Euphoria finale – Euphoria’s series finale vaults HBO Max back to No. 1 on Samba TV’s weekly streaming chart, snapping Netflix’s two-week streak. The race for summer’s top spot is already underway, with House of the Dragon returning June 21 and new debuts landing across Netflix

For the second time in as many weeks, the streaming top spot has changed hands—this time because Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney’s world finally closed its chapter.

On Samba TV’s weekly Wrap Report streaming chart. HBO Max is back on top after audiences tuned in to the series finale of “Euphoria.” The teen drama first aired seven years ago this month. and while viewers only got three seasons and two specials. its stars—Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney among them—have since become fixtures across pop culture.

The timing matters as the tug of war between HBO Max and Netflix intensifies. After two weeks of Netflix ruling the roost, HBO Max reclaimed first place this week, even as the calendar turns toward summer. HBO Max is already setting up its next push: “House of the Dragon” returns on June 21.

Netflix answers with “The Boroughs,” rising to second place. The science-fiction mystery set in a retirement community is produced by the Duffer Brothers, creators of “Stranger Things.”

Amazon Prime Video then stakes its claim in third with “Spider-Noir.” It’s an intriguing new angle on the Spider-Man mythos, with Nicholas Cage bringing to life a character he voiced in the animated “Spider-Verse” films. All eight episodes dropped on May 27.

The chart’s next big pull still comes from Netflix: “The Crash,” the true-crime documentary that topped last week’s chart, remains in fourth. The horrible tale of a car accident that killed two teenagers has now held audiences for three weeks straight.

Prime’s momentum slips slightly. “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War” falls three spots in its second week on the chart, landing below those leaders.

A surprise entry adds another layer to the churn. “Cleaner” debuts at sixth this week, but it’s not new in the strictest sense. The Samuel L. Jackson-led thriller is nearly 20 years old. released theatrically in 2007. and it continues the Netflix pattern of older titles finding fresh life after joining the streaming library.

Apple TV+ holds steady in seventh with “Your Friends & Neighbors.” The dark comedy remains parked where it was last week, and its second season finale is set for June 5.

“The Four Seasons” lands in ninth on HBO Max, returning for a second season that tracks married couples as they navigate the ups and downs of midlife while on their quarterly vacations.

HBO Max closes the chart with a documentary that leans into mystery. “The Many Lives of Benjamin Kyle” bookends the list this week. digging into the backstory of an alleged amnesiac found naked and alone in 2004—an investigation that takes turns as it tries to uncover whether the man really forgot everything or if he is hiding something.

There’s also movement off the streaming charts and into traditional schedules. It was a transition week on linear television, with many premier titles wrapping for the summer. “2026 American Music Awards” tops that linear chart, followed by five episodes of “Wheel of Fortune” and three of “Jeopardy!”.

On CBS, “Marshals” is the lone scripted series to crack through, but the May 31 airing was a repeat after the show wrapped its season a week earlier.

  1. I swear these streaming charts are rigged. Netflix was on top for like two weeks and then Euphoria ends and boom, HBO jumps. Also Zendaya always gets everything, not even mad.

  2. I didn’t even finish Euphoria (got distracted) but I feel like the finale should’ve been a bigger deal than it was? Now it’s saying House of the Dragon comes back June 21 so people are just switching back and forth. Meanwhile The Boroughs is what now… sounds like a reality show about city politics? Idk.

  3. People really watching Spider-Noir with Nicholas Cage?? I thought that was an old rumor. And why is a car accident documentary staying on top for THREE weeks, like do folks just want depressing stuff in the middle of summer? Anyway HBO Max getting #1 makes sense since everyone in my feed was posting about Zendaya’s last episode.
