Top 20 Most-Streamed TV Series in 2025 (So Far)

1-20

Ignacio Weil Ignacio Weil
Entertainment - July 23rd 2025, 22:00 GMT+2
Cropped South Park

20. South Park – 10.45 B minutes watched

There’s rude, there’s absurd – and then there’s South Park, which proudly lives in its own chaotic corner of television. Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s long-running animated juggernaut continues to slice through current events with all the subtlety of a chainsaw. Whether it’s deep-faking politicians, mocking celebrity feuds, or breaking the fourth wall entirely, South Park doesn’t just keep up – it stays three steps ahead. And with surprise celebrity voice cameos and cultural references sharper than a box cutter, fans can’t stop watching. Just don’t ask it to be polite. | © South Park Studios / Comedy Central

Cropped young sheldon

19. Young Sheldon – 10.60 B minutes watched

The boy genius from Texas may be small in stature, but Young Sheldon has grown into a sitcom with massive staying power. Audiences are still hooked on Iain Armitage’s sweetly awkward portrayal of the pint-sized Sheldon Cooper as he navigates early academia and family drama in East Texas. With strong turns from Zoe Perry and Lance Barber as his deeply Southern but deeply loving parents, the show walks the tightrope between quirky humor and emotional sincerity. Jim Parsons, chiming in as adult Sheldon, adds just enough nostalgia for Big Bang Theory fans to keep this prequel irresistible. | © Chuck Lorre Productions / Warner Bros. Television

Cropped gunsmoke

18. Gunsmoke – 10.96 B minutes watched

A series that began in the age of rotary phones is now burning up the digital charts – Gunsmoke is officially back in the saddle. With James Arness commanding the screen as Marshal Matt Dillon, this western epic delivers moral weight, dusty duels, and a surprisingly modern sense of drama. For today’s audiences craving something unhurried and unfiltered, this slow-cooked saga of justice on the American frontier hits like a shot of authenticity. It’s the comfort food of classic TV – seasoned with six-shooters and saddle sores. | © Arness Production Company / CBS Television

Cropped friends

17. Friends – 11.40 B minutes watched

Streaming algorithms, meet Central Perk. Friends remains a bingeworthy behemoth with no signs of fading into rerun purgatory. Its formula? Unbeatable chemistry between a now-legendary ensemble – Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, and the irreplaceable Matthew Perry. Whether it’s Ross’s disastrous leather pants or Chandler’s sarcasm addiction, the show's warm fuzziness still resonates. Friends isn’t just a nostalgic hit; it’s a global comfort watch that proves 22-minute episodes and a good laugh never go out of style. | © Bright/Kauffman/Crane Productions / Warner Bros. Television

Cropped the white lotus

16. The White Lotus – 11.46 B minutes watched

The only thing deadlier than the secrets in The White Lotus are the one-liners. Mike White’s Emmy-winning anthology of high-end vacations gone wrong continues to mesmerize with its surreal mix of wealth, power, and wildly uncomfortable social dynamics. From Jennifer Coolidge’s unforgettable Tanya to Natasha Rothwell’s comeback as spa manager Belinda, this series delivers murder with a martini and existential dread in a silk robe. Its third season brought Thailand into the mix, with new standout performances from Parker Posey and Jason Isaacs adding fresh layers of dysfunction. | © HBO Entertainment / Pallogram / The District / Rip Cord Productions

Cropped supernatural

15. Supernatural – 11.91 B minutes watched

There’s no such thing as “just one more episode” when it comes to Supernatural. Once you’re in the Impala with Sam and Dean Winchester, you’re in it for the long haul – all 15 seasons of demon-slaying, apocalypse-averting, and brotherly bickering. Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles made this genre-defying saga more than just a monster-of-the-week series – it became a spiritual experience for fans. And judging by the nearly 12 billion minutes streamed this year, the Winchester boys are still doing heaven, hell, and everything in between better than most. | © Kripke Enterprises / Wonderland Sound and Vision / Warner Bros. Television

Cropped the night agent

14. The Night Agent – 12.21 B minutes watched

Plot twists, whispered phone calls, and late-night betrayals – The Night Agent has officially hacked the algorithm. This political thriller, based on the novel by Matthew Quirk, exploded onto the streaming scene and never let go. Gabriel Basso leads as the earnest and dangerously competent Peter Sutherland, tangled in a White House conspiracy that seems to multiply by the episode. With slick pacing and a cast that includes Hong Chau and Luciane Buchanan, the show feels like if 24 and Jack Ryan had a caffeine-fueled lovechild. It’s the kind of binge that makes you forget to check your own voicemail. | © Exhibit A / Sony Pictures Television / Netflix

