Nielsen Streaming Top 10: ‘Loki’ Viewership Jumps 35% After Season 2 Finale, Landing at No. 4
The Season 2 finale of “Loki” earned it the fourth spot on Nielsen’s weekly streaming rankings with a 35% viewership increase from the week before. From Nov. 6-12, including the finale’s first four days of availability, the Marvel series was viewed for 753 million minutes on Disney+.
This also makes “Loki” the No. 1 streaming original series for the week of Nov. 6-12, though it was beat on the overall chart by three acquired titles. With 918 million minutes watched, animated preschool series “Bluey” shot back up to No. 1 after several months floating among the top four titles, and “Grey’s Anatomy” took second place with 897 million minutes watched. After a historic summer and early fall of No. 1 wins, “Suits” is continuing its slow fall, this week clocking in at 826 million minutes watched.
