The fourth season of The Boys premiered on June 13, 2024, and it ended on July 18, 2024, with the final viewership numbers being absolutely amazing. At the same time, HBO’s House of the Dragon is a series whose first season aired in 2022 and whose long-awaited second season finally premiered on Sunday, June 16, 2024, and ended on August 4, 2024. The series also managed to achieve great results and is considered to be a success.
But, despite both of these series doing extremely well and being deemed successful, the overall ratings for this year’s summer season show that neither The Boys Season 4 nor House of the Dragon Season 2 managed to win and that – in fact – both of these series have been triumphantly beaten by one show.
We haven’t really written about that show here on Fiction Horizon as it is of a different genre, but this Netflix series is the absolute winner of the summer season and we are going to reveal more in the upcoming paragraphs.
The official Nielsen numbers for The Boys Season 4 and House of the Dragon Season 2 are in, and they are quite good, to be frank, as these two series did well. We have already reported how The Boys managed to break several records, and while House of the Dragon was not a record-shattering series, it was as successful as the first one, and the fans can be satisfied with how the series played out.
But, as we have said, despite all these great numbers and records, neither of these two shows managed to come close to one undisputed winner of the summer season, which is a fact that the numbers confirm. In fact, it seems that the combined overall numbers for these two shows don’t surpass the triumphant winner, as this chart suggests:

So, which series was in first place? Well, you might have guessed it – it’s Bridgerton! We have already mentioned that in passing in several of our earlier reports, but it is fair to add that it managed to wipe the floor with the competition, as the Netflix romance series managed to score some amazing numbers this season, beating all the shows in every week, save for week for, but the overall ratings are simply amazing.
Of course, there is the fact that Bridgerton is aimed at a far wider audience than these two shows and that Netflix is the largest streaming service on the market, but these numbers are still impressive, and we cannot but these amazing results, so we can only congratulate everyone involved for this amazing success.
