'The Office' Takes Top Spot on Netflix's Most-Watched Licensed Shows List
Netflix's list of 10 most-watched licensed shows has just been revealed and The Office is way up there! According to People, media strategist Scott Lazerson took to Twitter this week to unveil the titles, as compiled by ACTIVATE founder and CEO Michael Wolf, and the Dunder Mifflin comedy (unsurprisingly) takes home first prize.
According to the list, second to The Office is Friends, followed by Grey's Anatomy and NCIS. Criminal Minds comes in fifth and Shameless is in sixth place. Orange is the New Black comes seventh, and Supernatural follows closely behind. Taking up the lead is Parks and Recreation and in tenth place is Ozark.
People notes that the only two Netflix originals on the list are Orange is the New Black and Ozark.
The Office has been enjoying global success years after its conclusion in 2013, mostly because of Netflix. And because of its ever-growing popularity, new opportunities have come up for fans, most recently with the new podcast Office Ladies, hosted by Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey. The two actresses, who played Pam Beesly and Angela Martin, respectively, offer behind-the-scenes information for each episode of the beloved show.
But The Office won't be staying on Netflix forever. In fact, it was announced in June that the fan-favorite would be leaving the streaming service for NBCUniversal's new platform, Peacock, in 2021. So get all your binging in before the show leaves, and we're sure it will remain as the number one show until then.
