It was a busy week final week for brand spanking new arrivals, so let’s test in to see how effectively the three main sequence that dropped final week: Wayward, Home of Guinness, and Alice in Borderland S3 carried out, in addition to different titles like Ruth & Boaz and extra.
Observe: All the information used under is sourced from Netflix’s high 10 web page, which updates weekly with the highest 40 most-watched titles globally for that week, ranked by views.

It’s the minimal variety of viewings in the event that they had been all full from the primary second to the final second of the movie or season.
As at all times, let’s start by seeing how effectively this week’s high 10 lists in contrast in opposition to weeks prior, relationship again to mid-2023 (don’t neglect you may find more analysis and tools using our top 10 search page):
- English TV: 40,400,000 (Rank 85 of 119 weeks)
- English Movie: 67,500,000 (Rank 79 of 119 weeks)

Additionally, earlier than we get into it, the one shift within the all-time checklist is Wednesday season 2 leaping from the eighth most-watched of all time to the seventh, pushing down Bridgerton season 3. As we’ve beforehand reported, it’s probably going to finish up across the #4 slot by the point the present’s qualifying 91-day run for each components concludes.
1. Wayward

The Canadian-produced sequence Wayward finally took high 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 highest spot. The place does that put it by way of efficiency in opposition to different restricted sequence over the previous yr? Across the center of the pack, above the likes of Painkiller and final week’s Black Rabbit, however far under Zero Day and The Good Couple.
2. Home of Guinness
The concern while you launch three large sequence all on the identical time is that inevitably, one struggles to breathe, and that definitely appears just like the case with Home of Guinness, which debuted at #3 within the English language chart behind Wayward (see above) and Black Rabbit, now into its second week. That sequence is unquestionably in search of a renewal, given its ending, and it’s going to wish to select up the tempo if it’s going to get it. In contrast in opposition to quite a few different British reveals and some 2025 releases, you may see it’s already within the hazard zone, however it’s comfortably forward of KAOS in week 1.
3. Alice in Borderland S3
There was an enormous query as as to if audiences would stick round for Alice in Borderland, which lastly returned after an almost three-year wait. The reply is categorically sure, with season 3 debuting a lot increased than prior seasons in its first week. Value noting that season 1 didn’t acquire traction till week 2, nevertheless.
As you might know, for those who’ve completed the sequence, it has definitely set up more to come, and fingers crossed, with this strong efficiency in week 1, issues are wanting good.
We also needs to word that earlier seasons of Alice in Borderland really acquired a considerable increase within the first half of this yr, as evidenced by the Netflix Engagement Report, which jumped from 3.2M and a pair of.4M views to 10.6M and seven.8M for seasons 1 and a pair of, respectively, between H2 2024 and H1 2025.

4. Week 2 for Haunted Lodge, Black Rabbit, and Billionaire’s Bunker
Subsequent, it’s time to revisit a few of the most important titles we coated final week to test in and see how effectively they’re doing.
Starting with Haunted Lodge, which acquired a late Friday renewal (though whether or not it was an upfront order or an precise renewal stays to be seen), it appears like Netflix’s belief within the sequence has been rewarded in week 2. It’s now monitoring just a bit shy of Blue Eye Samurai, which is a reasonably good run for a brand-new grownup animation sequence with none established IP to assist it. To not point out it’s within the comedy style, which has been struggling tremendously lately.
Subsequent up, Black Rabbit, the large sequence with Jude Legislation and Jason Bateman – did it acquire traction in week 2? Merely put. Probably not. It gained round 6% in viewing hours and can probably start dropping dramatically. In case you stack that up in opposition to different restricted sequence of their first two weeks, you’ll see it tracks practically backside of the bunch.
Billionaires’ Bunker acquired a big increase in week 2, over doubling its view depend from 3.7M views in week 1 to 10.3M views in week 2. That makes it a chief candidate for renewal in our opinion, given it’s now topped most of the different renewals from Spain however is notably nonetheless fairly significantly behind Berlin.
5. Tyler Perry is again once more with Ruth & Boaz
Tyler Perry’s first religion film dropped final week with 10.3M views in its opening week, and though he solely produced, if we stack up in opposition to his different works, we will see it OK, however nothing incredible, rating under The Six Triple Eight however notably above A Jazzman’s Blues and Deadly Seduction.
6. Two Different Main Film Releases: French Lover and Mantis
It was a very busy week, with two different main Friday film releases from across the globe: French Lover, debuting from France (starring Omar Sy), and Mantis, a South Korean motion thriller spinoff of Kill Boksoon.
Beginning with French Lover, a quite slim choice to match in opposition to, given the main of French film releases are action-focused, however with 8.1M views, that slots it between The Wages of Worry and Squad 36. First rate.
Mantis did respectable, too, though rather less than Kill Boksoon in the identical opening three days.
7. My Life With The Walter Boys
Just a few weeks again, we famous how My Life with the Walter Boys season 2 was successfully on par with the primary season, however that’s not the case as viewership begins to stage off extra quickly than that of the primary season, as demonstrated by the chart under as of week 5:
Earlier than we depart you, only a fast nod to KPop Demon Hunters, which simply strayed under 20 million views in week 14. A very unimaginable run with a lot extra legs all through the rest of 2025 and maybe even into 2026, and we cataloged its entire run here.
