Prime Video’s Neagley has stormed the U.S. Streaming charts, dethroning its own parent series Reacher in its debut week. The spinoff, starring Maria Sten as a Chicago-based private eye and former military ally of Jack Reacher, racked up 1.78 billion minutes of viewing across its eight-episode binge release — nearly matching the 1.84 billion minutes that launched Reacher back in 2022. That performance was enough to earn it a swift season two renewal on Thursday. But the real story isn’t just the numbers. It’s what they mean for Amazon’s strategy in a market where even legacy franchises are losing momentum. Reacher still held strong at third with 1.42 billion minutes, though it dipped slightly after its fourth season finale. Still, the show’s cumulative watch time since August 12 now stands at 5.8 billion minutes, proof of its staying power. Meanwhile, Netflix’s Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story landed second with 1.48 billion minutes, holding steady with last year’s anthology entries. On the lower end, Crew Girl made its first appearance on the list with 635 million minutes, while Lioness and Ted Lasso saw modest weekly growth. And then there’s the movie chart: Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Again? dropped over 60% in its second week but still led with 332 million minutes. Nielsen’s data only tracks TV-set viewing in the U.S., excluding mobile and desktop. So the full picture? Probably bigger. But this is already clear: the battle for attention isn’t just about new shows anymore. It’s about who can make an old name feel fresh again. And right now, Neagley is winning.
