Welcome back to your Netflix top 10 report for the week ending September 28th, where we\u2019ve once again got a lot to cover. It was a busy week last week for new arrivals, so let\u2019s check in to see how well the three major series that dropped last week: Wayward, House of Guinness, and Alice in Borderland S3 performed, as well as other titles like Ruth & Boaz and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Note: All the data used below is sourced from Netflix\u2019s top 10 page, which updates weekly with the top 40 most-watched titles globally for that week, ranked by views. The data used below covers the period from September 22nd to September 28th, 2025. We\u2019ll be using the views metric in comparisons below. That metric is calculated by dividing the hours watched by the runtime. This metric enables more accurate comparisons between films and series, but it\u2019s not a direct audience metric. It is the minimum number of viewings if they were all complete from the first second to the last second of the film or season.<\/p>\n
As always, let\u2019s begin by seeing how well this week\u2019s top 10 lists compared against weeks prior, dating back to mid-2023 (don\u2019t forget you can find more analysis and tools using our top 10 search page<\/a>):<\/p>\n English TV: 40,400,000 (Rank 85 of 119 weeks) Also, before we get into it, the only shift in the all-time list is Wednesday season 2 jumping from the eighth most-watched of all time to the seventh, pushing down Bridgerton season 3. As we\u2019ve previously reported, it\u2019s likely going to end up around the #4 slot by the time the show\u2019s qualifying 91-day run for both parts concludes.\u00a0<\/p>\n 1. Wayward<\/p>\n Picture: Netflix<\/p>\n The Canadian-produced series Wayward ultimately took top spot on the Netflix English TV charts with 8.2M views (48,800,000 hours) edging out Black Rabbit by 1.2M views for the top spot. Where does that put it in terms of performance against other limited series over the past year? Around the middle of the pack, above the likes of Painkiller and last week\u2019s Black Rabbit, but far below Zero Day and The Perfect Couple.\u00a0<\/p>\n Netflix Viewership Data – 1 Week Analysis 2. House of Guinness<\/p>\n The worry when you launch three massive series all at the same time is that inevitably, one struggles to breathe, and that certainly looks like the case with House of Guinness, which debuted at #3 in the English language chart behind\u00a0Wayward (see above) and Black Rabbit, now into its second week. That series is definitely looking for a renewal, given its ending, and it\u2019s going to need to pick up the pace if it\u2019s going to get it. Compared against a number of other British shows and a few 2025 releases, you can see it\u2019s already in the danger zone, but it is comfortably ahead of KAOS in week 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n Netflix Viewership Data – 1 Week Analysis 3. Alice in Borderland S3<\/p>\n There was a big question as to whether audiences would stick around for Alice in Borderland, which finally returned after a nearly three-year wait. The answer is categorically yes, with season 3 debuting much higher than prior seasons in its first week. Worth noting that season 1 didn\u2019t gain traction until week 2, however.\u00a0<\/p>\n Netflix Viewership Data – 1 Week Analysis As you may know, if you\u2019ve finished the series, it has definitely set up more to come<\/a>, and fingers crossed, with this solid performance in week 1, things are looking good.\u00a0<\/p>\n We should also note that earlier seasons of\u00a0Alice in Borderland actually received a substantial boost in the first half of this year, as evidenced by the Netflix Engagement Report, which jumped from 3.2M and 2.4M views to 10.6M and 7.8M for seasons 1 and 2, respectively, between H2 2024 and H1 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n Netflix Engagement Report graph for Alice in Borderland from January 2023 to June 2025.<\/p>\n 4. Week 2 for Haunted Hotel, Black Rabbit, and Billionaire\u2019s Bunker<\/p>\n Next, it\u2019s time to revisit some of the main titles we covered last week to check in and see how well they\u2019re doing.\u00a0<\/p>\n Beginning with Haunted Hotel, which got a late Friday renewal (although whether it was an upfront order or an actual renewal remains to be seen), it looks like Netflix\u2019s trust in the series has been rewarded in week 2. It\u2019s now tracking just a little shy of\u00a0Blue Eye Samurai, which is a pretty good run for a brand-new adult animation series without any established IP to help it. Not to mention it\u2019s in the comedy genre, which has been struggling tremendously in recent years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Netflix Viewership Data – 2 Week Analysis Next up, Black Rabbit, the big series with Jude Law and Jason Bateman \u2013 did it gain traction in week 2? Simply put. Not really. It gained around 6% in viewing hours and will likely begin dropping dramatically. If you stack that up against other limited series in their first two weeks, you\u2019ll see it tracks nearly bottom of the bunch.\u00a0<\/p>\n Netflix Viewership Data – 2 Week Analysis Billionaires\u2019 Bunker received a significant boost in week 2, over doubling its view count from 3.7M views in week 1 to 10.3M views in week 2. That makes it a prime candidate for renewal in our opinion, given it\u2019s now topped many of the other renewals from Spain but is notably still quite considerably behind Berlin.\u00a0<\/p>\n Netflix Viewership Data – 2 Week Analysis 5. Tyler Perry is back again with Ruth & Boaz<\/p>\n Tyler Perry\u2019s first faith movie dropped last week with 10.3M views in its opening week, and although he only produced, if we stack up against his other works, we can see it OK, but nothing fantastic, ranking below The Six Triple Eight but notably above\u00a0A Jazzman\u2019s Blues\u00a0and\u00a0Fatal Seduction.\u00a0<\/p>\n Netflix Viewership Data – 1 Week Analysis 6. Two Other Major Movie Releases: French Lover and Mantis<\/p>\n It\u00a0was a particularly busy week, with two other major Friday movie releases from around the globe:\u00a0French Lover, debuting from France (starring Omar Sy), and Mantis, a South Korean action thriller spinoff of\u00a0Kill Boksoon.<\/p>\n Starting with French Lover, a rather slim selection to compare against, given the major of French movie releases are action-focused, but with 8.1M views, that slots it between The Wages of Fear and Squad 36. Decent.<\/p>\n Netflix Viewership Data – 1 Week Analysis Mantis did decent, too, although a little less than\u00a0Kill Boksoon in the same opening three days.\u00a0<\/p>\n Netflix Viewership Data – 1 Week Analysis 7. My Life With The Walter Boys<\/p>\n A few weeks back, we noted how My Life with the Walter Boys season 2 was effectively on par with the first season, but that\u2019s no longer the case as viewership begins to level off more rapidly than that of the first season, as demonstrated by the chart below as of week 5:<\/p>\n Before we leave you, just a quick nod to KPop Demon Hunters, which just strayed below 20 million views in week 14. A truly incredible run with plenty more legs throughout the remainder of 2025 and perhaps even into 2026, and we cataloged its entire run here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Those are our big stories from the Netflix top 10s this week \u2013 what are yours?
