In an exciting first week for 2025, When the Phone Rings made a pretty strong exit next to the premiere of both Love Scout and When the Stars Gossip. Although Sorry Not Sorry was pre-empted for special programming, on the weekend we also saw The Tale of Lady Ok’s breakthrough into double digits while Iron Family took another step up closer to 20%.
