Virgin River<\/em> unseated longtime streaming champ Stranger Things<\/em> on Nielsen’s weekly U.S. chart, racking up more than 2.6 billion minutes of viewing from July 18 to 24.<\/p>\n

Stranger Things<\/em>, which is already in the books as the biggest English-language series on Netflix globally, finished with just shy of 2.3 billion minutes of watch time. That was a 23% drop from the previous week, but still left it firmly in second place, well ahead of the opening weekend of Netflix’s Russo Bros. spy feature The Gray Man<\/em>, which pulled in more than 1.4 billion streaming minutes.<\/p>\n

Already established as a popular mainstay, Virgin River<\/em> added a 12-episode fourth season on July 20, drawing a dedicated but older-skewing crowd. Two-thirds of viewers were over the age of 50, Nielsen said, and almost one-third were older than 65. The show, which stars Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson, is based on Robyn Carr’s novels about a nurse practitioner who moves from Los Angeles to a remote Northern California town called Virgin River<\/em>. It has been renewed for a fifth season.<\/p>\n

The Gray Man<\/em>, which stars Ryan Gosling and already has a sequel in the works, had 26% of its viewers between 35 and 49 years old, and another 30% between 50 and 64, according to Nielsen.<\/p>\n

Prime Video captured the lone non-Netflix spot in the top 10, with The Boys<\/em> thriving on younger viewers. Nielsen said 38% of viewing came from 18-to-34-year-olds.<\/p>\n

Nielsen measures streaming via a TV screen for Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, Disney+, Hulu and Apple TV+, delivering the results after about a month’s delay.<\/p>\n

Here is the week’s full top 10:<\/p>\n

Virgin River<\/em> (Netflix) – 42 episodes, 2.638 billion minutes of streaming
Stranger Things<\/em> (Netflix) – 34 eps., 2.277B min.
