- The One About Matthew Perry led Netflix’s English-language television rankings for Oct. 26-Nov. 1 with 9.5 million views in its first weekend, more than 30% ahead of second-place Nobody Wants This; it also featured new testimonials from Perry’s loved ones and collaborators.
- Nobody Wants This rose slightly from its opening weekend to 7.2 million views for Season 3, but remained below the audience level at which Season 2 started.
- Below fell to No. 3 with 3.8 million views, halving its audience from the prior week when it ranked first, yet reached a fourth week in the Top 10 after posting a record debut for a Canadian scripted Netflix series.
- Lupin Part 4 ranked first across all Netflix series and atop non-English television with 10.8 million views, pulling Parts 1-3 back into the Top 10 at No. 2 with 5.2 million views, No. 6 with 3.2 million and No. 8 with 3 million; Part 4 still trailed Part 3’s 14.1 million second-week figure last season.
- The Diplomat remained in Netflix’s Top 10 at No. 4 with 2.9 million views despite losing viewers, while Love Is Blind placed No. 5 with 2.8 million despite new episodes premiering.
- Animals led Netflix’s English film list with 4.7 million views, while non-English film Surviving Hurricane Otis topped its category with 12.4 million.
Why it matters: For Netflix, the week’s biggest draws were a new documentary and a returning non-English franchise, while continuing series lost momentum. Below halved to 3.8 million views, Nobody Wants This stayed below Season 2’s opening, and Lupin Part 4’s 10.8 million trailed Part 3’s 14.1 million. The leaderboard favored event-driven and international titles over established returning shows.
