Thirty shows make up EpisodePing's most-tracked table this month, drawn from a catalogue of 2,145 series and 538,170 episodes. Between them they add up to 110 seasons of television. The genre mix will not surprise anyone. The distribution should: twelve of the thirty sit on two services, and of the three shows premiering between now and mid-November, two belong to that same pair.
That is the practical question for anyone deciding which subscriptions earn their keep. Here is where the list actually lives.
Twelve labels, thirty shows
Paramount+ holds six of the thirty. Apple holds six as well, though the data splits them across two tags: four Apple TV+ and two Apple TV. Netflix has four, Prime Video has four, and HBO with HBO Max carries four between them. ABC has two. The last four are single entries: Max, Disney+, Showtime and Comedy Central.
Twelve labels for thirty shows, and two of those labels account for 40 percent of a list built entirely from what people chose to follow.
Paramount+ owns the top of the table
Landman is first overall: eight tracks, three seasons, one genre tag, Drama. Its description places it among the boomtowns of West Texas.
Tulsa King follows at five tracks over four seasons, a New York mafia capo story tagged Crime, Drama and Comedy. MobLand matches it on five tracks with two seasons and a war between two London crime families.
Mayor of Kingstown has four tracks across four seasons. 1923 carries three tracks over two seasons of Dutton family history. Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, three tracks and a single season, is the odd one out: its only tag is Sci-Fi & Fantasy, and it is the one Paramount+ entry with neither Crime nor Drama attached.
Six shows, 16 seasons, and the number one slot on the list. No other single label holds more than four.
Apple's six run deeper
For All Mankind is the longest at five seasons on three tracks, built around an alternate history in which the space program never wound down. Severance has three seasons and five tracks, its office workers carrying surgically divided memories. Foundation has three seasons and four tracks. Hijack has two seasons and three tracks. Pluribus and Murderbot are both single-season entries, Pluribus on five tracks, Murderbot on three, the latter about a security robot that quietly acquires free will.
Fifteen seasons between them, one fewer than Paramount+, and two of the three premieres in the window below. Apple's footprint on this list is wider than its top-end numbers suggest.
Netflix's four include the only two that stopped
Zero Day, one season, and Stranger Things, five, are the only two shows in the thirty whose status reads Ended. Everything else is Returning Series or, in one case, In Production.
Nobody Wants This has three seasons and four tracks; Bridgerton has five seasons and four tracks, set in Regency-era England. Fourteen seasons across the four, and five of those fourteen belong to the show that will not be adding more.
Prime Video's four share a single tag
Gen V, Fallout, The Terminal List and The Terminal List: Dark Wolf are all tagged Action & Adventure, the only service in the table where every entry shares a genre. Gen V and Fallout each have two seasons and four tracks. The Terminal List has two seasons and three tracks. Dark Wolf, a prequel set five years earlier, has one season, three tracks, and the only In Production status in the thirty.
Seven seasons across four shows. That is the shallowest bench of any of the four-show groups, and the one most dependent on what comes next.
The long tail is where the depth sits
HBO's three are Task, seven tracks over two seasons, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, seven tracks in a single season set a century before Game of Thrones, and The Last of Us, three tracks over two. HBO Max adds Peacemaker at five tracks and two seasons.
ABC's two carry thirteen seasons between them: The Rookie at nine seasons and five tracks, Will Trent at four and three. That is more seasons than Prime Video's four shows manage, from half the entries.
Then the singles. The Pitt on Max, six tracks and three seasons in a Pittsburgh trauma centre. Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+, six tracks and two seasons. Yellowjackets on Showtime, three tracks and four seasons. And South Park on Comedy Central, four tracks and 29 seasons.
South Park alone accounts for just over a quarter of the 110 seasons in the table. The average across all thirty shows is 3.7.
Why the tags flatter some services
Apple TV and Apple TV+ are two strings pointing at one service. HBO, HBO Max and Max are three strings spanning two brands. Count the labels and Paramount+ looks like a clear winner at six. Merge the tags and Apple draws level, HBO's group grows to four, and the picture at the top flattens.
That is a data note as much as a viewing one. Any count built on raw network strings will overstate fragmentation, which is why the twelve-of-thirty figure is the conservative way to read it.
Three premieres, two on Apple
The window is thin. Newlyweds arrives on NBC on Friday 23 October, a comedy about a free-spirited woman and a reserved professor who marry quickly after a brief courtship. Nocturne lands on Apple TV on Thursday 29 October, a crime and mystery series in which a victim of a notorious serial killer turns up alive. 12 12 12, also Apple TV, follows on Thursday 12 November, a heist story told across three timelines.
Two of three on one service, and the third on a broadcast network that appears nowhere else in the tracked thirty.
What the list is good for
Thirty shows, twelve labels, 110 seasons, and two services holding twelve of them. This is not a ranking of quality. It is a snapshot of what people chose to keep up with, and this month they chose a narrow set of places to do it from.
If you already track something here, its show page will tell you what is scheduled next. If you do not, the four-season and five-season entries are the better place to start than the single-season ones: there is simply more to watch while the next batch of episodes is being made.
