HBO Max is no stranger to the top of the Samba TV weekly Wrap Report streaming chart. Quite often, Max\u2019s chart toppers come from some existing intellectual property, be they fantasy novels (\u201cHouse of the Dragon,\u201d \u201cA Knight of the Seven Kingdoms\u201d), comics (\u201cThe Penguin\u201d) or video games (\u201cThe Last of Us\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While HBO Max has scored with original programming before, like \u201cThe White Lotus,\u201d it\u2019s still refreshing to see three titles not rooted in existing IP on the chart this week \u2013 including two at the very top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest drama on TV right now, \u201cThe Pitt,\u201d<\/a> is the most-watched streaming program of the week for the third consecutive week. In second place is \u201cDTF St. Louis,\u201d the dark comedy starring Jason Bateman, David Harbour, and Linda Cardellini. The show has been a slow riser since its debut and has now hit a new chart peak. Will it build enough viewership to oust \u201cThe Pitt?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further down the chart we find that third HBO Max original, \u201cRooster,\u201d which slides a bit this week, down one spot to seventh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Pitt” tops Samba TV’s Wrap Report<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Wrap Report provides an exclusive first look at the most watched movies and TV series from the past week across both streaming and linear television sourced from viewership trends collected from Samba TV\u2019s panel of more than 3 million households, balanced to the U.S. Census.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week\u2019s chart is light on Netflix content, but the big streamer still manages to come in third with \u201cAnaconda.\u201d The Jack Black and Paul Rudd meta comedy hit theatres back on Christmas Day and has built some buzz since landing on Netflix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCrime 101,\u201d on Prime Video, lands in fourth this week by bringing some big names to the small screen. Despite an epic cast that includes Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan and Halle Berry, among others, the film was a box office bomb earlier this year. Clearly, the crime flick has found a new audience since landing on streaming.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\t\t\t\u2018The Pitt\u2019 Tops the Streaming List for the First Time | Charts<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In fifth place is \u201cParadise,\u201d the Hulu post-apocalyptic thriller series. Now in its second season, the show is gaining some steam, similar to what we saw with \u201cThe Pitt.\u201d It\u2019s up two spots from last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Madison\u201d falls to sixth after a strong debut in second place last week. Perhaps audiences only have room for one Taylor Sheridan drama in their lives right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In eighth, \u201cDark Winds\u201d holds on for the second straight week, keeping AMC+ on the chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two very different Netflix series close out the streaming chart this week. The sports documentary series \u201cUntold\u201d lands in ninth, with a new season looking at chess cheat scandals, an alleged shooting, and the early 2000s Portland Trail Blazers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Closing out the chart is \u201cSomething Very Bad Is Going to Happen,\u201d a horror series where a soon-to-be-married couple must deal with family drama, death, curses and other horrors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
“American Idol” is the most-watched linear program of the week<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Over on linear, \u201cAmerican Idol\u201d takes back the top spot after facing one of its toughest challenges yet: the bible. That\u2019s right, with Easter weekend comes the annual airing of Cecil B. DeMille\u2019s 1956 epic \u201cThe Ten Commandments.\u201d After 70 years, the film still attracts a crowd, placing it second on this week\u2019s chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMarshals,\u201d CBS\u2019s current Sunday night offering from the previously mentioned Sheridan, slides to third this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChicago Med\u201d is fourth this week, while its sister show \u201cChicago Fire\u201d comes in seventh. In between we have \u201cTracker\u201d and \u201cSurvivor,\u201d both on CBS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last, but never least, we have three airings of \u201cWheel of Fortune\u201d closing out the chart.<\/p>\n\n\n
