"Australian-made animated series Bluey was the most streamed show in the US for the second year in a row, topping Nielsen's annual year-end streaming charts for 2025. US viewers watched 45.2bn minutes of the show on Disney+ according to Nielsen, down from 55.62bn in 2024, but still impressive given the show comprises 154 episodes most of them less than 10 minutes' long."
"Grey's Anatomy was ranked second place for the second year in a row with 40.9bn minutes watched, which is 455 episodes of about 40 minutes each. The continued dominance of both shows reflect a broader trend in streaming: library series. Nine out of Nielsen's top 10 rankings are long-running shows with large back catalogues, including chart stalwarts Family Guy, NCIS and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."
"Netflix's Stranger Things was the only original series to make the top 10 this year, with just under 40bn minutes watched, buoyed by the release of its fifth and final season in November and December. It's worth noting that Nielsen's 2025 calendar ended on 28 December, meaning Stranger Things's tally doesn't include the series finale, which dropped on New Year's Eve."
Bluey led Nielsen's 2025 US year-end streaming charts with 45.2 billion minutes watched on Disney+, down from 55.62 billion in 2024. The series comprises 154 episodes, most under ten minutes. Grey's Anatomy ranked second with 40.9 billion minutes, equivalent to roughly 455 episodes of about 40 minutes each. Nine of Nielsen's top ten shows were long-running library series with extensive back catalogues, including Family Guy, NCIS and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Stranger Things was the only original series in the top ten, nearing 40 billion minutes after its fifth-season release. Bluey's creator stepped back in 2024 but will write and direct a 2027 feature film.
