Blue Mountain State, the comedy that premiered on Spike in 2010, is currently ranked No. 2 among Top TV Shows on Lionsgate+ and has held the No. 1 spot in Germany since November 3, 2026. The series also charts at No. 10 on Lionsgate+ in the United Kingdom.
Why it matters
The show's sustained chart performance years after its original run suggests a continuing audience that grew after its cancellation following three seasons. Its renewed visibility on streaming platforms gives viewers outside its original broadcast market a new way to access the series.
Blue Mountain State holds an 88% average Popcornmeter score on Rotten Tomatoes, while its first season drew only a 13% critic approval rating. A 2014 Kickstarter campaign raised $1.5 million to fund a follow-up film, but the reason for the current chart surge was not addressed in the source.
