In this post, we feature several important metrics for TVision's clients that are interested in understanding how and where viewers engage with CTV: Share of Time Spent, Attention, Co-Viewing, and Bingeing. We highlight the top five shows in each of these categories What engaged viewers best in December of 2021? "The Witcher," which captured the largest share of time spent in the month - posted two seasons in the top 5. It was another thriller though, "Evil," on Paramount+ that captured attention best in the month.  Viewers interested in more-family programming headed over to Disney+ for Marvel programming like "Hawkeye" (2nd in Share of Time Spent) and "Spidey and his Amazing Friends." The cartoon captured the top spot for co-viewing.

For this report, we are specifically looking at time spent with new, original, episodic CTV programming. While December is known for Christmas movies, it was a decidedly Halloween-ensque drama that captured viewer engagement best in the month. The Season 2 premiere of The Witcher on Netflix drove increased interest in Season 1 of the show as well. It's notable that The Witcher series took both the first and fifth spot on our list of share of time spent. Accounting for an impressive 9% of Share of Time Spent viewing on CTV in December.  Disney+ also captured viewing time with its programming , Hawkeye (S1) and The Beatles: Get Back.
