For the month of April, 2026, on the TVision Power Score, Apple TV+'s "Your Friends & Neighbors" (Season 2) takes the #1 spot on the TVision Power Score. A new entry going straight to the top. The second season didn't just hold onto its audience — it grew. That's rare for a sophomore run, and it tells you Apple TV+ has a real franchise on its hands.

At #2 is Max's "The Pitt" (Season 2), holding steady after a strong weekly run that culminated in its season finale. Consistent attention all month long — no big dips, no drop-off. Viewers committed to this one from start to finish, and that kind of sustained pull is exactly what separates a hit from a moment.

And at #3, Amazon's "The Boys" (Season 5) lands as a new entry for the month. The final season launched in April and immediately commanded massive attention. The Butcher vs. Homelander showdown brought viewers in, and they stayed locked in. A fitting start to what's shaping up to be one of the biggest series finales in streaming.

For the month of April, Amazon's "Balls Up" debuts at #1 on the TVision Power Score for movies. A brand new title going straight to the top of the chart. Amazon's been quietly stacking its film slate, and this one broke through in a big way — strong attention right out of the gate.

At #2 is Netflix's "Thrash," another new entry that wasted no time climbing the chart. The film pulled strong viewership numbers from the moment it dropped — the kind of first-month performance that stands out in a crowded original film landscape. Netflix keeps proving it can win the attention game on the movie side too.

And at #3, Disney+'s "Zootopia 2" climbs one spot from last month's #4. The animated sequel has legs. It's not spiking and fading — it's building. Family content tends to have a longer tail, and this one is proving that out. Steady, durable attention month over month.

Methodology & Metrics

TVision measures Viewer Presence and Attention for every second of programming and advertising on television. Every time a person walks into the room, our technology detects who the viewer is, where they are in the room, and what their eyes are looking at. We do all this without personally identifying individual users, and without transmitting any images or videos. TVision’s data is collected from an opt-in panel of 5,000 homes across the United States and weighted to represent the country. All demographic data is self-reported by the respondents. Linear and CTV ad impressions data in this report is from May 1 – May 31, 2023 or May 29 – June 4, 2023, unless otherwise indicated.

About the TVision Power Score

The TVision Power Score is a completely new ranking designed to factor in both viewership and engagement when measuring the performance of CTV programming. The Power Score is based on the industry’s most comprehensive view of the CTV landscape - TVision measures activity across over 1,000 apps - and enables an accurate understanding of the relative performance of CTV content across any app. This new way to understand show performance will enable industry watchers to more quickly identify trending content and CTV’s hottest programming and even uncover hidden gems distributed through smaller apps.

The TVision Power Score factors in four key metrics: the amount of time viewers pay attention to the program, the amount of program time available for the season, the program’s reach, as well as the application’s reach. This combination of metrics was chosen to enable a neutral look at the quality of programming and its unique, inherent ability to draw in viewers - regardless of the scale of the platform, or the program’s release schedule.
