Peacock’s reality series “Love Island USA” reclaimed the top spot on Nielsen’s streaming rankings for the week of July 4, generating 1.9 billion minutes viewed, according to new data. The show had previously held the No. 1 position earlier this summer but was briefly dethroned. The latest surge underscores the series’ dominance as the breakout hit of the season.
Other notable performances included “The Bear,” which improved its standing a week after its final season premiere, and the film “Elle,” which debuted in the top 10 among original streaming titles. Meanwhile, a diverse mix of content kept audiences engaged during the holiday period, including “Avatar,” various works by Harlan Coben, “Project Hail Mary,” and “Independence Day.”
The Nielsen streaming charts measure viewership across major platforms, reflecting the broad range of programming U.S. audiences consumed over the July 4 holiday week.
