Netflix in the U.S. had a packed week from September 22-28, 2025. Viewers enjoyed a variety of content, including highly anticipated new dramas, suspenseful limited series, in-depth reality shows, returning shows they loved, and even a live sporting event-style program making waves in the Top 10. The offerings ranged from lavish historical dramas and dramatic stories about powerful families to compelling true-crime documentaries and a notable episode of WWE. There was something for everyone to watch.

Here’s a list of the 10 most popular Netflix shows in the United States this week. For each show, we’ve included helpful information like a brief summary, the main cast, the creator, and other details to help you choose what to watch next.

10. ‘Wednesday’ (2022– )

Jenna Ortega stars as the witty and inquisitive Wednesday Addams in ‘Wednesday’. Season 2 will delve deeper into the mysteries of Nevermore Academy and explore more of the Addams family’s story. The show also features Emma Myers, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and a talented cast, with Alfred Gough and Miles Millar leading the creative side as creators and showrunners. Tim Burton is involved as a director and executive producer. Recent reports emphasize Ortega’s ongoing role as the lead actress and her new position as a producer for the upcoming season, which will also include appearances by Steve Buscemi and Christopher Lloyd.

I just finished watching Season 2, which dropped in two parts throughout 2025, and it really leans into the supernatural mystery that made the first season so great. We see Wednesday tackling even more dangerous threats at Nevermore Academy. Netflix has been great about providing resources too – they’ve got cast lists and character guides that are super helpful if you need a refresher or are just tuning in. It’s perfect for those of us who might have taken a little break and are getting back into the show, or for anyone jumping in mid-season. Honestly, it’s a great way to catch up on who’s who.

9. ‘Beauty in Black’ (2024– )

Tyler Perry’s latest drama centers around two women in Chicago’s competitive beauty world: Kimmie, a dancer played by Taylor Polidore Williams, and Mallory Bellarie, an entrepreneur portrayed by Crystle Stewart. Season 2 (Part 1) launched on September 11, 2025, and continues to follow Kimmie’s growing influence within the Bellarie family’s Beauty in Black empire. Ricco Ross returns as Horace Bellarie.

Perry created, directed, and also serves as an executive producer for this series on Netflix. Most of the production takes place at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta. Before you begin watching Part 2 later this season, you might find it useful to read a quick overview and learn about the filming locations, as well as stay updated on Netflix’s plans for the show and any renewals.

8. ‘House of Guinness’ (2025– )

‘House of Guinness’, created by Steven Knight, tells the story of a fight for control within the famous Guinness brewing family in Dublin after the death of the family’s founder in 1868. Netflix highlights Anthony Boyle, Louis Partridge, and Emily Fairn as leading actors. Knight, known for ‘Peaky Blinders’, is the showrunner, and the first season consists of eight episodes. This series dramatizes a pivotal moment in the brewery’s history.

The series was directed by Tom Shankland and Mounia Akl, and filmed in both Ireland and the U.K. It has already sparked a lot of discussion, especially in Irish media, with publications in the U.S. and U.K. focusing on its ambitious scope and visually impressive historical setting. Production involved a team working across multiple locations, and early reactions have been quite energetic.

7. ‘Haunted Hotel’ (2025– )

This funny new show, with 10 episodes, follows a single mother who unexpectedly comes into ownership of a neglected hotel. She quickly learns she isn’t alone, as the hotel is also inhabited by the friendly ghost of her brother. Netflix highlights Will Forte, Eliza Coupe, and Skyler Gisondo as part of the cast, both voicing characters and appearing on screen. The series was created by Matt Roller.

Season 1 focuses on the basic idea for comedic effect-each episode shows the family dealing with typical problems, demanding visitors, and the brother’s enthusiastic attempts to fix things from the afterlife. The official series page has the trailer and episode details to help you get acquainted before you start watching.

6. ‘Mafia: Most Wanted’ (2025)

The short, three-part documentary series, ‘Mafia: Most Wanted’ follows the growth and worldwide influence of the ’Ndrangheta crime syndicate, starting in Calabria and extending to Toronto. It features interviews with investigators and people with inside knowledge, as well as historical footage. Netflix confirms the series consists of three episodes and details its broad scope.

Articles from leading news organizations provide background information on the group’s activities and explain the timing of the documentary series. Sources in Canada and Europe also point out the series’ emphasis on connections between criminal networks on both sides of the Atlantic. Overall, it’s a quick and engaging watch for anyone interested in the history of organized crime.

5. ‘Billionaires’ Bunker’ (2025)

Created by Álex Pina and Esther Martínez Lobato – the minds behind hits like ‘Money Heist’ and ‘Berlin’ – this eight-part thriller traps feuding, incredibly rich families inside a high-end shelter as a worldwide disaster unfolds. Netflix highlights Miren Ibarguren, Joaquín Furriel, and Natalia Verbeke as members of the cast.

Early reviews show the show’s “apocalypse” idea isn’t what it seems. The series shifts from a simple story of surviving the end of the world into a complex game of strategy, focusing on who holds the power and their advantages. You can find more details about the story and how it was made in Netflix’s announcement and interviews with Pina.

4. ‘Raw’ (1993– )

WWE’s main program, airing weekly on Netflix in the U.S., featured significant plot developments in its September 22, 2025 episode, including key moments with the champions and a match between Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. WWE’s official recap details the matches and what happened afterward from that night’s show.

Reports also followed how many people watched the episode on Netflix, pointing out a slight decrease in viewers compared to the previous week, likely due to a lot of sports events happening at the same time. If you missed anything, the WWE website has fast summaries of the results and key moments. Later episodes, such as the one from September 29, continued to develop the existing stories and characters. It’s a good way to stay up-to-date.

3. ‘Doc’ (2025– )

‘Doc’ centers around Dr. Amy Larsen, the head of internal medicine, who suffers amnesia-losing eight years of her memories-after a serious head injury. She then has to work to put her life and career back together. The U.S. adaptation, developed by Barbie Kligman and based on the Italian series ‘Doc – Nelle tue mani’, features Molly Parker in the lead role. The cast also includes Omar Metwally, Jon Ecker, and Amirah Vann.

The episodes in Season 1-with some direction from Rebecca Thomas-introduce us to Amy’s connections with others, the inner workings of the hospital, and the puzzling circumstances around a patient’s death that happened before her accident. The show first airs on Fox, and then becomes available for streaming; you can currently find Season 1 on Netflix, while Season 2 began airing on television in September 2025.

2. ‘Wayward’ (2025)

‘Wayward’ takes place in the Vermont town of Tall Pines and follows a local police officer and a school for teenagers who are struggling, led by a very persuasive and potentially dangerous headmaster. Mae Martin stars in and created this limited series, with Toni Collette and Sarah Gadon also playing important roles.

All eight episodes are currently available on Netflix. Initial reports following the release mention that, despite being presented as a limited series, the ending leaves some storylines open for potential continuation-a possibility that George R.R. Martin has hinted at, though no official renewal has been announced so far.

1. ‘Black Rabbit’ (2025)

‘Black Rabbit’ tells the story of a successful New York restaurant owner whose life is turned upside down when his irresponsible brother comes back with a lot of debt to dangerous people. The show features Jude Law and Jason Bateman in leading roles, and also stars Cleopatra Coleman. It was developed by Zach Baylin and Kate Susman.

Throughout the series, the show skillfully blends the intense pressure of organized crime with the bonds of family and the cutthroat deals common in the hospitality industry.
