The final week of Love Island USA‘s eighth season was the show’s biggest one on record — for the second time this season.
The Peacock hit recorded just under 2 billion minutes of viewing time (1.997 billion, to be precise) for the week of July 6-12, according to Nielsen’s streaming ratings. That’s a little above its previous high of 1.97 billion minutes, set two weeks earlier. Love Island finished atop the overall chart for the fourth time in its six weeks of new episodes this season, during which it accumulated 10.73 billion viewing minutes — up about 23 percent vs. last season.
Peacock had two shows in the top 10 original series for the week: The Five Star Weekend, which premiered July 9, drew 629 million minutes of watch time to finish fifth. Peacock has renewed the show for a second season.
Netflix’s Little House on the Prairie reboot finished second among original series (and third overall) with 926 million minutes for its opening week (season two is currently filming). House of the Dragon hit the midway point of its third season with 969 million minutes of viewing on HBO Max, its best mark this year and good enough to lead the acquired series chart (Nielsen classifies the show that way because it airs simultaneously on HBO’s cable channel).
