Pedro Pascal’s TV dominance continues as ‘The Mandalorian’ climbs the Nielsen streaming charts

The daddy of the apocalypse, and the stars.

We may be slowly reaching the tail end of Pedro Pascal season as The Mandalorian begins to wind up to its final few episodes. However, the most up-to-date Nielsen ratings data sees both the Star Wars TV series as well as HBO’s The Last of Us in the top five most streamed shows for the week of Feb. 27 – March 5.

Despite the absence of You in Nielsen’s charts this week, Netflix was still able to continue its streaming dominance, no thanks to the debut of the third season of Outer Banks, which ranked first for the second week in a row. The number two spot was taken out by the three episode Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal docuseries (via Deadline). 

Then we reach Pedro Pascal’s shows – HBO’s The Last of Us was the third most-streamed show of the week, and The Mandalorian ranked fifth, with NCIS splitting the pair in the number four spot.

We’ve been closely watching and waiting to see whether or not The Last of Us is going to be able to snag the top spot as Nielsen’s data updates. While it has been sitting pretty in the top five for a few straight weeks, it still hasn’t been able to dethrone some of Netflix’s heaviest hitters, including You, and a critically panned romcom

While HBO’s The Last of Us may have wrapped up its first season, it is available to stream in its entirety on HBO Max. Meanwhile, new episodes of The Mandalorian are still arriving weekly on Disney Plus.
