The CTV Shows That Engaged Audiences in April 2022

May 12

While Netflix reported troubling subscriber losses in April, it still holds the largest CTV audience by a wide-margin, so it's no surprise that its programming continues to top our Share of Time Spent list month in and month out. April 2022 was no exception. Bridgerton, Season 2 and Season 1 took the top two spots on our list. It's common to see earlier seasons of successful programs benefit from a boost in viewership when new seasons are released. Viewers are either catching up or re-watching to remind themselves about the storyline before beginning the new season.
