Paramount TV Studios Claims Three of September's Top Four Streaming Spots

Reacher concluded September with 4.6 billion minutes of viewing time, securing the number one position among original streaming series in the United States. Nielsen compiled the data for viewers aged two and older between September 1 and September 30, 2026. The Prime Video title is produced by Paramount TV Studios.

Two other productions from Paramount TV Studios rounded out the top three rankings for the month. Neagley, which released its entire first season on September 16, recorded 3.3 billion minutes of viewership on Prime Video. Lioness, airing on Paramount+, also accumulated 3.3 billion minutes of viewing time. Both series tied for the third place spot in the monthly rankings.

Apple TV's Ted Lasso finished in second place with 3.6 billion minutes viewed. Season 4 of the Warner Bros. TV series was the only entry to rank between the top and the tied third place positions. Netflix's Monster: Lizzie Borden placed fifth after its September 17 premiere, drawing 3.1 billion minutes of viewing.

Paramount TV Studios has maintained strong performance into the fall season. Its CBS series Marshals launched its second season on October 4 and became the top entertainment series for that week. Nielsen live plus seven multiplatform data confirmed the show led both broadcast and streaming audiences for the period.

The studio's recent successes involve several key creative figures. Nick Santora serves as showrunner for Reacher, which stars Alan Ritchson. He also co-showruns Neagley with Nicholas Wootton, a series starring Maria Sten. Lioness, which stars Zoe Saldaña, is produced by Paramount TV Studios and 101 Studios with Taylor Sheridan serving as an executive producer.
