The Office Dominates Nielsen's Streaming Top 10

Although Netflix is no longer The Office's streaming home in the U.S. (that honor now belongs to Peacock), people sure got their mileage out of the popular sitcom's final days on Netflix according to the latest U.S. streaming numbers from Nielsen. The information, data, and measurement firm synonymous with TV ratings clocked the mockumentary sitcom about the fictional paper company in Scranton, Pennsylvania as a staggering 1.3 billion minutes for the period of December 7 to 13.

This is, it should be noted, also the seventh instance of The Office taking the top spot since the company started charting streaming last summer. And given the relative lag time on these numbers being reported, it would be reasonable to expect The Office (on Netflix, anyway) continued to carry weight through to the end of December.

The only spot on the top 10 not belonging to Netflix is the second place with another obvious entry: The Mandalorian, on Disney+, got nearly an even 1 billion minutes across the measured week in mid-December. With a massive amount of new Star Wars TV shows and movies making their way to Disney+ in the future, something Star Wars is likely to make repeat appearances on these Nielsen lists. Meanwhile, Schitt's Creek, which took the top spot in a recent ratings list, is still holding strong with 621 million minutes--ranking at 10 overall.

It will be interesting as the released Nielsen charts show how everything shook out with Wonder Woman 1984, Soul, and tons of other big releases that tested the waters with a streaming debut over the holidays.
