Most-Watched Streaming TV Series: Top 10 for September 7–13, 2026

Even as the penultimate episode of the fourth season aired, Reacher was the most-watched streaming TV series in the United States. This is revealed by the new Top 10 lists released by the audience measurement company Nielsen, pertaining to the week from September 7 to 13, 2026. The Prime Video action drama was consumed for 1.18 billion minutes, clinching first place for the fourth time in the five weeks since the season’s debut and once again beating The Gentlemen on Netflix. With 881 million minutes watched, the British crime drama, however, improved by 22% versus the debut week of its second season.

Among licensed series, The Big Bang Theory stays at the top with another 971 million minutes watched, followed closely by Major Crimes, a series previously aired on TNT that was added to Netflix’s catalog in the United States on September 3. It is the spin-off of The Closer, a show that remained in the rankings for six weeks at the start of the year. On HBO Max, Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, the spin-off of The Big Bang Theory, continues to generate views insufficient to make the Top 10, likely more due to the limited episodes still available and their short length than for any other reason. Lanterns, on the other hand, secured eighth place with 525 million minutes watched, down 34% from the previous week. Here are the Top 10 lists, separated into original shows and acquired shows, followed by the overall Top 10.
