‘Black Rabbit’ Tops Netflix’s Weekly Most-Watched Shows List This Week: Here Are the Remaining Top 10 Shows

Netflix is packed with new content this week! From gripping dramas and educational shows for families to live sports, a popular baking competition, and a shocking true-crime documentary, there’s a lot to choose from. Here’s a quick guide to what each of the top 10 shows is about, so you can easily find something you’ll enjoy.

Here’s a ranking from 10 to 1, based on how things were released this week. For each show or series, we’ve included key information like who created it, who’s in it, when it came out, how each season is organized, and any important background details – so you can start watching without having to do a lot of research.

10. ‘Mafia: Most Wanted’ (2025)

This three-part documentary series explores the ’Ndrangheta, a powerful criminal organization originating in Calabria, Italy. It shows how the group expanded from a local operation to a worldwide network, with connections reaching as far as Toronto. Using interviews with former members, law enforcement, and reporters, as well as previously unseen recordings, the series details the group’s activities – including kidnappings, drug trafficking, and money laundering – and explains why its close-knit, family-based structure makes it so hard to dismantle.

The entire series dropped in September 2025, making it perfect for true crime fans to binge-watch over a weekend. It also provides useful background on recent efforts to take down the ’Ndrangheta, explaining the important trials and international investigations featured in the show.

9. ‘Ms. Rachel’ Season 1 (2025)

Ms. Rachel creates educational videos for young children, organized into seasons like those on Netflix. These videos focus on key skills like language, letters, numbers, colors, and social-emotional development. Created by educator Rachel Accurso and featuring music by Aron Accurso, the videos are meant to be interactive, encouraging children to sing, practice sounds, and say words aloud.

Starting in 2025, new episodes will be released throughout the year as Netflix adds more shows for preschoolers. Parents can easily find short, themed clips taken from a creator’s existing shows, allowing them to choose content that’s right for their child’s age and help them practice specific skills while watching.

8. ‘Ms. Rachel’ Season 2 (2025)

This new set of episodes follows the same engaging, interactive style as before, grouping content around key themes to help develop early speech and reading skills. The format – featuring sing-alongs, clear speaking, and on-screen cues – is consistent, making it easy for families to add these episodes to their existing schedules.

Netflix is adding more shows and movies for young children, focusing on educational content for preschoolers, and offering subtitles in multiple languages. Like before, these programs are organized into groups to make it easier for parents and caregivers to find things that are just right for their child’s age and what they enjoy.

7. ‘Beauty and the Bester’ (2025)

This documentary series investigates the notorious South African prison escape of Thabo Bester and the accusations against Dr. Nandipha Magudumana. Through interviews and evidence, the show pieces together the events leading up to the escape, explores the connections between those involved, and reveals the security failures that allowed it to happen, ultimately explaining why this case captured the attention of the entire region.

Instead of covering many cases, this series concentrates on a single true crime story, making it easy to understand who was involved and how the legal proceedings unfolded. It also connects the events to the larger public conversation about institutions and responsibility that was happening in the news at the time.

6. ‘The Great British Baking Show’ (2025)

The popular show ‘The Great British Baking Show’ is back on Netflix with its thirteenth season. Each week, home bakers from across the UK will face new themed challenges – a Signature Bake, a difficult Technical Bake, and a stunning Showstopper – as they compete for the title of ‘Star Baker’ and try to avoid elimination. A new group of talented bakers will be putting their skills to the test in the iconic tent, judged by a panel of experts.

People in the U.S. can usually watch new episodes on Netflix soon after they air in the UK, making it simple to keep up with the show without seeing spoilers. You can expect the same high level of baking challenges – from intricate bread making to precise pastry work and elaborate desserts – all while bakers race against the clock to prove their planning, skill, and consistency.

5. ‘Adolescence’ (2025)

This short series follows a 13-year-old boy who’s been accused of murder. Each episode shows the story from a different perspective – through the eyes of his family, his therapist, and the detective leading the case – trying to uncover the truth behind what happened. What makes this series unique is that each episode is filmed to look like one continuous shot, creating a feeling of suspense and drawing you deeper into the investigation and its impact on everyone involved.

I recently watched this new drama, created by Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham, and it really stuck with me. It premiered in March 2025 and immediately stood out for its quality – the writing and acting are both top-notch. What I especially appreciated is that it’s a complete story, not something that drags on for seasons. If you’re looking for a gripping, high-quality crime drama you can binge in a few evenings, this is definitely one to check out.

4. ‘Raw’ (1993)

WWE’s ‘Raw’ is now available to stream live on Netflix in the U.S., with new episodes every Monday night and past episodes available on demand. The show from September 15, 2025, in Springfield, Massachusetts, moved several storylines forward, featuring appearances and developments with major stars like John Cena, Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, AJ Lee, Seth Rollins, and Becky Lynch. The night also included tag-team matches that are building towards future competitions.

The shows will begin streaming at 7 p.m. Eastern Time / 4 p.m. Pacific Time, as Netflix expands into live events and programs similar to sports. Viewership in the U.S. has remained steady even with other shows competing for attention, and Netflix measures a series’ success by how much time people spend watching each episode.

3. ‘Wednesday’ (2022– )

As a huge fan, I was thrilled to finally dive into Season 2 of ‘Wednesday’! All eight episodes are now available, and it’s fantastic to see Jenna Ortega back as Wednesday, along with the rest of the Addams family. This season really builds on everything we loved about Nevermore Academy, introducing new mysteries and some seriously interesting new villains. They released the episodes in two parts, one in August and the other in September of 2025, which made the wait a little easier, honestly!

Reviewers have pointed out that the second season features more of the supporting characters, though the main character’s dry wit and detective work remain central to the story. Season 2 tells a complete story arc with a satisfying conclusion, but also sets the stage for potential future seasons.

2. ‘Beauty in Black’ (2024– )

I’m so excited to be back with Season 2 of Tyler Perry’s drama! This time, we see Kimmie really stepping up and taking charge at Bellarie, which throws the whole family dynamic into turmoil. The first part of the season started streaming on September 11th, 2025, and there’s more to come! If you need a quick reminder of everything that happened before, Netflix has some great cast and episode guides to get you caught up.

Although filmed in Atlanta, the show’s story takes place in Chicago. This season will continue to explore the power struggles within the company, along with long-held secrets and changing relationships. Expect plenty of workplace drama and unexpected twists for the characters as the season unfolds.

1. ‘Black Rabbit’ (2025)

I just finished watching this new limited series, and it’s a real ride. Jude Law and Jason Bateman play brothers running a fancy New York restaurant, Black Rabbit, and things quickly spiral when one of them gets into trouble with some dangerous people. Suddenly, they’re both pulled into the city’s criminal underbelly. Created by Zach Baylin and Kate Susman, it’s a clever mix of the high-stakes restaurant world and the gritty nightlife scene. It dropped on Netflix in mid-September and I think it’s definitely worth checking out.

Netflix provides information about the main characters – including who owns the company, who invested in the show, the people who work on it, and the characters who create conflict – to help new viewers understand the story. Interviews conducted around the show’s release offer insights into the relationships between the lead characters and explain why it was initially planned as a single season, despite growing fan interest in continuing the story.
