Prison Break Tops Nielsen Streaming Charts, Surpassing Popular Originals

The former Fox series sees a resurgence on Netflix, outperforming The Umbrella Academy and House of the Dragon.

Prison Break accumulated 1.6 billion viewing minutes, leading the overall streaming rankings for the week of August 5-11.
The show’s availability on both Netflix and Hulu contributed to its significant viewership increase.
The Umbrella Academy was the top original series, with nearly 1.5 billion minutes viewed following its final season premiere.
Bluey and Grey’s Anatomy also surpassed the billion-minute mark, while House of the Dragon saw a decline post-finale.
This marks a notable trend of older series gaining new life on streaming platforms.
