The 10 most popular series on Netflix US this week: September 2025
The Netflix US Top 10 looks like a bag full of obsessions right now. It is the kind of list that says a lot about how unpredictable audiences can be. One minute they are watching crime drama, and the next it’s comfort TV with soggy bottoms.
Starting with the list, at number one is Black Rabbit, a limited series that has viewers hooked with its bleak New York crime story. The pairing of Jude Law and Jason Bateman was always going to be intriguing, but what’s made the show stick is how easily experimental it is with morally messy territory.
Sliding in next is Beauty in Black season two, continuing the surge of K-drama love across Netflix US. This show isn’t just popular overseas but has caught fire here too, with fans bingeing both seasons as fast as Netflix can promote them. Season 2 builds on everything that made the first run so addictive and has enough melodrama to keep group chats buzzing long after each episode drops.
Wednesday season two takes third place, proving that America’s obsession with Nevermore Academy is just as strong as the global one. Jenna Ortega’s performance has become one of Netflix’s defining cultural moments, and the fact that season one is still popping into Top 10 lists worldwide shows this franchise is not slowing down any time soon.
Then comes Raw. The September 15th episode landed at number four in the US chart, showing just how powerful the wrestling fanbase is. For some viewers, it’s nostalgia; for others, it’s a weekly ritual.
Adolescence lands right in the middle at number five. This show, though, was quite popular when released in January earlier this year, but got lost under new releases. But it is trending again after it won multiple awards for its brilliance at the Emmys this year.
Comfort TV makes its presence known at number six with The Great British Baking Show Collection 13. Few series could sit next to crime dramas and wrestling spectacles and still hold their own, but this one does. It’s the antidote to everything else on the list. It is gentle, wholesome, and just competitive enough to keep people hooked.
Beauty and the Bester follows closely at number seven. This is a three-part true crime documentary based on South African murderer and rapist Thabo Bester, who escaped prison, and his partner, Dr Nandipha Magudumana. If you are a fan of the genre, this series is the perfect watch for you.
At eight and nine comes Ms Rachel, seasons two and one. The educational children’s series has its own loyal fanbase, and its appearance here proves that Netflix’s Top 10 isn’t just for late-night binges. Parents are streaming this on repeat, and for toddlers, Ms Rachel is as much a superstar as any Hollywood lead.
Rounding out the list is Mafia: Most Wanted season one. True crime remains one of Netflix’s most reliable genres, and this latest entry throws viewers into the world of organised crime with a stylish edge. It’s gritty, tense, and exactly the kind of thing that hooks fans who want a bingeable dose of danger.
Taken together, this week’s U.S. Top 10 is a pure mess, but the good kind. If nothing else, it proves that Netflix’s American audience isn’t just watching one thing. They’re watching everything.
