Outer Banks notched a repeat win in Nielsen’s U.S. streaming rankings for the week of August 9 to 15, though viewership dropped by about half in its second full week on Netflix. The 20 episodes of the mystery drama collected 1.16 billion total minutes of viewing, down from 2.1 billion in the previous week. The No. 2 finisher once again was All American, whose Netflix run began just after its third season had its linear finale on The CW. It pulled in 883 million minutes.
Outer Banks topped the Nielsen U.S. streaming chart for the week of Aug. 2-8 with nearly twice the viewing of its closest competitor. The Netflix original was in its first full week of streaming after its second season hit Netflix in late-July. It delivered 2.1 billion minutes of viewing across its 20 episodes. It joins an elite club of shows north of the 2 billion mark in a single week since Nielsen began reporting streaming numbers in mid-2020.
