The FX-produced Hulu series had 608 million minutes of viewing time for the week of its finale, April 22-28. That’s a 45 percent jump from the prior week and Shōgun’s highest total in the nine weeks it has made the top 10.

Several original series also made their top 10 debuts: Netflix’s Dead Boy Detectives (633 million minutes of watch time), Paramount+’s Knuckles (341 million) and Prime Video’s Them: The Scare (251 million). On the acquired series chart, former Starz drama Black Sails ranked eighth with 629 million minutes in its second week on Netflix.

Anyone But You, the rom-com starring THR cover subject Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney, topped the movie rankings after being added to Netflix on April 23. It had 773 million minutes of viewing in its first week on the streamer.
