Coming in second place on this list was Grey’s Anatomy, with 40.9 billion minutes streamed, and Stranger Things was just behind that with 39.9 billion minutes streamed on Netflix. Rounding out the Top 10 list were NCIS with 36.9 billion minutes, SpongeBob SquarePants with 34.3 billion minutes, Bob’s Burgers with 34 billion minutes, Family Guy with 33.3 billion minutes, The Big Bang Theory with 32.4 billion minutes, Law & Order: SVU with 28.7 billion minutes, and Criminal Minds with 24 billion minutes streamed in 2025.

Behind Stranger Things on the most-streamed original series list were Netflix’s Squid Game with 22.4 billion, Wednesday with 20 billion, Landman with 18.8 billion on Paramount+, Reacher with 15.6 billion on Prime Video, Ginny & Georgia with 14.2 billion, Love Island USA with 13.4 billion, The Night Agent with 13.1 billion, Love Is Blind with 12.5 billion, and Gabby’s Dollhouse with 11.9 billion minutes streamed.

On the movies side, animation also ruled the world, with KPop Demon Hunters earning top honors at 20.5 billion minutes watched. Moana 2 was the second-hottest film of the year on streaming, with 9.43 billion minutes on Disney+, and Happy Gilmore 2 had an impressive 7.1 billion minutes watched on Netflix.
