The most popular series on Netflix this week: May 2025
This week’s Netflix series chart seems like a mood board of every genre imaginable. From awkward comedies to final season thrillers, romantic dramas and even toddler-friendly sing-alongs, the chart has it all. This kind of lineup could only exist in 2025, and honestly, it is kind of brilliant. Can you imagine a psychopathic stalker and an infant and toddler music maker in the same category? As crazy as it sounds, it is also equally hilarious.
Ranking at the top of us, The Four Seasons is a fresh and unique take on old-school comedy that brings together legends like Tina Fey, Steve Carell and Colman Domingo. It is a feel-good story about long-time friends navigating through midlife crises. More than hitting the warm spot, it hits a nerve with its perfect blend of snappy writing and emotional familiarity.
Following it close behind is You, the fifth and final season of which was released recently. The internet’s favourite psychopathic stalker is back to kill more people for one last time, still narrating his every thought like a podcast no one asked for. And yet, we are still watching. Bonus point: not just the latest but the first season of the show has re-entered the Top 10 list.
Comparatively newer entries like FOREVER and Raw are also making the noise. FOREVER has pulled in the audience with its high school meets time travel plotline, which is quite bingeable. Raw, on the other hand, takes a different turn and offers a live weekly dose of wrestling theatrics.
After that, there is Ransom Canyon, which brings a dustier and a Western-adjacent drama to the table. It can be categorised as that kind of series which might slip under the radar but will have a loyal fanbase. The show is about three dynasties, fighting for their land and legacies.
As mentioned previously, there is also a toddler sing-along show that has made it to the list. Ms. Rachel has proved that the under-five audience of Netflix has just as much influence on the algorithm of the platform as others. Netflix makes sure that if its toddler viewers want “Wheels on the Bus” for the 800th time, it delivers.
Unseen has also maintained the viewership and is low-key dominating the list with not one but two seasons. Last but not least, Black Mirror hangs at number ten. As the seventh season of the show got released just a month ago, it seems like people are catching up on previous volumes along with the new one.
So, whether you want a sweet sitcom, psychological spiral or some tech chaos, Netflix’s current series chart looks like a promising watchlist with perfect balance for every kind of viewer.
