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

The Netflix charts have finally moved this week, and thank God for that, because everyone was tired of the same titles having been sitting at the top. Long enough to feel permanent, like furniture you stopped noticing, and now that the order has actually changed, the page looks alive again.

The biggest move this week was made by Nobody Wants This season two, which is basically taking over people’s hearts and watchlists. The new season dropped last week, and everyone’s bingeing like it’s therapy homework, lol. Once again, Joanne and Noah are trying to keep their relationship functional, but it’s not that simple, because of course it isn’t. There are new faces and new problems, and it’s both romantic and honest at once. The first season made people curious, and now the second is making them care.

Right behind it is The Diplomat season three, which hasn’t just held on but also levelled up, so if your feed is full of the theories about it, you’re doing something right. Keri Russell is back, walking into every room like she owns the place, and this time the stakes are higher. This season is so impactful that the first season has re-entered the chart, hanging at number eight, which basically means everyone’s catching up or rewatching, pretending it’s.

Boots is right behind them, still holding strong. It’s the kind of show that’s not trying to be a patriotic drama or anything big like that. An honest show with so much heart that you end up caring about people who are just some TV characters.

Monster: The Ed Gein Story is still around at number four, almost four weeks after its release, because true crime on Netflix never dies. People love pretending they’re too sophisticated for it, and then they are six episodes deep, wondering why they started watching it at dinner.

On number five, you have Mob War: Philadelphia vs. the Mafia, keeping that same energy as Monster, just with real people yelling instead of narration. It is exactly what half the viewers needed after a week of pretending to be productive.

Some newer names have started poking in too. Raw‘s October 20th special has clearly found its audience. Then you have Wayward sitting at number seven. The show made great noise when it debuted in September, but it is still maintaining a position in Netflix Top 10, which is commendable given that many shows have been released after it.

And then there’s Baby Shark Hospital Play, crashing into the list like a sugar rush. A kids’ show, yes, but honestly, good for it. The presence of this show makes the whole series so wholesome because it’s not just the adult viewers ruling Netflix charts; kids hold the same power.

So yeah, the shuffle this week actually means something. The romantic energy of Nobody Wants This takes the crown, The Diplomat holds its empire, true crime refuses to leave, and a kids’ show steals the last laugh. Finally, a Top 10 that doesn’t feel asleep.
