Netflix has picked up streaming rights to Glitch Studios‘ megaviral animation series The Amazing Digital Circus—but, unlike with most deals it signs, it’s giving up exclusivity and isn’t going to pull Tadc off original home YouTube. In fact, moving forward, all episodes of Tadc will premiere for free on YouTube and for subscription on Netflix on the very same day.

Netflix has done this sort of deal before with preschool hit Cocomelon, which also found its first home on YouTube and drives 2 billion views a month there. As part of that partnership, Netflix developed its own exclusive Cocomelon series, Cocomelon Lane, but also airs the same content folks can find for free on YouTube.

That approach is the same one it’s taking with Tadc, and it’s a big difference for a streamer that normally produces its own shows in-house, or acquires outside productions for pretty...

Netflix released its semi-annual data dump on Thursday, unveiling viewership for the streamer’s biggest hits — and not so big releases — from January through June of 2024.

While the most-watched seasons of TV during the six-month interval included “Fool Me Once,” “Bridgerton” Season 3, “Baby Reindeer” and “The Gentlemen,” a group of winners have arisen from the data dump, including children’s TV as a whole — including “Peppa Pig” — “Young Sheldon” and buzzy crime docs like “Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal.”

As the streamer continues to bolster its live event programming, the success of “The Roast of Tom Brady” followed in the footsteps of “Chris Rock: Selective Outrage” as it found an eager audience, whereas the first-ever livestream of the SAG-AFTRA Awards earlier this year didn’t do much for Netflix, viewership-wise.

For the full breakdown of the biggest TV-centric revelations from Netflix’s data dump for the first half of 2024, see below.

Netflix’s original shows and movies typically dominate the streamer’s most-viewed content rankings. But it still serves up hundreds of millions of hours of content licensed from third parties, as shown by Netflix’s massive data dump for viewing covering the first half of 2024.

Not surprisingly, kids content continues to fare well — extremely well. No. 1 on the TV side is perennial preschool favorite “CoComelon,” from Moonbug Entertainment, which pulled in 124.5 million views in aggregate. And that doesn’t include the two seasons of “CoComelon Lane” (34.4 million), which is a Netflix original produced by Moonbug. In addition, Moonbug’s “Little Angel” series garnered 52.4 million views over its five volumes.

Following “CoComelon” was another children’s TV staple: British animated show “Peppa Pig,” with 117.4 million views over six seasons. “Young Sheldon,” the spinoff the “The Big Bang Theory” that just ended its run on CBS last spring, came in strong with...

‘Baby Reindeer,’ ‘Bridgerton,’ and ‘Fool Me Once’ were the most-watched titles on Netflix as revealed by its latest data dump.

Netflix is putting its money where its mouth is. Company co-ceo Ted Sarandos harangued other streaming executives this week for not being more transparent, and Netflix followed up his words by following through with another data dump regarding how much viewership it received in the first half of 2024. British TV was the biggest genre of the year for the streamer, with titles like “Bridgerton,” “Fool Me Once” and the controversy-generating “Baby Reindeer” compiling tens of millions of views.

Key Details: Netflix was watched for 94 billion hours total in the first half of 2024. Four of the top 10 series in Netflix’s first half of 2024 were British productions. **The top-performing American series was “Avatar: The Last Airbender.” Sign Up $6.99+ / month netflix.com

Summer may start winding down next month, but Netflix is charging full steam ahead. From the highly anticipated return of “The Umbrella Academy” to cult classics like “White Chicks” — the August 2024 Netflix streaming catalogue will have you glued to your couch all month long.

To cure the post-Olympics blues, Lily Collins and Ashley Park will be taking audiences back to Paris for the fourth and final season of “Emily in Paris.” The fan favorite is returning after a two-year break, with the first five episodes. Speaking of fan favorites, “Wednesday” star Emma Myers is returning in “Good Girl’s Guide to Murder,” a Netflix/BBC coproduced murder mystery series. To round off the Netflix original content, there are three buzzy comedy specials heading to you this August — from Langston Kerman, Joe Rogan and Matt Rife.

Along with originals, subscribers can look forward existing content like all eight seasons of “Fear the Walking Dead,...

