Systems and methods for providing media asset recommendations for a group

A method for providing media recommendations for a group, the method comprising:

• identifying a group comprising at least a first user and a second user;
• retrieving, using control circuitry, from a database a list of media assets which the first and second users have previously accessed;
• searching the list of media assets, using the control circuitry, for a media asset of which the first and second users have previously accessed less than a duration of the media asset, the first and second users having previously accessed the media asset at different times;
• retrieving from storage, using the control circuitry, a first amount of the media asset duration that the first user has accessed the media asset, wherein the first amount is calculated based on a time that the first user stopped accessing the media asset;
• retrieving from storage, using the control circuitry, a second amount of the media asset duration that the second user has accessed the media asset, wherein the second amount is different from the first amount, wherein the second amount is calculated based on a time that the second user stopped accessing the media asset;
• and
• applying, using the control circuitry, a criterion to the first and second amounts of the media asset duration to determine whether to generate a recommendation for the media asset to the group, wherein applying the criterion comprises determining whether a difference between the first amount of the media asset duration and the second amount of the media asset duration is below a threshold.
