SkyShowtime reveals Yellowstone as the most watched series or movie in the Netherlands

SkyShowtime, the next great streaming service for Europe, today reveals the top 10 most viewed series and movies in the Netherlands, since the streaming service launched six months ago.

After a busy six months of streaming, SkyShowtime can reveal that the top 10 most popular and multi-award winning series and movies being watched by Dutch audiences are:

Kicking off at number one is Yellowstone, the original drama series from Academy Award nominee Taylor Sheridan. The Dutton family, led by John Dutton played by Kevin Costner, controls the largest contiguous cattle ranch in the United States. Amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds, and hard-earned respect – the ranch is in constant conflict with those it borders – an expanding town, an Indian reservation, and America’s first national park.  Seasons 1-5 of Yellowstone, the must watch series, are available to stream on SkyShowtime.

2022’s most popular blockbuster movie Top Gun: Maverick remains a firm favourite for audiences across the Netherlands and is available for subscribers to stream at no additional cost. After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. When he finds himself training a detachment of TOPGUN graduates for a specialized mission the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen, Maverick encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), call sign: Rooster, the son of Maverick’s late friend and Radar Intercept Officer Lt. Nick Bradshaw, aka Goose. Facing an uncertain future and confronting the ghosts of his past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his own deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it. 

Tulsa King, Sylvester Stallone’s series debut takes third place. The series follows New York mafia capo Dwight The General Manfredi (Stallone) just after he is released from prison after 25 years and unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Okla. Realising that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight slowly builds a crew from a group of unlikely characters, to help him establish a new criminal empire in a place that to him might as well be another planet. 

Jurassic World Dominion, the next thrilling adventure in the blockbuster franchise that has amassed billions at the global box office is the second most popular movie for Dutch subscribers. In this movie, and for the first time, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard join forces with returning franchise-favourites Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill. Set four years after the destruction of Isla Nublar, dinosaurs now live alongside humans across the world and threaten to overtake humanity as the planet's apex predators.  SkyShowtime is home to other movies from the franchise, including Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park III and Jurassic World.

Dramatizing an epic 26th-century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant, HALO the series weaves deeply drawn personal stories with action, adventure and a richly imagined vision of the future.  

Additionally, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds which is based on the years Captain Christopher Pike manned the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise stands strong in the top 10. The series follows Captain Pike, Science Officer Spock and Number One in the years before Captain Kirk boarded the U.S.S. Enterprise, as they explore new worlds around the galaxy.

Also sitting in the top 10 is The Northman movie, from visionary director Robert Eggers is an action-filled epic that follows a young Viking prince on his quest to avenge his father’s murder, with an all-star cast that includes Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ethan Hawke, Björk, and Willem Dafoe.

Lastly, the remaining series from the Yellowstone story fill the last spots in the top 10:  1883 - the origin story follows the Dutton family as they embark on a journey west through the Great Plains. The limited series is a stark retelling of Western expansion and an intense study of one family fleeing poverty to seek a better future in America's promised land: Montana. Lead cast include Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill. 

1923 - the next instalment of the Dutton family origin story, stars Academy Award nominee Harrison Ford and Academy Award winner Helen Mirren.
