Meanwhile, in the realm of acquired series, Sullivan's Crossing led the pack with 888 million viewing minutes. Making its debut on the chart was Extant, which garnered 742 million minutes of watch time after being added to Netflix's library. In an interesting turn of events, The Summer I Turned Pretty surpassed Netflix's America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys in viewing minutes during its latest week.

Prime Video's The Summer I Turned Pretty also saw a significant rise, gaining 654 million viewing minutes in its latest week, propelling it into second place among original series.
Netflix's Hostage debuted on the original series chart with 482 million minutes of viewing time, adding another exciting title to the streaming giant's diverse content lineup.