Cropped criminal minds

13. Criminal Minds – 12.59 B minutes watched

If true crime podcasts are your vibe, chances are Criminal Minds is already on your most-watched list. This behavioral-profiling procedural has had viewers hooked for years – and 2025’s numbers prove its staying power is no fluke. With a rotating but always captivating team that’s included Mandy Patinkin, Paget Brewster, Joe Mantegna, Shemar Moore, and Matthew Gray Gubler, the BAU doesn’t just catch killers – they get in their heads. It’s disturbingly fascinating and weirdly soothing, like watching chaos from a safe, data-driven distance. | © The Mark Gordon Company / ABC Signature / CBS Studios

Cropped american dad

12. American Dad – 12.97 B minutes watched

Just when you think American Dad might have peaked, Roger shows up in a new costume and says, “Hold my martini.” This animated satire from Seth MacFarlane has quietly (and not-so-quietly) become one of the most streamed shows of the year, with nearly 13 billion minutes watched. Stan Smith and his eccentric household continue to dish out absurdity wrapped in clever commentary – delivered at a rapid-fire pace by an A+ voice cast including MacFarlane himself, Wendy Schaal, and Rachael MacFarlane. If The Simpsons is classic and Family Guy is chaos, American Dad is the absurdist cousin with a master’s degree. | © Underdog Productions / Fuzzy Door Productions / 20th Television Animation

Cropped reacher

11. Reacher – 13.31 B minutes watched

Don’t let the polo shirts and bookish origin fool you – Reacher punches harder than just about anything else on TV. Alan Ritchson’s commanding performance as the ex-military nomad-turned-vigilante hero has turned this adaptation of Lee Child’s novels into a full-on streaming phenomenon. The action is brutal, the pacing is tight, and the justice is swift – exactly what audiences crave in a no-frills thriller. Whether he’s breaking bones or cracking dry one-liners, Reacher has become that rare franchise that pleases fans of the books and adrenaline junkies alike. | © Amazon Studios / Skydance Television / Paramount Television Studios

Cropped Law Order SVU

10. Law & Order: SVU – 14.52 B minutes watched

Cue the unmistakable dun-dun. Law & Order: SVU has spent over two decades turning real-world darkness into prime-time obsession – and judging by its 14.52 billion minutes watched this year, it’s not slowing down. Mariska Hargitay’s Olivia Benson is more than just a detective; she’s a TV icon with empathy, grit, and a stare that could melt steel. The ensemble – featuring Ice-T, Kelli Giddish, and now Molly Burnett – keeps the long-running procedural fresh without losing that signature “ripped-from-the-headlines” appeal. It’s comfort food for true-crime junkies and justice seekers alike. | © Wolf Entertainment / Universal Television / NBCUniversal

Cropped squid game

9. Squid Game – 15.07 B minutes watched

Red light, green light... another 15 billion minutes streamed. Squid Game flipped the global TV landscape on its head, and it’s still holding firm as one of the most-watched –and most talked-about – series on Earth. The South Korean survival drama is more than just shocking twists and viral costumes; it’s a razor-sharp critique of capitalism, inequality, and desperation. Lee Jung-jae leads an emotionally raw cast through brutal games with real-world resonance. | © Siren Pictures Inc. / Netflix

Cropped the rookie

8. The Rookie – 15.64 B minutes watched

Who says second acts don’t work in Hollywood? The Rookie has become one of the year’s biggest surprises, pulling in an impressive 15.64 billion minutes watched. Nathan Fillion anchors the show with his signature charm as John Nolan, the LAPD’s oldest rookie, who proves that resilience and late-blooming purpose make for compelling drama. With a solid supporting cast – including Alyssa Diaz, Mekia Cox, and Richard T. Jones – the series mixes light procedural beats with heartfelt moments and adrenaline-packed showdowns. It's the feel-good cop show you didn’t know you needed. | © ABC Signature / Entertainment One / Perfectman Pictures / Winterworks

