From ‘One Piece’ to ‘House of Usher,’ Netflix Produced Half of 2023’s Most In-Demand Streaming Originals | Chart

In 2023, the world of streaming platforms experienced significant turbulence, characterized by a prolonged strike involving writers and actors, numerous platform mergers, and a mix of show launches and cancellations. As the year concluded, certain new releases stood out for their impact on the streaming industry.

Netflix led the charge, claiming half of the top 10 spots for the most in-demand streaming originals of 2023. The standout was the live-action adaptation of the anime “One Piece,” which topped the list. Released in August, it garnered a remarkable 52.8 times the average demand of other shows in its first month.

Other Netflix hits included the adult animated series “Blue Eye Samurai” at No. 5, the action-packed “The Night Agent” at No. 8, the competitive reality show “Squid Game: The Challenge” at No. 9 and “The Fall of the House of Usher,” a miniseries inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, claiming the 10th spot.

Disney+ also made its mark with releases tied to its flagship Star Wars and Marvel franchises. Both “Ahsoka” (No. 2) and “Secret Invasion” (No. 3) resonated strongly with audiences, surpassing the average demand by 40 times.

Amazon Prime Video introduced a new addition to “The Boys” universe with “Gen V,” which secured the No. 4 spot in the rankings. This was closely followed by the platform’s contrasting musical drama, “Daisy Jones & The Six.”

The list was rounded out by Apple TV+’s “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” in No. 7. Set in Legendary’s ongoing MonsterVerse franchise, which includes the 2014 “Godzilla,” “Kong: Skull Island” and “Godzilla vs. Kong.” It made a significant late-year splash following its mid-November release, ranking as the second most recent show on the list after “Squid Game: The Challenge.”
