Looking for a sitcom to start on Netflix? This curated shortlist covers 15 options in Netflix’s US sitcom category, from ensemble comedies and family stories to teen, animated, and darker humor.

Choose by the kind of comedy you want
Netflix’s US TV Sitcoms category lists a mix of familiar series and newer additions. The titles below are selected from that category as a practical starting point, not a claim that one show is objectively best. Netflix Tudum’s May 26, 2025 sitcom guide likewise presents recommendations across family, workplace, and other comedy styles rather than a formal ranking.

15 sitcoms to consider
1. Seinfeld
Start here if you want a familiar ensemble sitcom from Netflix’s US category. The category listing establishes its availability in that snapshot; it does not establish a universal or permanent listing.
2. Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Pick this for workplace-ensemble energy. Netflix Tudum describes it as a police procedural comedy centered on an outer-borough precinct and an eccentric group of coworkers, a setup that supports episodic comic situations.

- Factory sealed DVD
3. Arrested Development
This is a family-centered choice built around the dysfunction of the wealthy Bluth family. Netflix Tudum calls it a “sitcom master class”—an editorial judgment, not an objective ranking.
4. Grace and Frankie
A family-oriented option in the US category. Choose it if you want a sitcom from the family side of the list rather than a workplace or school setting.
5. Derry Girls
For a teen ensemble with a specific historical setting, Netflix Tudum describes this series as taking place in 1990s Northern Ireland during the final years of the Troubles. It follows teenagers and their families through school and everyday life; the political context is part of the setting, not just background for a generic school comedy.
Rank #2
- Starring the incomparable Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean, this DVD features the funniest and most inspired episodes from the timelessly hysterical hit TV show. First unleashed in 1989, theic British series emerged from Rowan Atkinson's stage performances which featured the silent, physically outrageous comic acting that won him an International Emmy Award, a Cable Ace Award, the Golden Rose of
6. The Upshaws
This is another family-focused candidate in the US category. Consider it when you want a household-centered sitcom rather than an ensemble built around a workplace or institution.

Animated sitcoms and comic dramas can carry heavier material than a straightforward comfort watch. Netflix Tudum describes BoJack Horseman as following a former sitcom star whose comeback plans are complicated by self-sabotage and relationships, and notes that it can tell sad stories comically. It is a strong candidate if you want comedy with emotional weight, but less suited to a viewer seeking only light, uncomplicated laughs. The US category snapshot includes the show.
