HBO’s House of the Dragon continued to soar above its competitors at the start of July.
The Game of Thrones prequel series was 92 times more in demand than the average TV series in Canada during the week of July 1 to 7, according to Parrot Analytics. The series is currently streaming on Crave in Canada, with the season two finale set to run Aug. 4.
Prime Video’s The Boys maintained its lead on the digital originals chart and the No. 2 spot on the overall chart, despite a more than 10-point drop in demand from the previous week. Netflix’s Bridgerton saw a similar drop in demand, falling from No. 2 to No. 4 this week, with Prime Video’s Hazbin Hotel clawing back its No. 2 position with its steady demand rate.
Disney+ series The Acolyte maintained its No. 3 spot on the digital chart. The streamer dropped weekly episodes until July 16.

Editor’s note: Due to a data processing issue with Parrot Analytics, the weekly Hot Sheet is being published with back-dated numbers for an indefinite period.
Parrot Analytics calculates its Top 10 lists using Demand Expressions, which are shown by using a metric that demonstrates how much more in-demand the top series are than the average TV show (linear, pay TV, SVOD and AVOD) in Canada. For example, a difference of 1x represents the market average and 10x means a series is 10 times more in demand than the average TV show in this market.
