• Every week, Parrot Analytics provides Business Insider the most in-demand original TV shows on streaming services.
• This week sees the addition of Netflix's "One Day at a Time" to the list, and anticipation for Hulu's "The Handmaid's Tale" rises.

The third season of Netflix's "One Day at a Time" debuted February 8, and anticipation for the return of "The Handmaid's Tale" is growing as Hulu revealed this week that the third season will premiere on June 25.

Every week, Parrot Analytics provides Business Insider with a list of the seven most "in-demand" TV shows on streaming services. The data is based on "demand expressions," the globally standardized TV demand measurement unit from Parrot Analytics. Audience demand reflects the desire, engagement, and viewership weighted by importance, so a stream or download is a higher expression of demand than a "like" or comment on social media.
