The 10 most popular series on Netflix this week: December 2025
If you haven’t checked Netflix this week, let us just say the Top 10 is all over the place. Just in time for Christmas, the Top 10 list has taken a surprise turn. While people were expecting Stranger Things to rule the list (and it does), a few different shows have taken the top spot.
And guess what is sitting at number one? Man vs Baby. Yep. Rowan Atkinson, our dear Mr Bean himself, is trying to keep a baby alive without setting the kitchen on fire. It’s awkward in a classic Atkinson way, and people are clearly loving it. It’s not a show with big twists or long episodes… just pure, straight-up parenting panic. And it’s working. Everyone’s watching it like a breath of fresh air before bingeing on the serious stuff.
Now, after an adequate wait, Netflix has finally released the fifth season of Emily in Paris, and let us tell you, fans are losing it. She is still in heels, still ruining pitches, still somehow getting promoted. The reviews? Mixed. The views? Massive. Whether you love her or roll your eyes through every episode, Emily is trending. And this season is already messier than the last one. So if you embrace mess, we are assuming you’ve already watched it.
Now let’s talk about what’s really going on behind the scenes. Because this chart? It’s being hijacked by one name, Stranger Things. Season five, volume two, drops on Christmas Day, and we don’t know what Netflix put in the air, but people are bingeing every single season all over again. Stranger Things four is back. So are three, two and even season one. That is half the top 10 right there, just the gang from Hawkins dominating the platform. And it is kind of fun seeing everyone time-travel back to the Upside Down. You would think people would move on after all these years, but no, this show still runs the place.
And then we have Sean Combs: The Reckoning. Not easy to watch, but people are paying attention. After liking hundreds of memes on the internet, people are now watching the facts, and this Netflix docuseries has started a conversation that’s not going away anytime soon. Netflix has done documentaries before, sure, but this one? It’s cutting a bit deeper.
Also making waves: Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua. The moment it dropped, it was everywhere. Some people watched for the punches and some for the drama, but one thing was for sure: nobody could look away. Whatever the reason, it brought in a whole new wave of viewers. And Netflix knows exactly what it’s doing with these fight specials.
Rounding things off, Dave Chappelle: The Unstoppable is back in the top 10. No surprise there. He drops a mic, and people click play. That’s just how it goes.
So yeah, if your Netflix homepage is filled with demogorgons and boxing gloves, you are not alone. Netflix is doing everything at once this December, and it is all building up to December 25th. That’s when Stranger Things takes over again. And judging by the way people are already rewatching it, this final volume? It’s going to be big.
