First Week Peak: The One About Matthew Perry to be The One to Peak at #1
Welcome to First Week Peak, a column which discusses shows that are about to premiere on Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Paramount+, HBO Max, Peacock, Hulu, and/or Apple TV. Each discussion concludes with a prediction for the show's weekly peak performance on their respective streaming service's U.S. trending chart, including a reader poll. All Attention Scores come from Television Stats as of October 25, 2026. Final results can be found in our weekly What's Trending On Streaming column. Let us know what you think in the comments!
Six shows are premiering on streaming services this coming week, and all of them are series premieres. This includes two Netflix miniseries: the Matthew Perry 3-episode biography The One About Matthew Perry, and the 3-episode true crime docuseries The Fall of El Mayo. The true crime docuseries sub-genre performs extraordinarily well on Netflix, which gives reason to believe The Fall of El Mayo will be sampled upon its premiere. However, it is not expected to surpass The One About Matthew Perry from the top spot, which has the chance to dominate the chart for days.
Outside of miniseries, the most high-profile series premiere is Apple TV's crime drama Nocturne, based on the novels Lazarus and The Sandman. While it would be a tall task to surpass shows like Ted Lasso and Slow Horses on Apple TV's now-competitive chart, its 6.6 Attention Score demonstrates the series is getting early exposure and has the potential to perform well.
Hulu will be premiering a strategy/reality competition series The Mob this coming week. The show hails from the producers of The Traitors, and could turn out as being seen as anything between the next reality phenom and a cheap ripoff. While this would very likely perform well for Peacock, it's less certain for Hulu.
Netflix has two comedies making their series premieres this coming week: Minimum Wage and How to Ruin Diwali: Meet the Parents. Minimum Wage is a Netflix adaptation of an independent YouTube series, and co-stars new Saturday Night Live cast member Grace Reiter. While its short length time and comedy's general underperformance on Netflix make this unlikely to top the chart, it will likely cultivate enough of a cult audience to get renewed. Similar can be said for How to Ruin Diwali: Meet the Parents, which is of South African origin and much more likely to make a chart appearance in South Africa than it is in the United States.
