The week of March 16-22 featured a milestone in Nielsen’s streaming ratings.
Grey’s Anatomy ranked among the top 10 acquired series for the 320th time, pulling in 918 million minutes of viewing time on Hulu and Netflix. It already held the record for most appearances on the streaming charts, but 320 — the equivalent of six years and eight weeks — is a nice, round number. The show is on a streak of 24 consecutive weeks in the rankings, which follows a run of 120 weeks that ended in October 2025.
Topping the charts for March 16-22 was Virgin River, which came in with 1.59 billion minutes of viewing, up about 15 percent from its season seven premiere a week earlier. Tyler Perry’s drama Beauty in Black returned to the charts with the back half of its second season, scoring 1.42 billion viewing minutes. About 77 percent of that total was for the eight new episodes that premiered March 19. One Piece (1.27 billion minutes) and The Pitt (1.14 billion) also had a billon-plus minutes on the series side.
The Madison, Taylor Sheridan’s latest show for Paramount+, premiered with 979 million viewing minutes for its six-episode season. Prime Video’s Invincible (494 million) also made a return to the rankings with the March 18 debut of its fourth season.
On the movie chart, Zootopia 2 had a second straight billion-minute week for Disney+, accumulating 1.31 billion minutes. Sinners (284 million minutes) and One Battle After Another (211 million), both on HBO Max, moved back into the top 10 the week after they each won multiple Oscars.
