Seinfeld Joins Nick at Nite on Memorial Day; New Netflix Series Tops Weekly Chart
Nick at Nite will quietly add Seinfeld to its nighttime lineup airing weeknights from 2am-4am. It will air in between blocks of Friends and Mike & Molly. Mom will be moving back to TV Land starting next week.
Seinfeld already airs on Viacom-owned Comedy Central. No other timeslots have been added just yet on Nick at Nite, but that could change if it does well next week. Nick at Nite will begin with the third episode "The Robbery," where George (Jason Alexander) persuades Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld) to get a new apartment---but it's the one George wants.
The verdict is in. The Lincoln Lawyer topped the English TV list with a whopping 108.09M hours viewed, making it the most viewed title of the week. Starring Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, the drama made the Top 10 in 90 countries. In advance of the highly anticipated return of Season 4, Vol. 1, Stranger Things Season 1 entered the list with 9.49M hours viewed. Ozark Season 4 came in at #2 with 31.4M hours viewed, appearing in 50 countries. Starring Jason Bateman and Laura Linney, the series also jumped into the 9th spot on the Most Popular list with 480.85M hours viewed. Boss Baby: Back in the Crib brought the entire family together. The animated series debuted in third place with 16.52M hours viewed. Emmy-winning Love, Death + Robots' third volume returned with 14.42M hours viewed. The animated anthology cracked the Top 10 in 28 countries. Remaining on the list for a second week in a row was The Circle Season 4 (15.44M hours viewed), Bling Empire Season 2 (15.23M hours viewed), Bridgerton Season 2 (13.66M hours viewed), Workin' Moms Season 6 (12.74M hours viewed) and Savage Beauty (11.39M hours viewed).
