Furthermore, Giannina Gibelli and Bachelor Nation‘s Blake Horstmann have also added a sweet little boy, Heath, to the Lib circle as of March 2024. While the babies are starting to boom for Lib, there is still room for more lovable little people.

Kim Kardashian was met with resounding boos at Netflix’s roast of Tom Brady — but you’d never know it unless you watched it live.
The streamer has edited out the portion of the roast where Kardashian was booed, TVLine has confirmed. (The Hollywood Reporter first noted the change.) In Sunday’s original live broadcast, Kardashian was booed loudly as she took the stage at the roast, stopping midway through her first joke to glare at the crowd as several of her fellow roasters came to her defense. But in the version currently streaming on Netflix, the booing is nowhere to be found.

Reality shows on Netflix are bizarre. They come in different forms and shapes, with a winner in the end based on who was able to endure the rules of the game. Squid Game: The Challenge, Physical 100, Surviving Paradise, Selling Sunset, Love is Blind, and Indian Matchmaking are some examples of reality shows that have appeared on Netflix for the world to watch. Despite its mediocre content, a percentage of the audience from around the world consumes these shows, which encourages Netflix to come up with newer forms of entertainment.

Tom Brady may be the greatest of all time, but his roast wasn’t. The thing is, it maybe could have been.
Netflix is all about eventizing these days, and probably the easiest way to do that — outside of sports rights — is live programming. Sunday’s “The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady,” had plenty of sports and too much live-ness for its own good.
The roast began at 8 p.m. Et/5 p.m. Pt, and proceeded to run, non-stop, for more than three hours. Never have commercials on Netflix been more needed. Or a video editor.
What was the point of doing this live? The danger, sure, but roasts are dangerous by their very nature. Live makes it an even thinner tightrope, we get that, but at what expense? The answer: enjoyment.

CBS is taking a page out of Netflix’s playbook by announcing its programming success in the billions of minutes watched.
If you were wondering what that might mean to a broadcast network, it measures out to 456 billion minutes of CBS programming watched in the first four months of 2024.
With two new hits on its hands — Tracker and Elsbeth — this doesn’t surprise us in the least.
Here’s the real measure of their success, though.
Viewers delivered over 30% more time spent in front of CBS programming than Netflix and over 231% more than all other streamers combined.
No wonder they’re patting themselves on the back.
Those are incredible numbers that often go unnoticed when you use traditional ratings tools to deliver the news.
Even crazier, the time spent watching CBS programming has increased by 5.8% over the same period in 2023.
People often wonder how shows can be considered a success...

The Season 17 star confessed that he didn’t initially sign up for the marital experiment, but was recruited on social media.
That’s how he learned about filming for the new season and how his journey began.
Things took an unexpectedly rocky turn for Michael early into the process when he became a part of a historic moment.

It was also the first time a participant was given a second chance with a replacement bride — Chloe Brown later in the season — but let’s get to how it all started for the 38-year-old.

Netflix’s 3 Body Problem delivered its second straight No. 1 showing among streaming titles, leading the rankings for the last week of March. The acquired series top 10 had several new entrants, thanks in part to a change in how Nielsen reports the numbers.
The ratings service says it made an “enhancement” to its Streaming Content Ratings, which is the basis for the weekly top 10 lists, that results in a number of programs being added to the Scr product. (They weren’t previously “due to business agreements which preceded the rankings, coupled with the associated technical aspects of measurement.”) The affected programs stream mostly on Hulu and Peacock after airing on linear networks.
The upshot is that former Fox series The Resident (1.48 billion minutes on Hulu and Netflix) and animated mainstays Family Guy (837 million minutes on Hulu) and American Dad (619 million on Hulu) all made their first appearance in the top...

Love Is Blind has brought together quite a few couples who might’ve never meant if it wasn’t for the show. Other contestants haven’t been so lucky. One season 6 contestant from the hit show, who couldn’t find what he was looking for, might turn to another reality show for true romance.

