originals chart was “How I Met Your Father.” Season two of the series starring Hilary Duff debuted on Hulu Jan. 24.

Falling from the top spot to No. 3 on the streaming originals chart was “1923,” a prequel to “Yellowstone” and a sequel to the series “1883.” The series stars Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren and follows a generation of the Dutton family in 1923, during the Western Expansion, Prohibition and the Great Depression, which started earlier in Montana. The last episode of the first season debuted Feb. 12.
The Universal Pictures/Blumhouse horror thriller M3GAN, streaming on Peacock starting Feb. 24, fell from the top spot to No. 2 on the streaming movies chart. It’s about a life-like artificial intelligence doll given to a young niece by her robotics engineer aunt (Allison Williams) after the girl’s parents are killed in an automobile accident.
Remaining at No. 3 on the streaming movies chart was Marvel Studios’ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which started streaming on Disney+ Feb. 1. In the film, as the nation of Wakanda mourns the death of T’Challa, Princess Shuri (Letitia Wright) and General Okoye (Danai Gurira) investigate the threat of Namor (Tenoch Huerta) and his long-hidden underwater kingdom of Talokan, whose cultural heritage might hold the secret to restoring the legacy of the Black Panther.
