The 10 most popular series on Netflix this week: August 2025

The Netflix most popular chart this week looks like one heck of a rollercoaster, and you are going to want to keep up. Some shows are dominating because they are brand new, while others are dominating because people just can’t let them go. If you are stuck scrolling and don’t know what to watch, let us make this easy for you.

Right at the top is Wednesday: Season 2. No surprise there. The Addams queen came back with more mysteries and sharper lines, along with a vibe that makes you want to binge it at night with the lights off. If you haven’t started, you are already behind the memes. Another reason to hurry is that the second volume of the second season is on September 3rd, and you want to match the pace.

Sitting right underneath is Hostage, the limited series everyone is watching these days. This show makes you want to watch just one more episode before dragging you into a full-night watch. It’s tense in a way that keeps you frozen, and if you press play, you won’t stop.

In third place, Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser is making people rethink everything they thought they knew about the show. It digs behind the cameras, and once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Addictive in a way documentaries rarely are. Meanwhile, the original Wednesday season has crept back into the rankings. People are rewatching to catch every clue they might have missed the first time. Admit it, you have thought about doing the same.

Then comes Untamed. This one has the ultimate late-night binge-watch energy. It is Netflix at its most dangerous. Right after that, Love Is Blind: UK: Season 2 has people glued to the pods. British accents, awkward silences, declarations of love that feel way too soon. Basically messy in the best way. You will cringe, you will laugh, and you will text your best friend screenshots.

Raw is next, the doc everyone has been whispering about since it dropped mid-August. It’s shocking and disturbing. And it is exactly the kind of show where you keep pausing to process.

The next show is no surprise to the Netflix ‘Top 10′ list, as it has been there for 23 long weeks. It’s none other than kids’ favourite Ms Rachel. Yes, that Ms Rachel. Parents are relieved, kids are obsessed, and let’s be honest… You have probably found yourself singing along, too.

At number nine, America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys is pulling in sports fans and non-fans alike. Even if you don’t care about football, the drama here hooks you. And closing out the list is The Hunting Wives. Think glossy friendship on the outside with a whole lot of scheming underneath. It is the thriller everyone thought would just be guilty pleasure TV, but it is so much juicier than that.

So that’s this week’s lineup. If your watchlist looks empty, it should not anymore. Netflix is basically daring you to juggle at least three of these at once, and honestly, why not?