Netflix‘s earnings report for the first quarter of 2024 included some encouraging numbers, but a warner about the future caused the streamer’s stock price to decline. Netflix shares fell by as much as 8% after the company revealed that it would discontinue its practice of sharing quarterly subscriber gains.
Let’s start with the good news: Q1 2024 turned out pretty well for Netflix. Thanks to its global slate of originals, which included Q1 releases like Love Is Blind season six (pictured above), the streamer hit $9.33 billion in sales, while net income grew to $2.33 billion. Both of those numbers exceeded analyst projections.
Netflix’s subscriber numbers are also looking healthy. 9.33 million customers signed up for accounts during the first quarter; in comparison, analyst estimates for Netflix’s Q1 subscriber gain averaged out to 4.84 million customers, so the actual number was nearly twice as big as projections.

The docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV posted Max’s best streaming numbers to date for its premiere week.
The show, which streamed on Max concurrent with its on-air premiere on ID, had 1.25 billion minutes of viewing for the week of March 18-24. That’s the largest weekly total for any series on Max in the nearly four years of Nielsen’s streaming rankings, edging out the 1.19 billion for The Last of Us in early 2023.
Netflix’s 3 Body Problem grabbed the overall No. 1 spot for the week (it premiered March 21), racking up 1.37 billion minutes over its first four days. The sci-fi series narrowly beat Prime Video’s remake of Road House, which had 1.32 billion minutes of viewing in the United States.

Netflix reported its first-quarter 2024 earnings Thursday, revealing it added a whopping 9.33 million paid subscribers.
Analysts consensus estimates were for Netflix to add 3.93 million paid subs globally in Q1 (to reach 264.21 million), according to StreetAccount. Per Netflix, it has now climbed to 269.60 million subs as of March 31.
These impressive Q1 results come following a better-than-expected 13.1 million subscribers added for the fourth quarter of 2023, which was a Q4 record for Netflix. Despite this back-to-back growth worth boasting about, Netflix announced Thursday it will stop reporting quarterly sub totals beginning in 2025, a move that is sure to shock an industry that has been fueled by the battle for streaming subscribers for years.
The Q1 2024 lineup that fueled Netflix’s sub growth included its live-action adaptation of “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” the “Game of Thrones” creator’s sci-fi series “3 Body Problem,” Guy Ritchie’s “The Gentleman,” the latest season of “Love Is Blind,...

Love is blind — or is it?
Netflix had an absolute smash hit on its hands from the moment Love Is Blind Season 1 premiered.
From its impeccable set design, down-to-earth hosts, and a relatable cast with a flair for drama, the show has it all.
At least, that's what it seems.
While its massive fan base is undeniable, it's hard to overlook the fact that a glaringly large portion of the population is unrepresented on Love Is Blind.
The concept of this reality dating series is that looks shouldn't matter when finding a partner to spend your life with. At least, that's what they tell us.
But as much as they tout that premise, they still happily and exclusively cast conventionally attractive, thin, and mostly white participants.
The producers also haven't explored opening up the series to include the LGBTQ+ community, a move that other similar shows have found successful.

Once again, TV usage was down in March with broadcast TV receiving the smallest percentage among the primary viewing categories.
Broadcast TV saw a 6% usage decline from February to March, accounting for just 22.5% of viewing. Year-over-year, broadcast viewing has fallen 4%, according to Nielsen’s monthly report, The Gauge.
On a yearly basis, cable viewing saw the largest usage decline at 10%. However, it remained resilient at 283.% of viewing thanks in part to March Madness. Sports cable viewing was up 43% in the month of March, according to Nielsen, which also notes that the women’s NCAA tournament had a larger impact on viewership than it usually does.
The State of the Union also gave cable a boost, since 32.2M viewers tuned into that March 7 event.
Streaming is still making up the majority of TV usage, only falling 1% from February to represent 38.5% of the total share. As is typical, YouTube took the largest...

If there's one thing more popular than true crime documentaries on Netflix, it's surely reality shows. The streamer has churned out a string of highly successful reality series, from "Love is Blind" to the controversial "Squid Game" reality show that was criticized for alleged "inhumane" conditions on the set. Now, the streamer has debuted its latest unorthodox take on the reality format with "Unlocked: A Jail Experiment," and it's another pretty controversial (and hugely popular) one from Netflix.
The show chronicles Arkansas sheriff Eric Higgins' radical approach to changing the conditions in Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility in Little Rock, Arkansas. That is to say that Higgins essentially handed over one unit of the county jail to its inmates. According to Tudum, "Unlocked: A Jail Experiment" is "an eight-episode exploration of what happens when unit cells are unlocked for six weeks, and detainees create community and structure for themselves." What could possibly go wrong?...

