The 10 most popular series on Netflix US this week: July 2025
What do a cosy small-town drama, a violent dystopian game, and a viral boxing showdown have in common? Somehow, all three are dominating the most popular chart on Netflix US this week. And it makes perfect sense if you look closely.
This week’s US chart is anything but predictable. It swings wildly between genres, moods, and target audiences. One moment, people are watching a slow-burn romance in the woods. Next, they are glued to fight nights and fantasy kingdoms. If that sounds chaotic, it is. But it also means one thing: everyone is finding something worth clicking.
At number one on Netflix US is Sullivan’s Crossing: Season 1. A quiet, character-driven series that follows a neurosurgeon who escapes her busy city life and returns to her rural hometown. It is not flashy or intense. It is soft, sincere, and deeply bingeable. Think emotional family dynamics, unresolved love stories, and the kind of peaceful setting people daydream about when they are burnt out. The show offers comfort without being boring, which explains why it is holding the top spot.
Right behind it is Squid Game: Season 3. The series that turned childhood games into high-stakes horror is still pulling massive attention. Season three brings new players, bigger risks, and more emotional gut-punches. The commentary on class, control, and survival has evolved, too. And for fans who have been invested since the beginning, this chapter feels like a worthy, high-tension continuation.
In third place is a curveball. Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano 3 has stormed the charts following their iconic third face-off. It is not just about punches. This was legacy vs legacy, with real-world emotion packed into every round. Sports fans showed up for it, but so did casual viewers who wanted to witness something that felt historic. And it delivered.
In fourth is Raw: 2025 – July 7, 2025. WWE content continues to stay strong on Netflix US, and this episode clearly hit all the right notes. Whether it was a surprise return, a plot twist, or a viral ringside moment, fans showed up in numbers.
Fifth place goes to The Waterfront: Season 1, a dark and coastal drama that crept into the Top 5 with almost no fanfare. It is packed with tension, secrets, and moral grey areas. It is the kind of show that hooks viewers quietly, pulling them in episode by episode. You start for the setting, stay for the slow unravelling, and end up watching the whole thing in two sittings.
The second half of the Netflix US most popular list keeps things just as varied. At number six is Ms Rachel: Season 1, because toddlers run the world and parents are always looking for screen time that feels wholesome. This educational series is a streaming staple at this point.
In seventh, Sullivan’s Crossing: Season 2 joins its predecessor, proving people are not just sampling the show. They are fully invested. The back-to-back charting of both seasons tells you everything about its binge potential.
Coming in at number eight is The Sandman: Season 2. Fans of fantasy and mythology are once again diving into Neil Gaiman’s surreal world of dreams, nightmares, and eternal beings. The visuals are stunning, the writing is bold, and the fanbase remains loyal.
Ninth is Quarterback: Season 2, the documentary series that takes you deep inside the lives of NFL stars. It is not just about the games. It is about pressure, expectation, and the chaos of life under the helmet. Sports fans are clearly here for it.
Finally, in tenth, we have Nate Jackson: Super Funny. This stand-up special has been quietly gaining steam, with punchy storytelling and a confident, fast-talking delivery that feels fresh. A strong reminder that comedy is still a major player in the streaming game.
