Netflix Thriller Tops 2026 Streaming Charts

The latest Netflix show to capture viewers' attention is 'His and Hers,' a twisty and bingeable series starring Jon Berenthal and Tessa Thompson.

Rotten Tomatoes gives the show a 71% approval rating, with critics praising its absurd and engaging storyline. Lucy Mangan calls it 'ideal new year TV' and a 'must-watch.' The show follows two estranged spouses, a detective and a news reporter, who suspect each other of committing a murder.

The show's success can be measured by its viewership numbers, with 104 million views making it the most-watched English-language show ever released on Netflix. The top five most-watched shows of 2026 are dominated by Netflix originals, with Bridgerton season four taking the second spot and Harlan Coben's 'I Will Find You' in third.

However, Stranger Things season five, which is arguably Netflix's biggest series, surprisingly failed to reach the top spot. According to the latest figures, it reached 55.6 million views, making it the fourth most-watched English-language show ever released on the platform.

Another notable entry in the top 10 list is 'The Night Agent season 3,' which attracted 36.1 million views. The show's success is a testament to the popularity of Netflix originals and their ability to captivate audiences worldwide.
