The 10 most popular series on Netflix this week: September 2025
The Top 10 on Netflix has been a bit unpredictable lately, and this week is the biggest proof. Between long-running favourites refusing to leave and splashy new debuts, the chart feels like a mix of comfort food and bold experiments. Some shows are hanging on purely because of their loyal fans, while others are there with their big premieres.
But let’s get to the headline: Netflix is still shaking from the after-effects of the Canelo Álvarez vs. Terence Crawford fight. There is barely anyone who has not heard about it, as this show drew over 41 million viewers. And with that staggering number, it has become Netflix’s number one show. Boxing fans tuned in from all over the world, turning Christmas Day into knockout viewing, and the ripple effect is clear. Netflix clearly knows the power of live sports.
Right behind the fight, the Addams family is proving unstoppable. Wednesday: Season Two swooped into second place, while the first season is holding tight at number six. Wednesday is captivating the viewers of Netflix with her gothic charm, and with volume two out, fans can’t stop bingeing.
Fresh drama also made its mark. Beauty in Black: Season Two climbed high at number three, showing that its audience hasn’t gone anywhere and is ready for more scandal and betrayal. Then there is Love Con Revenge at number five. This show is a must-watch for everyone out there, especially the ladies. Watch Tinder Swindler fame Cecilie Fjellhøy solve love con cases and take tips to protect yourself.
Teen drama fans of Netflix have shown their power by bringing My Life With the Walter Boys: Season Two to number four. They have proved that the YA crowd is as loyal as ever. The mix of small-town charm and complicated relationships with a splash of love triangle seems to be exactly what keeps viewers coming back for more.
On the darker side of things, Hostage: Limited Series grabbed seventh place, keeping the true-crime junkies satisfied. And Raw, Netflix’s ongoing live-event experiment, as usual, continues to pull solid numbers, landing at number eight this week. Meanwhile, Beauty and the Bester slid in at number nine with its limited run, already sparking conversations for its playful twist on opposites attracting.
Rounding out the list is something nobody expected to see: Dr Seuss’s Red Fish, Blue Fish at number ten. Bright, colourful, and built for kids, it is a reminder that Netflix isn’t just about prestige dramas and blockbuster events, but it’s also about keeping the little ones entertained.
And here’s the final twist: for the first time in months, Ms Rachel is nowhere to be found on the Top 10. Parents might notice the gap more than anyone else, but for the rest of us, it’s kind of refreshing to see the chart shaken up with new voices and fresh titles.
