Every week, Parrot Analytics provides Business Insider the most in-demand original TV shows on streaming services.
This week sees the return of Hulu's "The Handmaid's Tale" to the list after a teaser for the third season aired during the Super Bowl.

Fans are anticipating the return of Hulu's Emmy-winning drama "The Handmaid's Tale" after a teaser for the third season aired during the Super Bowl last Sunday.

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.

Below are this week's seven most popular original shows on Netflix and other streaming services:

7. "Young Justice: Outsiders" (DC Universe)

Average demand expressions: 24,661,092

Description: "DC's teenage Super Heroes come of age in an animated world of super-powers, Super-Villains and super secrets as the team faces its greatest challenge yet as it takes on meta-human trafficking and the terrifying threat it creates for a society caught in the crossfire of a global and galaxy-wide genetic arms race."

Rotten Tomatoes critic score (Season 3): 91%

What critics said: "All things considered, Young Justice: Outsiders is poised to be a compelling and wild ride more than worthy of becoming DC Universe's second original series and first original animated series." — Laura Hurley, Cinemablend

Season 3 premiered on DC Universe January 4.

6. "Marvel's Daredevil" (Netflix)

Average demand expressions: 26,171,149

Rotten Tomatoes critic score (Season 3): 96%

What critics said: "Season 2 takes a carefully bold, gripping, and undeniably fun stab at it and in turn, is a much better show." — Keisha Hatchett, TV Guide
