Stranger Things continues to be a force to be reckoned with, claiming the top spot on the TV demand charts for the fourteenth consecutive week. In Australia, the sci-fi series came in 72.6 points above the market average and 39.8 points in New Zealand. The series has slowly decreased each week from its peak at 141.4 points in Australia and 65.01 points in New Zealand in mid-July.

Hulu enjoys another week at #2, but this week with Only Murders In The Building instead of The Orville. Only Murders In The Building made a big jump this past week, rising from fourth to second to come in 22.1 points above average in Australia and 16.8 points in New Zealand. The series is a mystery-comedy that follows three strangers played by Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez, who share an obsession with a true crime podcast.  The series has been renewed for a third season.  

The Boys remained at third for a second week in the digital originals. Season three of the superhero series still remains a popular choice for TV fanatics, coming in 20.6 points above average in Australia and 16.2 in New Zealand.

The Orville experienced a slight drop from the past few weeks, falling from second to fourth. Created by and starring Seth MacFarlane, season three of The Orville has been better received by critics compared to its previous seasons. This past week, the Star Trek-inspired series had an 18.4 difference from the market average in Australia and 12.5 in New Zealand.

In overall TV shows, Better Call Saul continues its successful streak, placing second in both Australia (34.9) and New Zealand (27.3). The Breaking Bad spin-off has stirred up popularity for the original show, with Breaking Bad placing fourth in Australia, with a difference of 23.9 and eighth in New Zealand with 14.9.

In overall TV shows, Game of Thrones has moved up the charts ahead of The House of the Dragon premiere, placing third. In Australia, the series clocked 24.8 and 20 points in New Zealand.
