The most-watched series on Netflix in its latest complete global English-language chart is Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, Season 1, with 14.5 million reported views for the week of September 21–27, 2026. This is a weekly ranking, not a live tally.
Netflix Global Top 10 Shows for September 21–27, 2026
Netflix’s official Global Top 10 Shows chart ranked these English-language titles for the week. Netflix reports views, runtime and hours viewed as separate columns.
| Rank | Title | Views | Runtime | Hours viewed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story: Season 1 | 14.5 million | 6 hr 38 min | 95.9 million |
| 2 | Wonka’s The Golden Ticket: Season 1 | 4.6 million | 6 hr 7 min | 28.3 million |
| 3 | Crew Girl: Season 1 | 4.5 million | 6 hr 12 min | 28.1 million |
| 4 | A Different World: Season 1 | 4.2 million | 5 hr 27 min | 23.0 million |
| 5 | The Gentlemen: Season 2 | 4.2 million | 7 hr 26 min | 31.0 million |
| 6 | Gabby’s Dollhouse: Season 14 | 2.7 million | 1 hr 37 min | 4.4 million |
| 7 | Raw: 2026 — September 21, 2026 | 2.5 million | 1 hr 48 min | 4.8 million |
| 8 | The Gentlemen: Season 1 | 2.4 million | 6 hr 41 min | 16.0 million |
| 9 | The Great British Baking Show: Collection 14 | 1.7 million | 1 hr 9 min | 2.0 million |
| 10 | Danny Go!: Season 2 | 1.7 million | 1 hr 32 min | 2.6 million |
These are values Netflix published for that chart week, not independently verified estimates of the worldwide audience. Netflix labels the weekly figure “views,” but the chart page does not explain its calculation, so it should not be treated as a precise count of individual viewers.
What the Netflix chart measures
Rank is a title’s position in the chart. Views are Netflix’s reported weekly figure; runtime is the listed length of the title; hours viewed is a separate aggregate measure. The fields are not interchangeable. For example, The Gentlemen: Season 2 placed fifth with 4.2 million views and 31.0 million hours viewed, while the longer runtime does not change its chart position.

Which Netflix Top 10 are you looking at?
This list is the global English-language Shows chart. Netflix also offers country-specific charts, non-English-language Shows charts and movie charts, as well as week selection and title lookup for ranking history across countries. A title’s appearance here does not mean it is available to stream in every region. Netflix says Top 10 lists are available in selected countries and territories; regional groupings follow the United States statistics division.
For a meaningful comparison, keep the week, geography and chart category the same. A country chart, a non-English chart or a movie chart answers a different question from the global English-language series ranking.
