The 10 most popular series on Netflix US this week: August 2025

Netflix US right now is like walking into a party where everyone’s invited. From the goth kid to the contenders of a reality TV show to the hopeless romantics and, of course, the comedians, and last but not least, the parents just trying to keep their toddlers entertained. The Top 10 this week is all over the place, and honestly, that’s what makes it fun.

Let’s start with the obvious: Wednesday is still untouchable. Season two just dropped and immediately claimed the number one spot, while season one is still hanging around at number five like it never left. That’s exactly the kind of cultural grip most shows can only dream about. The fact that both seasons are in the most popular chart just proves the Addams Family hype is nowhere near slowing down.

Sliding in at number two is Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser, which has the entire internet spiralling. It is a docuseries about the controversial weight-loss competition show, and let’s just say it does not hold back. People are bingeing it, arguing about it, and then telling their friends to watch it so they can argue about it too.

The Hunting Wives comes next at number three, and if you haven’t started it yet, here is something for you. Imagine Big Little Lies but with Texas accents and a lot more murder. It’s all luxury, secrets, and drama in slow motion.

Then there’s Sullivan’s Crossing, which is basically Netflix’s emotional comfort food. Season three is riding high at the fourth position, and season one sneaked in at number nine because people are clearly catching up on the earlier heartbreak before they start the new season.

In the middle of the pack, you’ve got Raw and UNTAMED at numbers six and seven, respectively. Raw is all sharp edges and reality-TV mess, while UNTAMED throws you into survival mode with a splash of philosophy. These are the shows for you if you’re the type who likes drama with snacks one night and existential wilderness vibes the next.

And then, the true MVP of Netflix Top 10: Ms Rachel at number eight. This show has been here for 29 weeks. Twenty-nine. That’s longer than summer break, longer than most talking stages, and longer than some jobs people quit. Parents clearly keep this on loop, and kids treat Ms Rachel like a bestie. At this point, she’s not just a kids’ show; she’s the backbone of Netflix’s US Top 10.

Finally, we close the list with Jim Jefferies: Two Limb Policy at the bottom of the chart, because, of course, after all the tears, murder, and sing-alongs, Netflix gives us stand-up comedy to balance things out. Jefferies is doing what he does best: roasting everything and everyone.
