Mission accomplished for The Night Agent.
With the release of its second season, the Netflix hit dominated Nielsen’s U.S. ranking of streaming originals for the week of Jan. 20, with 3.11 billion minutes viewed across 20 episodes — a weekly high for the series.
Nielsen notes that little over half of Night Agent viewers were aged 35-64, with another 27% falling into the 65+ range.
Placing a distant second this week was Netflix’s Squid Game (with 822 million minutes viewed/16 episodes), followed by Netflix’s American Primeval (713 million minutes/six episodes), Paramount+’s Landman (623 million minutes/10 episodes) and Apple TV+’s Severance (622 million minutes/11 available episodes).
Severance’s audience was evenly split between male and female, with the bulk of it (71%) falling into the 18-49 age range.
Rounding out the Top 10 streaming originals for the week of Jan. 20 were Netflix’s XO Kitty, Peacock’s The Traitors, Prime Video’s Beast Games, Netflix’s Virgin River and the chart debut of Prime Video’s half-hour procedural On Call (297 million minutes viewed across eight episodes).
