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

September is supposed to be one of the relaxing months, right? Life slows down a bit, and you swap iced lattes for hot ones, except we think Netflix didn’t get the memo. This week, they have gone all in.

The platform is throwing back-to-back new seasons, along with limited runs for its viewers, with limited time. And we have a few surprise returns at us, like they are daring us to keep up. Your watchlist is about to look like it raided the dessert table, and honestly, you can’t be mad at it.

And with all this content, it seems like the viewers of Netflix are keeping up. We just got the rankings from the Netflix Top 10 series chart, and it has some new names.

The loudest arrival this week is Wayward, a limited series that already feels like it’s built for the one-sitting crowd. Netflix has perfected the art of limited series. They have a compact run where every episode ends like a dare. The unique theme of the show has made people finish it in one sitting, and hence, it’s ranked number one.

Right behind it is Black Rabbit, another limited series, hopping straight into the chart. It carries the same edge as Wayward. It is fast, gripping, and impossible to walk away from if you’re planning to be productive this week. Well, good luck.

House of Guinness also makes its presence known with season one. This is the show that combines family drama, legacy battles, and all the high-stakes tension you could want. Think dynasties with a pint in hand. It’s dramatic and impossible to look away from, which basically makes it the perfect binge recipe.

Of course, Wednesday refuses to give up her crown. Season two is still holding strong after weeks on the chart, and Netflix, being Netflix, they’ve slyly kept season one trending too, because they know half of us are rewatching just to catch those gothic glares again.

Adolescence slides in next, boosted by its award-season momentum. After dominating at the Emmys, it’s not just back; it’s thriving. And in true Netflix fashion, it’s reminding viewers that prestige TV can still be addictive TV.

Then there’s Beauty in Black, back with its second season, while its first also gets pulled into the spotlight again. Netflix has practically turned this into a two-for-one deal, daring anyone who hasn’t started yet to catch up before the new episodes spoil it all.

Horror fans get their treat with Haunted Hotel. If you’ve ever checked into a room and thought, “This place has history,” this show takes that feeling and turns the creep factor up to eleven. You’ll want to keep the lights on, but you’ll hit play anyway.

Raw arrived on September 22nd, promising to add some fresh heat to an already packed lineup. It’s one of those titles where the anticipation feels just as important as the drop itself.

Meanwhile, My Life With the Walter Boys hits season two, much to the delight of its fandom. If TikTok hasn’t already made this show your entire algorithm, give it time. It’s the kind of teen drama that thrives on rewatches, edits, and endless discourse.

Closing out the chart is Doc, season one. A grounded medical drama with its own sharp edge, it’s one of those shows that quietly sneaks into the list and refuses to leave. Sometimes the slow-burn entries end up being the most loyal binge companions.

So, what’s the move? Whether you’re diving into Wayward, revisiting Wednesday, or braving Haunted Hotel, this week’s Netflix lineup is basically asking you to clear your schedule. Challenge accepted (in Barney Stinson’s voice).
