Last year, Netflix added all 9 seasons of the popular legal series Suits to its streaming offering in July. The step paid off because… When evaluating the US view figures for 2023, Suits took first place. An original series from Apple TV+ is otherwise one of the streaming leaders in 2023.
Suits was at the top in 2023 thanks to Netflix boost
As the Hollywood Reporter reports, the market research company Nielsen has evaluated last year’s streaming figures for the US market. With proud 57.7 billion minutes streamed Suits was the most successful series in 2023.
Even if they not Netflix exclusive and is available in the USA from other providers such as Peacock, the initial Netflix release in 2023 is likely to have made a significant contribution to the series’ streaming success. According to Nielsen, 53.1 of the 57.7 billion minutes came during the 28 weeks that Suits was available in the US on both Netflix and Peacock.
Apple TV+ dominates streaming numbers with original series
The legal series, which started in 2011 and ended with season 9 in 2019, was more successful than comparable 2023 hits such as Amazon’s Reacher or Netflix’s The Night Agent. The most streamed original series was Ted Lasso last year with a total of 16.9 billion minutes.
The record is one, according to the Hollywood Reporter Surprise, because Apple TV+, in contrast to Netflix and Amazon Prime, is a streaming service with significantly fewer subscriptions. In Ted Lasso, Jason Sudeikis plays an American football coach who is supposed to coach a football team in England. His mission is an insidious plan by the club owner’s ex-wife, who wants to ruin the team with the haphazard coach.
