Roku is the latest company to reveal its 2023 Year in Review. This time, the platform shares the year's top-searched movies and TV shows. Interestingly, Roku says people conducted more than 1.2 billion searches in the US, a nearly 50% increase from 2022.
As the company looks back at 2023 in Review, Roku says users will be able to stream fan favorites and more via its upcoming New Year's Central experience, which will also feature interactive trivia, sweepstakes, DooDash deals, and a special Roku city countdown clock set for 2024.
That said, these are the most searched movies, series, actors, and actresses on the platform in 2023 – and some comments of mine:
Top Searched Movies
