Kids only seemed to want to watch one show on Netflix in the latter half of 2023.
The streamer’s latest data dump – read more here – reveals that episodes of Moonbug Entertainment’s CoComelon were watched more than 200 million times from July to December, with all eight seasons appearing in the top 100.
The figure is difficult to compare with other shows due to the fact that episodes of CoComelon are so short – coming in at only a few minutes each – but taken together it is likely the highest number of any show in the top 100 across all seasons. The eighth season of CoComelon alone was watched 37.6 million times and most seasons feature in the top 50.
Starting life on YouTube, the show features children, adults and animals who sing songs and nursery rhymes and go about their daily lives. It has been a huge success for Candle Media-owned Moonbug, which has expanded rapidly since its launch,...

Dystopian thriller “Leave the World Behind” was the most-watched film — and title overall — on Netflix globally in the second half of 2023, while anime-inspired live action series “One Piece” led on the TV side among individual series seasons.
The data comes from Netflix’s second edition of “What We Watched: A Netflix Engagement Report,” reflecting viewership on the streamer from July-December 2023 covering 99% of all viewing on Netflix. Subscribers across the world watched about 90 billion hours of Netflix in the second half of 2023, compared with 93 billion hours in the first half of the year.
Netflix released its first big data dump, covering the first half of 2023, last December. In the second report, released Thursday, the company has added runtime and views (total hours viewed divided by runtime) and separated films and TV series, syncing it up with its weekly Top 10 and Most Popular lists.

Monkeypaw Productions’ of Justin Tipping’s Him will hit theaters on Friday, Sept. 19, 2025. Currently, it’s the only wide release on that weekend. That’s the second Universal title on the calendar for that month next year after Gabby’s Dollhouse on Sept. 26.
Him comes from the Black List screenplay by Zack Akers & Skip Bronkie (creators of the sci-fi crime series Limetown) and follows a promising young football player, who is invited to train at the isolated compound of a dynasty team’s aging QB1.
Marlon Wayans stars as the legendary quarterback, and former college athlete Tyriq Withers plays his protégé. Pic also stars Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, comedian Jim Jefferies (The Jim Jefferies Show), and hip hop phenoms Guapdad 4000 and Grammy nominee Tierra Whack, both in their feature film debuts.
Him is produced by Ian Cooper, Jordan Peele (Nope, Get Out), Win Rosenfeld and Jamal M. Watson for Monkeypaw Productions and is executive produced by David Kern (The Bikeriders, Flamin’ Hot) and Monkeypaw’s Kate Oh.
Monkeypaw currently has the Dev Patel feature, Monkey Man, in theaters where it has grossed over $33M worldwide.

If you don’t have kids, you may not have heard of “Gabby’s Dollhouse.” If you have a preschooler, it has likely become a welcome upgrade from the “Cocomelon” of your child’s nursery school days.
No intended shade at “Cocomelon,” the other monster hit for Netflix in the kids space. “Cocomelon” is simplistic animation set to familiar nursery rhymes — it’s a low lift both in terms of production and consumption. “Gabby’s,” a combination of (a little) live-action and (a lot of) animation, is a child’s entry point into storytelling and imaginative play. It was for my kids — and millions of others.
For 2023, the top 5 children’s series on streaming ranked like this, per Nielsen:
“Bluey” (43.9 billion minutes streamed on Disney+) “Cocomelon” (36.3 billion minutes streamed on Netflix) “SpongeBob Squarepants” (19.8 billion minutes streamed on Paramount+) “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” (13.9 billion minutes streamed on Disney+) “Gabby’s Dollhouse” (12.8 billion minutes...

Netflix’s 3 Body Problem delivered its second straight No. 1 showing among streaming titles, leading the rankings for the last week of March. The acquired series top 10 had several new entrants, thanks in part to a change in how Nielsen reports the numbers.
The ratings service says it made an “enhancement” to its Streaming Content Ratings, which is the basis for the weekly top 10 lists, that results in a number of programs being added to the Scr product. (They weren’t previously “due to business agreements which preceded the rankings, coupled with the associated technical aspects of measurement.”) The affected programs stream mostly on Hulu and Peacock after airing on linear networks.
The upshot is that former Fox series The Resident (1.48 billion minutes on Hulu and Netflix) and animated mainstays Family Guy (837 million minutes on Hulu) and American Dad (619 million on Hulu) all made their first appearance in the top...

