The Owen Cooper-starring series Adolescence is gaining more popularity than anticipated following its March 13, 2025 release.

Top 3 Most-Watched Shows on Netflix

In comparison to Wednesday season 1 starring Jenna Ortega, news about a second season is generating excitement. Over the past three months, the Stephen Graham-led series has amassed an impressive viewership of 141.2 million, and that number appears to be growing daily. Meanwhile, leading the pack, the horror series boasts a staggering 252.1 million views, well ahead of Lady Gaga’s upcoming season 2 appearance.

Philip Barantini’s direction has dominated the viewership of Stranger Things Season 4, amassing approximately 140.7 million views within the same time period. The streaming platform ranks shows based on their viewership over the first 90 days post-release, and these are the statistics for English titles exclusively. Meanwhile, Squid Game, a Korean series, heads the non-English category with an astounding 265.2 million views for season 1 and 192.6 million for season 2. The Lee Jung Jae-led show is set to release its third and final installment on June 27, potentially setting a new record for itself.

Speaking as a rabid fan, I’m absolutely thrilled about the current English rankings! The Jeffrey Dahmer Story: DAHMER – Monster sits comfortably at the fourth position, with Bridgerton Season 1, The Queen’s Gambit, and the yet-to-come Bridgerton Season 3 following closely. The Night Agent Season 1, Fool Me Once, and Stranger Things Season 3 round up this impressive top 10 lineup! But wait, there’s more! With Wednesday Season 2 and Stranger Things Season 5 on the horizon, I can hardly contain my excitement as this list is bound to get a major shake-up later this year!
