Netflix is buzzing with excitement as its latest hits dominate screens around the globe. The breakout limited series Adolescence has become a true sensation. Just three weeks after its release, it has secured a spot as one of the platform’s most popular shows of all time, amassing a staggering 96.7 million views. Proving its staying power, it topped the English TV charts yet again this week with 30.4 million views and achieved Top 10 status across all 93 countries where Netflix ranks its content.
But the success of Adolescence isn’t just a flash in the pan; it has already kicked Bridgerton Season 2 off the all-time Most Popular English TV list and is gunning for even bigger milestones, eyeing the number ten spot currently held by Stranger Things Season 3. With 72 days still left in its premiere window to rack up views, there’s no telling how high it can climb.
On the film front, The Life List has captured hearts worldwide. Starring Sofia Carson, Connie Britton, and Kyle Allen, this soulful romantic drama shot straight to No. 1 on the English film charts with 24.4 million views. Based on Lori Nelson Spielman’s beloved novel, its emotional storyline has earned it Top 10 spots in 88 countries.
Meanwhile, The Electric State, featuring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, remains near the top, holding strong at No. 2 in English films, although it has seen a decline with just 7.6 million views this week. The Netflix battlefield is ruthless, and only the strongest survive.
On the TV side, The Residence, starring Uzo Aduba, continues to perform strongly, claiming the No. 2 position among English programs, despite pulling in 8.8 million views in its first full week. While the numbers are not disastrous, they are not screaming renewal-worthy either. Time will tell if Netflix decides to roll the dice on another season, but for now, its fate hangs in the balance.
Reality fans can catch Million Dollar Secret, which debuted at No. 3 on the English TV list with 3.7 million views, proving that audiences love a good dose of drama. Monday night’s Raw episode followed in fourth place, while Running Point, starring Kate Hudson, came in at No. 6 with 2.3 million views. Even documentaries saw major success this week, with Con Mum and The Twister: Caught in the Storm making waves and drawing millions of viewers.
As the streaming giant continues to diversify its offerings, the competition among its original shows and films intensifies. Netflix’s lineup is loaded with variety, ensuring there’s something for everyone. The question is—who is next on Adolescence’s hit list?