Gabby and her cats are coming to the big screen next year.
DreamWorks Animation and Universal revealed Thursday that Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie will open nationwide on Sept. 26, 2025.
The live-action/CGI series has been a smash hit for Netflix since its debut in 2021. Created by Traci Paige Johnson and Jennifer Twomey, Gabby’s Dollhouse is a mixed-media preschool adventure that centers on a 12-year-old who, after unboxing an item, uses the power of her magical cat ears to shrink down to dollhouse size and go on adventures with the help of her animated cat friends. The show operates with a narrative ethos of flexible thinking and learning from your mistakes, and does so through a mix of things like music, dance, cooking and crafting.

DreamWorks Animation production workers are joining their artist and technician colleagues in being represented by the Animation Guild and their editor colleagues in being represented by the Motion Picture Editors Guild.
In an election with the National Labor Relations Board, 94 production workers who work on television and feature films at the brand voted to join the two IATSE Locals, while 41 voted against unionization. Of the 160 workers who are now unionized with IATSE as a result of the vote, about a dozen will join the Motion Picture Editors Guild (Local 700) because they work in postproduction, while other production staffers whose roles align more with artists, technical directors and writers will join the Animation Guild (Local 839). The tally of ballots took place on March 26.

The two big original releases on Netflix this month are Spaceman and 3 Body Problem. In Spaceman, Adam Sandler plays an astronaut alone and far from home who desperately wants to fix things with his wife. When he discovers an enormous alien spider in the bowels of his ship, a conversation between the two gets underway, and Sandler has a chance to make some big changes. To be clear: this is not a comedy!
Meanwhile, new sci-fi series 3 Body Problem hails from Game of Thrones co-creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. Along with True Blood writer Alexander Woo, they’ve spun a tale that is set to blow your mind this March. Your mileage may vary, but it certainly looks interesting! And hey, we all love the show’s star, Benedict Wong.

In a report analyzing TV viewership in the U.S. throughout 2023, Nielsen found that “Suits” beat a record previously held by “The Office” for number of minutes watched in a single year.
The legal drama racked up 57.7 billion total minutes watched in 2023, putting it just ahead of the 57.1 billion minutes of viewership accumulated by “The Office” in 2020. When comparing total time watched, though, projects with more episodes and/or longer episodes stand at an obvious advantage. The entirety of “Suits” runs for about 83 hours, which would mean it had an easier time reaching that 57 billion-minute mark than “The Office” did with about 73 hours of content.
Still, both the old record and the new one speak to Netflix’s ubiquity in the streaming landscape. “The Office” aired its final episode on NBC in 2013 but continued to reach a huge audience until it was removed from Netflix at the start of 2021 and...

The streaming gods have smiled on Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
The Disney+ series based on author Rick Riordan’s best-selling books opened to a good-sized audience in the week before Christmas. The first two episodes, which debuted the evening of Dec. 19, drew about 572 million minutes of watch time, according to Nielsen’s streaming ratings. With a combined run time of 80 minutes, that works out to about 7.15 million complete runs (or “views” as currently defined by much of the industry) of the two episodes in the United States.
Disney had earlier said that the first episode had earned 13.3 million views worldwide — equivalent to a little more than 505 million minutes — over its first six days. The Nielsen figures for the premiere put Percy Jackson ahead of Disney+’s last two Marvel premieres, Secret Invasion (461 million minutes) and season two of Loki (446 million), in total viewing time.
Prime Video’s Reacher moved up to the overall No.

When Netflix released its first-ever Engagement Report — a revealing look into what (and how much) people are watching within the streamer’s film and TV catalog — live-action adult and young adult series like Ginny and Georgia, The Night Agent and Fubar were among those that topped nearly a billion hours watched.
But between January and June 2023, seasons of animated originals Sonic Prime, Gabby’s Dollhouse, Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse, My Dad the Bounty Hunter and The Creature Cases also ranked among the 500 most-viewed series (out of 18,000), as did acquisitions like Paw Patrol, CoComelon, Pj Masks and Peppa Pig.
And while much of the streamer’s most popular animated content came from its kids and family programming, the report reveals new and previously released seasons of adult animation and anime entries like Castlevania, Love, Death & Robots, Bee and Puppycat, Disenchantment, Big Mouth, and Skull Island were among the top 22 percent of watched titles.

