Stranger Things on Netflix has come out on top of all the TV demand charts for the ninth consecutive week. The sci-fi series came in 149.91 points above average in Australia and 69.07 points in New Zealand, which is the biggest difference from the market average the series has experienced since its season four release.
Season three of The Boys on Amazon Prime has ranked second in Australia and New Zealand for a sixth week, with 38.65 points and 31.51 points, respectively. The season three finale aired on July 8, as a spin-off series titled Gen V has been confirmed.
Showrunner Eric Kripke told Forbes, “Gen V is an irreverent, R-rated series that explores the lives of hormonal, competitive Supes as they put their physical, sexual and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the best contracts in the best cities.”
Placing third in Australia’s digital originals this week is Hulu’s season two of Only Murders In The Building, with 21.42 points above average. The series is a mystery-comedy which follows three strangers played by Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez, who share an obsession with a true crime podcast. Following a suspicious death in their affluent Upper West Side apartment building, the three neighbours start their own podcast about their investigation of the death, which the police ruled a suicide. The series has been renewed for a third season.
Over in New Zealand’s digital originals, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds took out the third spot, clocking 17.69 points above average, while Disney+’s Obi-wan Kenobi fell from third to fourth to come in 16.81 points above average.
Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy has maintained its fifth position in Australia after its season three release on June 22, with a difference of 20.24 points. The superhero series is based on the comic book series of the same name and stars Elliot Page, Aidan Gallagher and Robert Sheehan.
In overall TV shows, Better Caul Saul has ranked third with a difference of 28.45 in Australia and 23.2 in New Zealand. Love Island UK remains at fourth on the TV demand charts with 22.55 points.
