The 10 most popular series on Netflix this week: September 2025
The only thing more dramatic than a Netflix plot twist is watching the weekly Top 10 shuffle itself into something completely new. The chart is proof of what the world is obsessed with and what people are staying up till late for.
This week’s list is full of sequels, limited series, and even a couple of old favourites making their way back into the spotlight. It’s less a ranking and more a snapshot of how unpredictable streaming culture has become.
At the top, of course, is Wednesday season two. The series returned to impossible expectations after its blockbuster debut, but Jenna Ortega made it look effortless. The new season doubled down on the atmosphere. You had stranger mysteries, sharper humour, and more eerie charm, and audiences ate it up. The fact that season one is also back in the Top 10 proves this is not just a show but a phenomenon with staying power.
Sliding in right behind is Black Rabbit, the new Netflix sensation. This limited series has earned its spot not through hype but through whispers. It is one of those shows that spreads slowly and then suddenly becomes inescapable. This bleak New York crime-family drama with Jude Law and Jason Bateman isn’t just loud, but it gets under your skin.
K-dramas continue their unstoppable global run, and this week, Netflix has three of them in the chart. Beauty in Black dominates, with season two ranking at number three and season one ranking at number eight. This shows that audiences aren’t just catching up; they’re bingeing from the beginning.
Add to that Beauty and the Bester. With its glossy production and heightened melodrama, it’s clear that K-dramas remain the crown of Netflix’s international lineup. These shows don’t just get watched, they get devoured.
Teen-centred dramas refuse to loosen their grip on the charts. Adolescence, which just did a clean sweep at the Emmys, winning multiple awards, has made its way back to the Top 10 and is ranking at number five. It doesn’t shy away from awkwardness or mistakes, which might be exactly why viewers keep flocking to it.
Meanwhile, My Life With the Walter Boys continues to pull in its devoted audience, with season two ranking at number six. For those who love small-town romance and tangled family drama, this is the perfect show.
Raw has successfully muscled into the rankings off its September 15 episode, which pulled 2.6 million global views on Netflix and finished number seven among weekly shows.
Finally, Haunted Hotel sneaks onto the list with its first season. A good ghost story is practically guaranteed to find its audience, and this one is perfect for a late-night binge.
This week’s chart doesn’t belong to one genre or one audience. It’s a mix of everything, and what ties it together is Netflix’s ability to feed every craving at once.
