Nielsen releases 2022’s most-viewed series/movies rankings; “Stranger Things” leads two charts: streaming original & overall.
The steady influx of original content was the main driver behind the growth. Nielsen reports that Americans streamed 19.4 million years of content in 2022, a 27% increase from the previous year. The growth was fueled by a rise in original series, as viewing minutes for top original content far exceeded top acquired content.
