SEAL Team Hits Nielsen Streaming Top 10 for First Time, With Final-Season Debut
With the double-episode premiere of its final season, SEAL Team finally breached Nielsen’s U.S. ranking of streaming originals.
For the week of Aug. 12, the Paramount+ military drama racked up 309 million minutes viewed across 107 available episodes, which was good enough for the No. 9 spot on Nielsen’s ranking of originals.
Nielsen notes that SEAL Team’s streaming audience skews slightly male, and almost two-thirds of the viewers were over 50 years old 🙋🏻♂️
Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy stayed atop the originals chart for a second straight week, with 1.4 billion minutes viewed across 36 total episodes. It was followed by Netflix’s American Murder: Laci Peterson (877 million minutes viewed/three episodes), Netflix’s Emily in Paris (792 million minutes viewed), Netflix’s Love Is Blind: UK (523 million minutes) and Love Island (404 million minutes across Hulu, Netflix and Peacock).
Rounding out the Top 10 originals for the week of Aug. 12 were Prime Video’s The Boys, Hulu’s Futurama, Evil on Paramount+ and Netflix, SEAL Team, and Netflix’s Blue Ribbon Baking Championship.
Over on Nielsen’s overall streaming ranking, Prison Break again dominated with 1.6 billion minutes viewed across Hulu and Netflix, while Fire Country leapt three spots to No. 4, with 1.2 billion minutes viewed on Paramount+ and Netflix.

I love Seal Team, it is unlike any series I have ever seen. The cast is perfect, the reality of what Seals do us amazing and Patriotic. The bond Seal Team guys have is awesome. I believe this cast also has a bond of being brothers and sisters as well!! The Veterans they have on set the true HEROS like Tyler Grey and Scott Foxx is making it real. I think the success of this series may not be duplicated by anyone. I will sadly watch reruns forever!! I love all of you guys!!!
