As awards season reaches its crescendo ahead of the Oscars, February’s UK streaming data reveals a clear winner in audience attention: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The much-anticipated fantasy drama has ridden a wave of awards buzz and franchise loyalty to claim the top spot on the UK TV Streaming Charts, underlining the enduring appetite for prestige storytelling in Westeros.
According to JustWatch’s latest insights, Oscar-nominated films such as Sinners, The Ballad of Wallis Island, and Train Dreams have enjoyed significant post-nomination streaming surges. Yet while films saw awards-driven spikes, it was A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms that truly captured sustained viewer curiosity throughout February.
A prequel set decades before the events of Game of Thrones, the series follows Ser Duncan the Tall and his unlikely companion as they navigate a realm on the brink of political upheaval. Audiences have responded enthusiastically to the show’s character-driven storytelling and grounded tone, helping it secure the #1 TV ranking across Sky Go and Now TV.
Platforms Battle for Dominance
February’s charts highlight increasingly fierce competition among UK streaming platforms. Sky Go emerged as the most dominant service overall, with nine total mentions across the Top 10 Movies and Top 10 TV Shows combined. The #1 movie was Sinners, Ryan Coogler’s vampire thriller tipped for the Best Picture prize, while the #1 TV series was A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
Meanwhile, Netflix demonstrated strong momentum on the movie side, claiming three Top 10 film slots and four total mentions across both charts. Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ also secured multiple TV placements, reflecting the fragmentation of audience attention across premium platforms.

Cast Confessions: Guilty Pleasure Rewatches
Amid the show’s success, JustWatch caught up with the cast of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms to discuss their off-duty viewing habits.
Peter Claffey, who portrays the towering Ser Duncan the Tall (“Dunc”), revealed a surprising comfort watch: the Twilight film series. “I feel like it’s a great hungover day movie,” he joked.
Sam Spruell, who plays the stern Maekar Targaryen, opts for sharp-edged comedy instead, naming Curb Your Enthusiasm as his go-to rewatch. Meanwhile, Shaun Thomas, who plays Dunc’s loyal friend, Raymun Fossoway, prefers sports comedy classic Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. “I think it’s just so funny! I’ve been watching that since I was young,” he said.
These lighter picks offer a playful contrast to the political intrigue and chivalric drama that define their own series.
What to Watch in March
March promises another strong month for streamers in the United Kingdom, with several high-profile returns and premieres:
- Outlander (MGM+) — March 7
- One Piece (Netflix) — March 10
- Imperfect Women (Apple TV+) — March 18
- The Comeback (HBO Max) — March 22
- Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+) — March 2
While awards contenders continue to drive film viewership, February’s data makes one thing clear: audiences remain deeply invested in epic, character-led television. With A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms leading the charge and major franchises returning in March, the battle for streaming dominance in 2026 is only just beginning.