August is a big month for Netflix with lots of new originals hitting the streamer. The Umbrella Academy returns for its fourth and final season with the Hargreeves siblings forced to save the world one last time. Part one of Emily in Paris season 4 arrives this month as well, and Emily’s (Lily Collins) love life is as complicated as ever.

The director’s cuts of Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon: Part One and Rebel Moon: Part Two will also be available to watch from Aug. 2, both offering an even more hardcore, bloodier version of the director’s sci-fi saga.

There will also be a selection of AMC shows available on Netflix starting this month, including the first seasons of the hit series Interview with the Vampire, Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches, and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. If you’ve been wanting to catch up on these series and others,...

The Netflix August 2024 originals, movies, and TV shows have been revealed. The streaming service has also announced which movies and TV series will be leaving next month.

The August lineup includes CoComelon Lane Season 3, Emily in Paris Season 4: Part 1, Gabby’s Dollhouse Season 10, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, Incoming, Love is Blind: Mexico, Love is Blind: UK, and Pokémon Horizons: The Series Part 3.

The Netflix August 2024 slate also features Rebel Moon: The Director’s Cut, Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie, Terminator Zero, The Umbrella Academy Season 4, The Union, Unstable Season 2, and new installments of Untold.

The Frog is a suspense thriller revolving around the story of people whose peaceful lives are upended and thrown into uncontrollable incidents due to a mysterious guest who arrives in the middle of summer.

Kengan Ashura Season 2: Part.2 (Jp) — Netflix...

Look, there’s no way around this: August is a slow month for TV, and Netflix isn’t any different. Splashy fall TV is right around the corner, but August seems best designed to catch up on some of the best TV of the year so far that you may have missed.

It’s not a total wasteland, however: “Emily in Paris” returns this month for Season 4 Part 1. The internet loves to make fun of it, but the dreamed is truly one of the best brain-dead shows to watch when it’s too hot to do much of anything else. Lily Collins wears the most amazing outfits! There’s lots of kissing! Why do you think you’re better than it?! Much like other recent Netflix hits such as “Bridgerton,” “Emily in Paris” Season 4 will be divided into two parts, with Part 1 dropping August 15 and Part 2 debuting a month later.

The world of animation is one of the most creative and unique. Growing up, when you think of cartoons, it may have been anime, Pixar, Bugs Bunny, or Mickey Mouse, but there is far more to offer. Over the decades, filmmakers have taken audiences to brave new worlds too vast to imagine. Even before the advent of CGI, animators created incredible stories for decades that ran the gamut of imaginative tales. And over the past few years, Netflix has proven to be a powerhouse for animated tales. With the successful Academy Award win for last year’s exceptional Pinocchio from Guillermo del Toro, you can expect much more.

I recently attended the Next on Netflix: Animation Preview, which included something for the entire family. The event took place at the Netflix Tudum Theater in Los Angeles. And our announcer? That would be “Lola” from the hilariously crude animated series Big Mouth.

You might not realize it, but your house already runs on animation. As you’re gasping over the last scene ofBlue Eye Samurai, your partner is eyeing the queue for their next auteur pick with Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio. Or maybe you just discovered a new obsession in anime. Meanwhile, over in the family room, your children are learning life lessons from a lizard with yet another rewatch of Netflix’s biggest animated film, Leo, while the youngest member of the family is having breakfast with JJ and the cast of CoComelon Lane. Whatever your tastes, you’re likely one of 130 million Netflix households watching animation every month.

Well, get your remote ready, because even more animation is headed your way. Team up with your favorite League of Legends champions and see what’s next for Jinx and Vi in Arcane Season 2. Follow baseball star Ken Sato’s journey...

“The Roast of Tom Brady” debuted with a bang on the Netflix Top 10.

Despite not premiering until the evening of May 5, when it aired live on Netflix, it was the streamer’s sixth-most-watched English-language TV title of the April 29-May 5 viewing window. In its first few hours of availability, the roast hit 2 million views. And it wasn’t the only live event from Netflix Is a Joke fest to make the chart this week. Katt Williams’ stand-up special “Woke Foke” actually outperformed it as the No. 4 title with 4 million views — though it had the benefit of longer availability, having aired on May 4.

