The 10 most popular series on Netflix this week: November 2025
Imagine sitting in a room with ten people, all with different tastes in cinema, and then deciding what to watch. Sounds messed up, right? But that’s exactly what has happened with the Top 10 series chart on Netflix this week.
The titles move from fantasy battles to real-estate drama to true crime, and audiences appear happy to jump between them. November has turned out to be a safe space for all varieties of viewers, and they are using that advantage to the fullest. Result: a list showing all genres.
At the top, we have The Witcher. Season four has restarted the usual online arguments, which guarantees views. The story picks up from where Cavill left off and keeps shifting between violence and silence. After a lot of rage, it seems like people have finally accepted Liam Hemsworth as the new Witcher.
Then there is Nobody Wants This, which is refusing to budge from its top second position. Noah and Joanne’s relationship has officially entered the second phase and is now struggling with more real-life challenges as the honeymoon phase is over, and they are suddenly realising that love doesn’t automatically make you compatible.
Another one everyone’s glued to is Bad Influencer, ranking at number three. It’s about a luxury-obsessed influencer who gets tangled in a counterfeit handbag scandal, and the deeper it goes, the darker it gets. You might just play the pilot to see what the fuss is about, and there are high chances that you’ll end up finishing three episodes because you will want to see how far she’ll go before everything collapses. Spoiler: very far.
Selling Sunset season nine is back, too, and the drama per square foot still outprices the houses. You have got new listings, the same old feuds, and open houses just like the last time. Even if you don’t care about real estate, you might find yourself shedding some tears when one of them starts crying over a deal falling through. The comfort TV, disguised as selling a luxury lifestyle, might be the reason people keep watching it.
The presence of Death by Lightning in this list feels like a complete gear shift. In case you didn’t know, it’s a political drama about President James Garfield’s assassination. But hear us out, it’s gripping. Matthew Macfadyen and Michael Shannon make 19th-century politics feel uncomfortably current. It is serious and beautifully shot, and you will love it.
Then we have Squid Game: The Challenge back for season two, and it’s still emotionally exhausting in the best way. You see, the real Squid Game might have ended earlier this year, but Netflix decided to bring in real contestants and real alliances to keep us entertained. You watch people cry, strategise, and self-destruct on camera, and it’s impossible to look away.
Leanne Morgan: Unspeakable Things popped up next at number seven, and we have only one word for it: hilarious. It’s a stand-up special about midlife crises, husbands who never listen, and why every family holiday ends in someone crying in a car.
And, of course, Stranger Things season one is back because we are getting closer to the release of season five. People are most definitely gearing up for the final season, and soon this list will see all the seasons topping it.
The rest of the list rounds off with Raw 2025 and The Bad Guys: Breaking In, because nothing screams “Netflix variety” like wrestling theatrics and animated heists. Raw still has more storylines than some dramas you will ever watch, and The Bad Guys is a smart, funny spin-off that feels like the perfect show for anyone too tired of murder and heartbreak.
