Nielsen has announced its top 10 streaming charts for the United States from April 28th, 2025, to May 4th 2025. There are four different charts: Top 10 Originals, Acquired Shows, Movies, and a combined total chart.

With the release of the second three episodes of the second season of “Andor: A Star Wars Story”, moving the show up both the Originals and Overall chart.   It also highlights why the three-episode binge drop format helps with the Nielsen chart, especially with Netflix’s binge drops picking up huge numbers of minutes viewed.   “Andor” would also have benefited from its longer episodes and the fact that a first season is already available to viewers, all of which helped boost its overall viewership count.

The final season of “The Handmaids Tale” continues to perform well, making the originals chart, while “Moana 2” also continues to pull in decent viewership numbers on Disney+.  The original series, “Good American Family” also reentered the original chart.

Disney continues to dominate the acquired and overall charts, with Disney’s biggest hits “Grey’s Anatomy”, “The Rookie”, “Bluey” and “Family Guy”, making up the majority of these charts for Hulu and Hulu On Disney+, with “Grey’s Anatomy” topping the acquired chart once again.   “Moana 2” also continued to pull in audiences in the movie category.