The Jerry Seinfeld-directed movie “Unfrosted” debuted on top of the English-language film chart, but with 7.1 million views in its first weekend, this marks the lowest viewership for a No. 1 film since Netflix began ranking by views in June of 2023.

Back on the TV side, “Baby Reindeer” continued its hot streak,...

The 1998 “Seinfeld” finale drew 76.3 million viewers to NBC, which made it the fourth-most-watched series finale in TV history. Jerry Seinfeld’s “Unfrosted” opening weekend on Netflix was not that, but it was number 1 on Netflix in its debut, notching 7.1 million views on 11.3 million hours viewed.

The (mostly fiction) comedy film about the invention of the Pop-Tart wasn’t quite a hit with critics (to say the least), but it so far has popped with audiences, probably in part because of the obscene amount of press Seinfeld did leading up to its release.

“Unfrosted” beat out Sony rom-com “Anyone But You” in views, but not hours viewed — the Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney flick is eight minutes longer than Seinfeld’s. The Kellogg’s triumph also unseated Zack Snyder’s “Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver,” which is now on the English Films Top 10 List for its third straight week. The...

y Reindeer” continues its surprise meteoric ascent. The limited series, which reached 2.6 million views in its debut weekend — impressive, given the show’s minimal marketing push — rose to 13.3 million views in its second week on the chart, then shot up by another 65%, landing at 22 million views for the April 22-28 viewing window.

That made it the most-watched Netflix title of the week, followed by “Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver,” which was the top movie with 18.8 million views. “Anyone but You” was the No. 2 movie of the week with 10.6 million views in its first six days of availability, following a successful run at the box office earlier this year.

Back on the English-language TV chart, “Dead Boy Detectives” debuted in second place with 3.1 million minutes watched in its first four days of availability. The series is set in the same universe as Netflix’s “The Sandman,” both being based on...

watched English-language TV series, and the 11th-most watched series overall, it was the No. 1 TV series on the service from April 15-21, reaching 13.3 million views — impressive, especially for a title that premiered with a smaller scale marketing campaign than titles with similar viewership.

The most-watched title of the week overall was “Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver,” the follow-up to Zack Snyder’s 2023 film “Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire.” The movie hit 21.4 million views in its first three days of availability, putting it slightly behind “Part One,” which reached 23.9 million views in the same amount of time. The release of “Part Two” also gave a boost to “Part One,” which returned as the No. 5 English-language film with 5.5 million views. Also notable on the film chart was “Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp” and “What Jennifer Did,” which hit 18.8 million and 16.3 million views in their first full weeks of availability.

For those of us who religiously watch “Sex and the City” on whatever platform it is currently streaming on (hi), April 1 is an exciting day. That’s the day the popular HBO series starring Sarah Jessica Parker is coming to Netflix — for the very first time. And TBS reruns this is not: This is the full, unedited, groundbreaking show, now just waiting for viewers new and old to do a Netflix binge. (Paging Gen Z!)

Of course, there are plenty of other exciting TV shows and movies hitting Netflix in April 2024. Movie thrills include Jessica Chastain-starring “Molly’s Game” making its way back to the streamer, as well as perennial rom-com fave “You’ve Got Mail.” On the TV side, there’s new series “Dead Boy Detectives,” from showrunner Steve Yockey, and from the same universe as “The Sandman,” based on the beloved comic series from Neil Gaiman.

When Netflix released its first-ever Engagement Report — a revealing look into what (and how much) people are watching within the streamer’s film and TV catalog — live-action adult and young adult series like Ginny and Georgia, The Night Agent and Fubar were among those that topped nearly a billion hours watched.

But between January and June 2023, seasons of animated originals Sonic Prime, Gabby’s Dollhouse, Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse, My Dad the Bounty Hunter and The Creature Cases also ranked among the 500 most-viewed series (out of 18,000), as did acquisitions like Paw Patrol, CoComelon, Pj Masks and Peppa Pig.

And while much of the streamer’s most popular animated content came from its kids and family programming, the report reveals new and previously released seasons of adult animation and anime entries like Castlevania, Love, Death & Robots, Bee and Puppycat, Disenchantment, Big Mouth, and Skull Island were among the top 22 percent of watched titles.

