Alright, the new stats for the back half of 2024’s Netflix viewing came out this afternoon<\/a> and it occurs that we somehow missed the stats for the first half of the year so I thought I’d just take a look at the stats for 2024 put together. Squid Game<\/em> Season 2 topped the back half of 2024 with 619.9m hrs viewed in just the final week of the year, an effective viewership of 86.5m viewers (interestingly the first episode made Top 50 BARB in the UK, but none of the other ones did). It looks like Bridgerton<\/em> Series 3 was the most watched TV show throughout the whole of last year with 907.1m hrs, an effective viewership of just shy of 112.9m viewers – effective viewership just being the amount of hours watched divided by the runtime – this doesn’t account for people who give up on a series or people who watch multiple times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However what we’re interested in is 2024’s batch of unscripted. So let’s take a look shall we? Figures are date of release, hours, effective viewership across the year. I’ve sprinkled in some unscripted non-game stuff and of interest stuff as well for texture, but we’ll stick to English language versions of formats in the main unless a number looks particularly interesting. It’s just in date order as I work my way down the lists. Not all shows are available worldwide. Runs from 1st Jan 2024 to 31st Dec 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Two Christmas Gamedays<\/strong> (25\/12\/24) both did around 14.3m viewers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phew, what do we learn from all that? Clearly the Netflix relationship\/dating shows are still massively successful, somehow we’ve completely slept on Culinary Class Wars<\/em> – massive numbers for that! It’s Cooking Physical 100<\/em>, if we’d known that at the time we’d have watched it. Kaos<\/em>, the Greek myth drama with Jeff Goldblum that we liked, got canned with 20m viewers effective. Harsh. The Mole US<\/em> is low-mid tier reality successful. The Influencer<\/em> and Agents of Mystery<\/em> deserve more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking at some previous shows we’ve enjoyed, The Devil’s Plan <\/strong>added another 16m taking its lifetime total up to 88.4m hours, 6.7m viewers (Series two coming soon), Squid Game: The Challenge<\/strong> added 45.3m to go up to 315.9m hrs to go up to a lifetime viewership of 38.7m. Streaming quiz sensation Cheat<\/strong> with Danny Dyer added another 0.5m hrs to go up to 8m hrs total. So there we are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
