According to Deadline, Netflix’s Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story has stayed at number one on the Nielsen streaming charts for the week of May 8 through May 14, the series’ second week available to stream. Second was Jennifer Lopez’s (Hustlers, Shotgun Wedding) The Mother on Netflix.

The popularity of Queen Charlotte also increased viewership for Bridgerton. Seasons one and two of Bridgerton received 413 million minutes viewed this week. This puts it at number eight on Nielsen’s streaming originals list.
Queen Charlotte stars India Ria Amarteifio (The Evermoor Chronicles, Line of Duty), Corey Mylchreest (Elevator Pitch, The Sandman), Golda Rosheuvel (Death in Paradise, Playhouse Presents), Arsema Thomas (Redeeming Love, One Touch), Sam Clemmett (Cherry, Survivor), and Michelle Fairley (Game of Thrones, Gangs of London).

Third place on the Nielsen streaming charts was A Man Called Otto on Netflix with 1.2 billion minutes viewed.
Viewing of Ted Lasso on Apple TV+ was down with 670 million minutes viewed, however, it moved up a spot to seventh on the overall list. According to Deadline, Nielsen still predicts that Ted Lasso will reach a series record viewership for the season three finale, which aired on May 31.
The rest of the list included NCIS, Bluey, Cocomelon, and Sweet Tooth.
Prime Video’s Citadel is still missing from the list. Deadline reports that Amazon claims the series by the Russo Brothers is “one of the largest global audiences in the history of Prime Video.” Season one of the series is already Prime Video’s second most-watched new original series outside of the U.S. and is the fourth most-watched worldwide. Citadel has been renewed for a second season.