Fewer originals dedicated to kids and more free content on YouTube seem to comprise the current strategy for streamers like Netflix.

YouTube comprises a fascinating piece of the current media puzzle. The video hosting platform is a huge draw for audiences, especially those who are comfortable with streaming video as opposed to watching on linear TV. According to a new report from The Wall Street Journal that indicates that YouTube’s share of streaming viewership among kids 2-11 is 33%, while Netflix’s is just 21%.

YouTube has a higher percentage of total TV time among all audience segments than any streaming service. The problem is particularly acute for streamers among kids, who are increasingly preferring YouTube to subscription video services. Streamers are combatting the trend by uploading more content to YouTube to meet customers where they are, and by making fewer originals geared toward kids. Why is YouTube Consistently Beating Top Streamers?...

As the year winds down, it’s time to look back at Netflix’s biggest hits, and today, we begin by looking into what kids’ TV shows picked up the most points in the Netflix top 10s over the past 12 months.

This list is compiled using FlixPatrol data collected from the daily top 10s on Netflix from over 80 countries around the globe. They assign points and values to each title that gets featured on any day. Their data isn’t perfect as their method doesn’t quite fully capture the complexity of viewership data, such as total watch time, repeat viewings, or demographic details of the audience. Also worth noting is that Netflix changed up its top 10 metrics midway through the year to favor views over pure viewing hours. That said, their data provides a pretty accurate snapshot of what performed best over a long period.

Netflix’s Squid Game: The Challenge competition series topped Nielsen’s latest U.S. ranking of streaming originals.

The reality-tv offshoot of the hit Korean thriller racked up 1.4 billion minutes viewed for Thanksgiving Week, across its first five episodes.

Squid Game: The Challenge may not be as big as the show that inspired it, but the competition series still got off to a very strong start.

Netflix’s unscripted offshoot of its most popular series of all time scored a strong opening in the Nielsen streaming rankings for Thanksgiving week. Adam Sandler’s animated movie Leo claimed the top spot overall, and Young Sheldon also joined the top 10 after making its Netflix debut.

Squid Game: The Challenge drew 1.42 billion minutes of viewing in the United States for the week of Nov. 20-26. It was the top streaming series for the week, beating out Bluey (1.17 billion minutes) on Disney+, and finished second overall behind the 1.53 billion minutes for Leo.

The Crown, which finished first overall the previous week, slipped to second among originals with 835 million minutes of viewing, an 11.5 percent decline from a week earlier. Disney+’s The Santa Clauses...

Another week passed, and Netflix released its weekly list of the Top-10 Most-Watched Web Series. From The Crown: Season 6, CoComelon Lane: Season 1 to Squid Game: The Challenge: Season 1 and more have been on the list, and most of them have been on it in the previous weeks, while there have been a few new entries too.

Netflix has entertained viewers with various new series from around the world. In the recent past, South Korean dramas have been gaining a lot of popularity, and the leading streaming platform makes sure to bring in some of the best K-Dramas for the fans.

The Crown Season 6 Part 2 came out on December 14th, and before the final part of the last season dropped, people binge-watched the sixth season and made it secure a spot on the Top-10 Most-Watched Web Series list for the fifth time.

“Leave the World Behind” opened with a bang as the apocalyptic thriller cracked the Netflix Top 10 during the Dec. 4-10 viewing window at No. 1 on the English Films list with 41.7 million views, making it the most-viewed title this week as viewers attempted to dissect that final theory in director Sam Esmail’s adaptation of Rumaan Alam’s novel of the same name.

Starring Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, Mahershala Ali, and Myha’la, the film landed on the streamer on Dec. 8 following its world premiere at AFI Festival on Nov. 22.

Moonbug Entertainment, the kids’ entertainment powerhouse behind the hit “CoComelon” franchise, is bringing on board its first chief marketing officer: Peter Stone, a nine-year veteran of Netflix.

In the new role, Stone will be responsible for Moonbug’s global marketing strategy, as well as the evolution and growth of its brands. He will be based in Moonbug’s London office and starts Dec. 6, reporting to co-founder and CEO René Rechtman.

