As of October 8, 2026, the top three shows on FlixPatrol’s U.S. Apple TV chart are Ted Lasso, Slow Horses, and Brothers. The full top 10 below is a dated snapshot, not a permanent ranking: FlixPatrol says its Top 10 lists are updated daily.
Apple TV’s 10 most popular shows in the U.S.
FlixPatrol’s chart labels the service “Apple TV.” It is a useful indicator of what is currently charting in the United States, but the available chart information does not establish that it ranks Apple TV+ originals only. The order and days shown here are the chart’s October 8, 2026 display.
| Rank | Show | Days on chart |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ted Lasso | 985 |
| 2 | Slow Horses | 649 |
| 3 | Brothers | 15 |
| 4 | Last Seen | 28 |
| 5 | Stick | 97 |
| 6 | Silo | 586 |
| 7 | Widow’s Bay | 162 |
| 8 | Dark Matter | 391 |
| 9 | Small Prophets | Not displayed |
| 10 | Shrinking | 838 |
“Days on chart” is FlixPatrol’s displayed time in its chart; it is not the show’s age, episode count, or a viewer total. The chart page says its Top 10 lists are updated daily, so positions can change after this snapshot. See FlixPatrol’s U.S. Apple TV chart.
How to read this popularity list
A chart position, time on a chart, and review scores describe different things. The October 8, 2026 FlixPatrol ranking provides an ordering of titles; it does not disclose a comparable audience count for each show.

Apple also has a U.S. “Most Popular Now” collection, but the retrieved page text showed numbered positions and genres without the show names. It therefore cannot be used here to independently verify these titles or their order. View Apple’s U.S. Most Popular Now collection.
Popularity rankings are not review ratings
Rotten Tomatoes lists critic and audience scores for Apple TV+ shows, but those scores measure reception rather than chart placement. On its page retrieved October 8, 2026, the displayed scores were Slow Horses (98% Tomatometer, 88% Popcornmeter), Ted Lasso (89%, 81%), Brothers (56%, 60%), and Dark Matter (83%, 75%). They may change, and should not be treated as an alternative version of the FlixPatrol ranking. See Rotten Tomatoes’ TV browse page.

JustWatch publishes cross-service charts based on activity over the previous 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days and says its charts are updated daily across 140 countries and 4,500 streaming services. That wider scope can offer context about viewing interest, but it is not a replacement for a platform-specific Apple TV chart. JustWatch reported more than 50 million monthly users in 2026; that figure describes its user base, not the audience behind the Apple TV rankings. Explore JustWatch’s Apple TV+ page.
