The 10 most popular series on Netflix this week: November 2026

The biggest dramas on Netflix have been knocked off their perch this week, and you will never guess who’s stolen the limelight… documentaries! Yes, people, even Keira Knightley running around getting herself into all sorts of espionage trouble didn’t stop viewers from turning their attention to real-life tragedies.

Sitting at number one is Taken: Natalee Holloway, which revisits the disappearance of an American teenager during a graduation trip to Aruba. You’ll follow her mother Beth’s search for answers, but beware, since this one’s going to leave you absolutely gutted. Decades of unanswered questions and a family desperate for closure: there’s no way people are not bingeing it.

People seem to be in the mood for sad content this week because, following the first documentary, we have The One About Matthew Perry. If you grew up watching FRIENDS, you should know how heartbreaking this documentary must be, given it uses footage from his family’s private archive to explore the actor’s life beyond Chandler Bing.

Thankfully, Nobody Wants This is giving us a little respite from all that emotional gut-wrenching. Joanne and Noah have shown us a whole new aspect of their relationship, about a month after its release, and it is still in the top three, showing how much viewers have been enjoying.

And then we’ve got the brand new Black Doves, with Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw back in action. Helen and Sam are caught up in another dangerous mission, and this time, Neve Campbell has joined the cast alongside Ambika Mod.

Elsewhere, WWE Raw is still keeping wrestling enthusiasts glued to their screens, while Josh Hartnett’s Below is surprisingly still in the global list. Man, people really love watching a sea monster.

And Love Is Blind? Oh, don’t even get us started. The dating experiment has headed to Boston, where another group of hopeful singles are putting their romantic futures in the hands of people they’ve barely met.

Meanwhile, Will Trent has made its way onto the Netflix chart, and The Diplomat is keeping the political fire going, and East of Eden is holding its own, too, despite the fresh competition.