As the year winds down, it’s time to look back at Netflix’s biggest hits, and today, we begin by looking into what kids’ TV shows picked up the most points in the Netflix top 10s over the past 12 months.
This list is compiled using FlixPatrol data collected from the daily top 10s on Netflix from over 80 countries around the globe. They assign points and values to each title that gets featured on any day. Their data isn’t perfect as their method doesn’t quite fully capture the complexity of viewership data, such as total watch time, repeat viewings, or demographic details of the audience. Also worth noting is that Netflix changed up its top 10 metrics midway through the year to favor views over pure viewing hours. That said, their data provides a pretty accurate snapshot of what performed best over a long period.

DreamWorks Animation has eliminated about 70 of its positions, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
“DreamWorks Animation reduced its workforce by approximately 70 positions,” a spokesperson told THR. “Roles affected were across corporate functions, feature, television and technology departments as part of an overall cost reduction.”
The news comes as Dwa readies its Nov. 17 release of Trolls Band Together, the third film in the hit franchise. Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake reprise their roles in the film, which also features the first new ‘N Sync song in more than two decades.
Earlier this year, Dwa released Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken, which stalled at the box office, taking in $44.7 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo.
The studio had more success the previous year with Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, which pulled in $481 million worldwide and racked up a slew of awards, including an Oscar nomination for best animated feature film.

The newest Star Wars series on Disney+, Ahsoka, delivered a sizable viewing audience during its opening week. Suits continued its summer-long run as the top overall title.
The first two episodes of Ahsoka, starring Rosario Dawson as the title character, had 829 million minutes of viewing in the United States for the week of Aug. 21-27. With a total running time of 100 minutes over the two installments, that translates to about 8.29 million complete showings of the two. (Disney+ said the first episode alone gathered the equivalent of 14 million complete plays worldwide over its first five days.)
Ahsoka’s 829 million minutes of viewing ranks second among Disney+ Star Wars shows for their series premiere weeks, behind the 1.03 billion for Obi-Wan Kenobi in May 2022.

The Mandalorian offshoot — with its double-episode, Tuesday-night premiere — racked up 829 million minutes viewed for the week of Monday, Aug. 21. Ashoka thus bested Andor‘s triple-episode debut (which last September garnered 624 million minutes viewed in its first week) and The Mandalorian Season 3’s opening week (823 million minutes), yet fell well shy of Obi-Wan Kenobi‘s double-episode premiere (1.03 billion minutes).

Suits extended one streak on the streaming TV charts for Aug. 14-20, but another one came to a close.
The legal drama, which streams on Netflix and Peacock, was the top title in Nielsen’s weekly rankings for the ninth consecutive week. It more than doubled the viewing time total of its the second-place show, Netflix’s Painkiller.
The total viewing time for Suits, however, dipped below 3 billion minutes for the first time since the week of June 19-25 — to a still very strong 2.84 billion minutes. The series had set a Nielsen record for the most consecutive weeks over 3 billion minutes of viewing at seven; only two other shows (Outer Banks and The Night Agent) have hit that mark in 2023, and for only one week each.
Painkiller led the original series top 10 with 1.12 billion minutes of watch time, while the prior week’s leader, The Lincoln Lawyer, slipped to second place with 768 million minutes.

In its first four days of availability, Netflix’s “One Piece” live-action adaptation of the Japanese manga quickly sailed to the top of Netflix’s top 10 chart with 18.5 million total views. During the Aug. 28-Sept. 3 viewing window, the series reached the Top 10 in 93 countries, and debuted at No. 1 in 46 with 140.1 million hours viewed.

The series’ big opening pushed “Who is Erin Carter?,” which previously opened at No.1 on the chart last week, down to second place with 15.8 million views.

