As the fight for mindshare and subscribers among CTV apps continues, premium content has emerged as one of the major factors in an apps ability to increase engagement with viewers. Prestige television continues to drive audiences to apps, and we are seeing increasing diversity in the apps that users engage with month-to-month, possibly driven by premieres of major programming.

But content is expensive to produce, so it needs to deliver. These are the programs that best delivered engagement and attention in May 2022.
