The fourth season of Reacher muscled its way back to the top of the streaming charts.

The Prime Video series starring Alan Ritchson drew 1.5 billion minutes of viewing time in the week of Aug. 10-16. That number is for all seasons of Reacher, but Nielsen notes that 79 percent of that time — about 1.19 billion minutes — was devoted just to the three episodes of the new season that premiered Aug. 12. That still would have led the week.

The opening week for Reacher season four wasn’t quite as huge as prior seasons (which drew between 1.69 billion and 1.84 billion minutes), but it still goes down as the show’s fifth best showing ever in the Nielsen rankings.

Apple TV’s Ted Lasso (966 million viewing minutes) and Paramount+’s Lioness (955 million) both improved week to week and came in just under the billion-minute mark. Lioness also recorded its highest weekly total so far. YA shows My Life With the Walter Boys on Netflix (935 million) and Sterling Point on Prime Video (401 million) also grew in the week after their season premieres.
