House of the Dragon is not giving up its spot. The HBO series topped the Samba weekly Wrap Report streaming chart for the fourth straight week, and five of the past six, according to The Wrap.
The Game of Thrones spinoff has one episode left in its third season. The show previously demonstrated staying power at the top of streaming charts even after seasons wrapped up, which happened two years ago as well. Whether that pattern repeats itself after the Season 3 finale remains to be seen.
The Wrap Report tracks viewership trends from a panel of more than 3 million households, balanced to the U.S. Census, and provides an exclusive first look at the most-watched movies and TV series across both streaming and linear television.
Debuting in second place this week is the Netflix true-crime documentary series The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare, a three-part series examining the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students. The Netflix western Ransom Canyon, starring Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly, moved up one spot to land in third.
The Prime Video action comedy Ride or Die slid to fourth after three straight weeks on the chart. All eight of its episodes arrived on July 15. It is a female-led series and, notably, not based on any existing intellectual property.
HBO's Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness, the Larry David-led comedy, held steady in fifth. Power Book III: Raising Kanan on Starz debuted in sixth place, one week before the fifth season finale of the crime drama. The Will Ferrell Netflix comedy The Hawk slipped to seventh after two weeks in second. Apple TV+'s crime thriller Lucky landed in eighth. Netflix's scripted limited series The Bombing of Pan Am 103, a retelling of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, came in ninth.
Rounding out the streaming chart at tenth was Furious on Hulu. The crime drama stars Emmy Rossum as an FBI agent pursuing a female serial killer. The show launched its first three episodes on July 27 before switching to a weekly release schedule.
On the linear side, America's Got Talent held the top spot for the 21st season, with Wheel of Fortune also placing multiple times on the chart.