Stone joins Moonbug as the company says its brands “continue to see significant expansion.” Among recent developments, it called out Blippi’s debut on Roblox, “Morphle” soon launching on Disney+ and Disney Junior, and the new CoComelon show “CoComelon Lane” launching exclusively on Netflix.

Moonbug is part of Candle Media, the next-gen rollup play headed by ex-Disney execs Kevin Mayer and Tom Staggs, backed by private-equity firm Blackstone Group. Candle acquired Moonbug in 2021 in a deal worth about $3 billion.

Turns out, it wasn’t much of a challenge at all.

“Squid Game: The Challenge” dominated Netflix’s overall leaderboard in its debut week, when it drew 20.1 million views. The unscripted competition series picked up where the I.P. left off in 2021, bumping Part 1 of “The Crown’s” sixth season to second place (8.8 million views) for the week of November 20, 2023.

“Squid Game: The Challenge,” filmed in the UK, is an English-language series; Og “Squid Game” was a Korean-language series dubbed into local languages. As such, the scripted show technically rests atop Netflix’s “Non-English” list, though it blows away all the English-language stuff anyway.

“The Challenge” was so big it brought “Squid Game” back to the Global Top 10 for non-english series — at no. 6 with 1.6 million views — its 21st appearance. The scripted show hadn’t made the list since the week ending June 19, 2022. The long Thanksgiving holiday weekend sure helped the streams pile up.

The latest feature from David Fincher, a big-budget drama series from Steven Knight and Shawn Levy, and an Oscar hopeful starring Annette Bening and Jodie Foster are among the standout new additions hitting Netflix in November.

With The Killer, Fincher reteams with Seven writer Andrew Kevin Walker to adapt the graphic novel written by Alexis Nolent. The film, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival this year and debuts on Netflix on Nov. 10, stars Michael Fassbender as a shadowy unnamed assassin and features a cast that includes Arliss Howard, Charles Parnell, Gabriel Polanco, Kerry O’Malley, Emiliano Pernía, Sala Baker, Sophie Charlotte and Tilda Swinton.

The Hollywood Reporter‘s review of The Killer described the film as “a satisfyingly retro, location-hopping genre exercise with fisticuffs, gadgets (albeit ones bought from Amazon) and smooth-talking antagonists that all plays like a tongue-in-cheek spoof of James Bond movies.”

All the Light We Cannot See...

Netflix’s slate for November 2023 has much to offer as the transition from Halloween to Thanksgiving and eventually Christmas begins. Many favorite movies such as Jennifer Garner’s “13 Going on 30” and “The Big Lebowski” arrive Nov. 1, while Garner’s new movie “The Family Switch” rounds out the month when it arrives on the streamer Nov. 30. Other can’t-miss film arrivals on November first include “Whiplash,” “Sixteen Candles,” “The Social Network” and “Pitch Perfect.”

Several new seasons of Netflix shows arrive this month as well, the most highly anticipated of which might be “The Crown” Season 6 Part 1. The first half of the final season of the royal drama series arrives Nov. 16. The limited series adaptation of “All the Light We Cannot See” by Shawn Levy and Steven Knight launches November 2. Levy directed all four episodes of the epic drama series, adapted from the Pulitzer prize-winning novel by Anthony Doerr.

November on Netflix is peppered with curiosities for just about everyone. This month will see the long-awaited adaptation of Anthony Doerr’s award-winning novel All the Light We Cannot See hit the streamer. Directed by Shawn Levy (The Adam Project) and starring Mark Ruffalo, the limited series will tell the emotional story of a blind French girl who meets a German soldier in the final days of WWII.

Elsewhere, Netflix will unveil its first expansion of its planned Squid Game universe with an actual competition show that will challenge 456 players to be the final winner of no less than $4.56 million. Squid Game: The Challenge will feature games recreated from the hit 2021 show, hopefully with a comparatively zero chance of death for the contestants!

For those who are awaiting the return of their favorite Netflix shows in a more fictional capacity, however, we can confirm that Selling Sunset season seven, The Tailor season three,...