I hope you’re sitting down for this one: my daughters, 3 and 6, are Disney fans. Perhaps you’ve read. Grandmas aside, Disney+ is a go-to babysitter, one without peer in the streaming game. I guess what I’m saying is, Bob Iger, bring on the price hikes because we’re not going anywhere — we barely have a choice.
At $6.99/month, ad-free Disney+ was an absolute steal at launch (November 2019; the ads didn’t come for another three years). The increase to $7.99 was totally fine; hell, we didn’t flinch at $10.99. With two kids, a mortgage, and respective careers in the lucrative fields of education and journalism, my wife and I don’t want to pay $13.99/month; but come October 12, we will. And when Disney inevitably raises prices again, we’ll probably pay that too.

Two years after co-starring in Netflix‘s hit “Red Notice” with Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot is back in the Top 10 charts for the week of August 7 with her action-thriller “Heart of Stone.” Read on for this week’s analysis.
Gadot’s undeniable star power was on full display as “Heart of Stone” only premiered on the streamer this past Friday, and it was able to easily top the English-language list with 33.1 million views worldwide. It was the #1 watched film in most of the Americas (except Canada), Africa, Asia and Europe, and a great start for what should be another Netflix hit. “Red Notice” is famously Netflix’s most-watched movie ever, with 230.9 million global views total, but “Heart of Stone” will give Gadot a good opportunity to show that she doesn’t need the boys to get viewers watching.

DreamWorks Animation has found a new home at Universal Orlando Resort, as the theme park announced the impending arrival of a DreamWorks Animation-themed land set to debut in 2024.
The theme park said Thursday that guests will “share special moments with their favorite characters like Gabby from ‘Gabby’s Dollhouse’ and explore themed, interactive play spaces and attractions that bring popular franchises like ‘Shrek,’ ‘Trolls’ and ‘Kung Fu Panda’ to life in the most imaginatively fun ways.”
The area will take over what was formerly known as Woody Woodpecker’s KidZone, over by E.T. Adventure.

Dreamworks Animation is getting its own themed land at Universal Studios Orlando.
The NBCUniversal theme park — part of the Universal Destinations & Experiences division — says that it will open a themed land based on the NBCU-owned animation studio’s intellectual property in 2024.
Dreamworks Animation is behind projects like the Shrek and Trolls franchises, Kung-Fu Panda, and Gabby’s Dollhouse. Characters from all of those franchises will be featured in the four acre land.
NBCUniversal has been leaning into its IP as it develops its theme parks in Orlando and elsewhere, with a particular focus on family-friendly IP. Last month it opened a Minion-themed land in Orlando, and earlier this year the company announced plans to build a family-friendly theme park on 100 acres in Frisco, Texas.
Dreamworks Animation, with its small but significant stable of IP, makes sense as a destination land for the Universal park.
But Universal has also been aggressive with its acquired theme park IP.

In February 2013, Dreamworks Animation Television teamed with Netflix on its first-ever children’s and family series, Turbo Fast. Just four months later, the studio and streamer would unveil a multiyear content deal — 300 hours of exclusive original, first-run content.
The pact was the official beginning of the television animation studio and at that time, the largest content deal in the streamer’s history. One of the most significant signs of the rise and permanence of the streaming era, the deal heralded a new age for the kids and family content industry.
Dreamworks Animation TV and current Dwa president Margie Cohn’s team would spend the next decade steering the studio through that and an NBC Universal acquisition, producing more than 2,100 episodes of animated programming across 43 series and partnering with Netflix, Apple TV+, Hulu, Peacock, Amazon and free-to-air broadcasters around the globe.

Netflix’s Beef enjoyed a strong first week in Nielsen’s streaming rankings, coming close to the billion-minute mark in viewing time. The Night Agent cooled off some but spent a third week at No. 1 overall, and The Mandalorian improved for the second week in a row.
Beef, starring Ali Wong and Steven Yeun, drew 962 million minutes of viewing time for the week of April 3-9 (it premiered April 6). The show, which earned widespread critical praise, finished fourth overall for the week. (The series also sparked controversy when past remarks about sexual assault by co-star David Choe resurfaced. Choe later said he made up the story, and Wong and Yeun said in an April 21 statement that they “do not condone this story in any way” while adding they have seen Choe seek support “to better himself and learn from his mistakes.”)
