The Night Agent returned to a familiar spot at the top of the Nielsen streaming rankings with its season three premiere, but it did so with smaller viewing numbers than past seasons.
The spy thriller led the week of Feb. 16-22 with 1.83 billion minutes of viewing time, pushing the previous week’s leader, The Lincoln Lawyer, down to second place (with a still very healthy 1.53 billion minutes). The total for The Night Agent, while still quite strong, is its lowest for an opening week so far: Season two debuted with 3.11 billion minutes of watch time in January 2025, and the series premiere in 2023 logged 2.6 billion minutes. (Netflix’s worldwide internal numbers show a similar drop for season three’s first week.)

In third place for Feb. 16-22 is The Hunting Party, the NBC drama whose first season got a healthy Netflix bump in its first week on the platform. The crime drama (which also streams on Peacock) had 1.29 billion minutes of viewing.
Three other shows — Love Is Blind (1.22 billion minutes), The Pitt (1.15 billion) and Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model (1.07 billion) — also had more than a billion minutes of viewing. Not included in the Nielsen ratings are the final days of the Winter Olympics, which racked up in the neighborhood of 7 billion minutes that week (part of a 16.7 billion minute total for the games as a whole).
Tyler Perry’s film Joe’s College Road Trip led the movie chart for a second week with 596 million viewing minutes.