Cropped the big bang theory

7. The Big Bang Theory – 16.61 B minutes watched

Bazinga is eternal. The Big Bang Theory continues to defy the laws of syndication by staying wildly popular long after its final episode. With 16.61 billion minutes streamed this year alone, Sheldon, Leonard, Penny, Raj, Howard and Amy remain in heavy rotation on screens everywhere. Jim Parsons’ neurotic genius and Kaley Cuoco’s lovable everywoman dynamic built the heart of this series, while the ensemble’s chemistry turned quantum physics and comic books into mainstream comedy gold. It’s equal parts nerdy and nostalgic – a big bang that never stopped echoing. | © Chuck Lorre Productions / Warner Bros. Television

Cropped spongebob squarepants

6. SpongeBob SquarePants – 16.68 B minutes watched

Is it a kid’s show? A surrealist comedy? A global phenomenon? The answer is: yes. SpongeBob SquarePants, still soaking up screen time like, well, a sponge, pulled in an astounding 16.68 billion minutes watched this year. From the Krusty Krab to jellyfishing with Patrick, each absurd adventure lands with unexpected emotional beats and meme-worthy moments. Voice actors Tom Kenny, Bill Fagerbakke, and Clancy Brown breathe life into characters that somehow appeal to toddlers, college students, and nostalgic millennials all at once. It's pineapple-living perfection, still bubbling strong. | © United Plankton Pictures / Nickelodeon Animation Studio / Paramount Global

Cropped Bobs Burgers

5. Bob’s Burgers – 17.10 B minutes watched

Somehow wholesome and wonderfully weird at the same time, Bob’s Burgers has carved out its place in the animation hall of fame – and now it’s sizzling in the streaming charts with 17.10 billion minutes watched. H. Jon Benjamin’s dry delivery as Bob Belcher anchors the chaos of a family that includes the ever-awkward Tina, mischief-magnet Louise, and one of TV’s most lovable weirdos: Gene. With a musical number in nearly every other episode and plenty of burger puns, the show finds a way to be endlessly rewatchable without ever trying too hard. It’s comfort comedy with curly fries on the side. | © Bento Box Entertainment / 20th Television Animation

Cropped family guy

4. Family Guy – 19.07 B minutes watched

Some shows push the envelope – Family Guy lit the envelope on fire and made a fart joke about it. Seth MacFarlane’s long-running animated juggernaut is as polarizing as it is persistent, and its 19.07 billion minutes streamed this year show that viewers are still all in. Peter Griffin’s barely-functioning dad routine, Stewie’s world-domination schemes, and Brian’s dry wit somehow keep evolving without ever changing too much. It's chaotic, it’s crude, it’s full of pop culture non-sequiturs – and clearly, it's still what the people want. | © Fuzzy Door Productions / 20th Television Animation

Cropped ncis

3. NCIS – 19.11 B minutes watched

Apparently, nothing calms the modern soul quite like solving Navy crimes with a no-nonsense attitude and a cup of strong coffee. NCIS has quietly (and powerfully) maintained its global dominance with 19.11 billion minutes streamed in 2025. Led for years by Mark Harmon’s stoic Gibbs, and now continuing with a rotating cast including Sean Murray and Wilmer Valderrama, this procedural titan blends mystery, heart, and just the right dose of military flair. It’s the kind of show you can drop into at any point – and suddenly realize it's 2 a.m. | © Belisarius Productions / CBS Studios

Cropped Greys Anatomy

2. Grey’s Anatomy – 22.55 B minutes watched

Paging Dr. Meredith Grey – your legacy is officially immortal. With a staggering 22.55 billion minutes watched, Grey’s Anatomy continues to stitch together drama, romance, and more near-death experiences than should be legal for one hospital. Ellen Pompeo may have stepped back, but the heartbeat of the series lives on through a new generation of surgeons and long-running fan favorites like Chandra Wilson and James Pickens Jr. Whether you're here for the steamy hookups, the tearjerker moments, or just to yell “Why would anyone still work at this hospital?!” – Grey’s keeps you watching. | © Shondaland / ABC Signature / ABC Entertainment

Cropped bluey

1. Bluey – 25.09 B minutes watched

At the very top of the mountain stands... a lovable blue heeler. Bluey may be aimed at preschoolers, but with 25.09 billion minutes watched, it’s clearly speaking to everyone. The Australian animated series follows a family of dogs – Bluey, Bingo, Bandit, and Chilli – as they turn the everyday into magical adventures. The writing is whip-smart, the humor surprisingly mature, and the emotional moments land like a Pixar short. Whether you’re five or forty-five, Bluey reminds you how beautiful and hilarious ordinary life can be. It’s more than a kids’ show – it’s a global heart-warmer. | © Ludo Studio / BBC Studios / Australian Broadcasting Corporation
