Notes

1. Limited theatrical release, currently the second most-watched film on Netflix within 28 days of release.
2. While the series premiered in 2018, it was only since second season in 2019 that McKay separated from Gary Sanchez Productions that Hyperobject Industries got added as a production company in closing logos. Thereby, also making it the first ever credit for this venture across any medium even as McKay continues to be credited alongside his Gary Sanchez partner Will Ferrell in a single card as an executive producer.
