In this article, we will discuss the most streamed show in November, which is the animated children’s show “Bluey,” which achieved 3.8 billion minutes of viewing across any streaming platform during the month, according to new Nielsen data. This show has dethroned the legal drama series “Suits,” which had achieved tens of billions of viewing minutes to hold the title for the past four months.
Key Information
“Bluey” was the most streamed show in November, followed by “Grey’s Anatomy” on Netflix with 3.7 billion minutes, and “Suits” on both Netflix and Peacock with 3.3 billion minutes across both services, and “Friends” on Max, which was watched for 3 billion minutes.
The new data indicates a decline in the popularity of “Suits,” starring Gabriel Macht, Patrick Adams, and Meghan Markle, which ended in 2019 but enjoyed four months at the top of the streaming charts when it premiered on Netflix in July.
“Suits” became the most-watched show on Netflix that it acquired (rather than self-produced) with 3.1 billion minutes of viewing in a single week, according to Nielsen, joining a list of titles such as “You,” “Gilmore Girls,” and “Schitt’s Creek,” which enjoyed a rise in popularity after hitting the platform.
Main Background
“Bluey” was commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) as a show for preschool viewers. It premiered on ABC Kids in Australia in 2018, and Disney acquired the international rights in 2019. The show follows the story of a puppy named Bluey and her family, along with her best friend, Dalmatian Chloe, her Labrador neighbor Lucky, and her school friend, border collie Mackenzie. The series premiered on Disney Junior in the United States in 2019 and was added to Disney+ in 2020. The show received approval from Common Sense Media and widespread critical acclaim and became a box office hit, as it became the most downloaded program in the history of ABC’s on-demand video service in 2019. The BBC studios attributed their record annual revenue of $2.7 billion in July to “thriving brands like ‘Bluey’ and ‘Dancing With the Stars’.” The national public broadcaster in Ireland, RTÉ, reported that Australian company Moose Toys attributed a 25% increase in annual revenues to the success of “Bluey” merchandise after securing a contract to produce toys based on the show.
What to Watch
New episodes of “Bluey” will arrive on Disney+ on January 12, 2024, marking the first release of new content since July.