Megan Fox is finally addressing the Love Is Blind controversy involving Season 6 cast member Chelsea Blackwell. After Blackwell told then-boyfriend Jimmy Presnell that Fox was her celebrity doppelgänger, Blackwell received a barrage of hate from online critics about the comparison. Fox is now stepping up and defending Blackwell. “I didn’t watch it, but I think in general, no one deserves to get bullied,” Fox told E! News. “I don’t think she deserved that. I think people went way too hard. I did see a picture of her. A hundred thousand percent, people have told her, ‘You kind of look like Megan Fox.'” She added, “I believe she’s telling the truth and I hope like she still has that sparkle in her eye. I hope the world didn’t steal it from her. Mine died long ago from being bullied for 20 years. So I hope that didn’t happen to her.

Megan Fox finally weighed in on the “Love Is Blind” controversy that erupted earlier this year when Season 6 cast member Chelsea Blackwell told her eventual fiancé Jimmy Presnell that Fox was her celebrity doppelgänger. Presnell ended up telling Blackwell that wasn’t true, while “Love Is Blind” viewers bombarded social media platforms to roast and mock Blackwell for a comparison many thought wasn’t accurate.
“I’ve never had more people text me about something,” Fox told E! News’ “The Rundown.” “I don’t really watch TV very much. But I’ve had a lot of people text me and stop me. Even other celebrities at like Oscar parties were like, ‘Do you watch “Love is Blind”?’ And I was like, ‘No, but I know what you’re talking about.'”

Taylor Swift made her chart debut in Nielsen’s streaming rankings, as her concert movie The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) had a strong showing over its first four days of release on Disney+.
The film racked up 677 million minutes of viewing in the United States in the week of March 11-17 (it debuted on Disney+ on March 14), finishing second among movies and eighth among all titles for the week. Disney had previously said that The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) had 4.6 million views (defined as total viewing time divided by running time) worldwide over its first three days; the four days of Nielsen measurement translate to about 3.22 million views of the 3 1/2-hour film.

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) had some tough competition in its debut week on Disney+.
The film landed on the streamer March 14 and racked up 677M minutes in its first few days on the platform, according to Nielsen. That placed it at No. 8 overall on Nielsen’s streaming list for the week of March 11 to 17.
Nielsen says viewing was driven by an audience that was 70% female, and it was pretty evenly distributed across age ranges. Naturally, the 18-34 demo had the highest concentration of viewing with 26%.
Meanwhile, The Gentleman and Love Is Blind were jockeying for the top spot, with the former ultimately winning out. Although Love Is Blind marked its fourth consecutive week with over a billion viewing minutes (1.44B to be exact), it fell to third place this week.

When a streaming service has so much to offer it can be overwhelming, and instead of hunkering down with your popcorn for a movie night in, you end up scrolling in every direction, ultimately giving up in favor of another comfort episode of The Office. But now, The Criterion Channel is going to decide what you watch. No, it’s not some sort of spin-the-wheel-and-make-a-deal but rather a continuously running stream of movies from their catalog. That’s right, they’re making good on the “channel” part.
The streaming service, which launched in April 2019, sent an email to coincide with their fifth anniversary, which read: “Don’t know what to watch? Let us choose! Over on the Criterion Channel, we’re trying something new: Click on Criterion24/7 and drop into a steady stream of must-see movies, any time you want.”
But Criterion’s live stream isn’t your average “channel...

Love Is Blind held onto its reign atop Nielsen’s streaming charts for the first full week in March.
From March 4 to 10, the series racked up 1.5B minutes viewed. That’s thanks to the Season 6 reunion episode released on March 6, which Nielsen says tallied a more than a third of that viewing. The reunion saw half of its viewership concentrated on the day it was released — a pretty impressive feat for any streamer.
Netflix’s reality series was joined in the top three by two more of the streamer’s originals. Damsel stormed up the charts to No. 2 after its March 8 release with 1.2B viewing minutes, while The Gentlemen managed 1.2B minutes across its eight episodes following its March 7 debut.
Nielsen reports The Gentlemen attracted a slightly older audience, with half of its viewership coming from the 50+ demographic.
