After two weeks at the number one spot on Netflix‘s list of most-watched series, season six of Cobra Kai has been dethroned by a newcomer. A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, which adapts its story from the young adult fiction classic of the same name, hit the streaming service last week and has shot straight to the top of the list.

The series stars Emma Myers, who may be a familiar face to fans of Wednesday. In A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, she plays a student who opts to write her extended project qualification about a local murder. In its first week on Netflix, the show has amassed an impressive 7,400,000 views.

As a result, the first part of the sixth season of Cobra Kai has been relegated to the second spot on the list after spending two weeks at number one. The view count for the new season still stands strong at just over four million.

Fans of the show don’t have too long to wait before a new instalment of the martial arts series arrives. The second part of season six is set to arrive on Netflix later this year, on November 15th, while the final instalment is pencilled in for 2025.

The documentary mini-series Simone Biles Rising took home bronze as the third most-watched series this week. This marks the docu-series’ third week in the top 10, showing streaming users’ ongoing interest in the stories behind the Olympic games. The series provides an insight into Biles’ life behind the scenes as well as her preparation for the Olympics.

Simone Biles Rising isn’t the only documentary to feature on the list. The limited series Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam continues to capture the interest of viewers, appearing on the list for the second week running. The new volume of Unsolved Mysteries also garnered an impressive audience, pulling in just over three million views.

After returning to the streaming service in July, raunchy reality TV series Too Hot to Handle is still gathering viewers in its sixth season. It has spent three weeks on the top 10 list, and amassed 2,700,000 views this week.
