The second season of Wednesday has beaten out the final season of Stranger Things in the official Netflix streaming numbers.
The media giants have shared their biggest shows and movies for the second half of 2025, and it shows that Wednesday season two topped the chart with a total of 124million views, as measured by the total hours watched divided by runtime – browse the full charts here.
Stranger Things’ much-discussed fifth and final season, which had its finale on New Year’s Day and so had its numbers slightly curtailed, clocked up 94million, which put it in second place. Eric Bana’s Untamed was in third on 93million, ahead of the third and possibly final season of Squid Game in fourth on 79million.
Previous seasons of Wednesday and Stranger Things also made the top ten, as did Monster: The Ed Gein Story, Sean Combs: The Reckoning and the toddler-friendly first season of Ms. Rachel.
Both Wednesday and Stranger Things were soundly beaten, however, in the film stakes by KPop Demon Hunters, which racked up a towering 482million views, making it comfortably the biggest film in Netflix history, ahead of Red Notice, Carry-On and Don’t Look Up.
A long way back in second place was Happy Gilmore 2, which racked up a still very impressive 135million in second place for July to December 2025, with Frankenstein (98million), My Oxford Year (86million) and The Old Guard 2 (82million) making up the top five.
Netflix has also said it had attracted 23million new subscribers in 2025 for a total subscriber count of 325million, with total viewing hours being up 2 per cent on 2024.
Wednesday season one remains the most viewed show on Netflix ever, with 252million, ahead of Adolescence on 143million and Stranger Things season four on 141milion (via What’s On Netflix).
Among Netflix’s biggest returning shows for 2026 are Bridgerton season four, 3 Body Problem season two, Beef season two and Nobody Wants This season three.
Coming this week (January 27) is the streamer’s new docuseries Take That, which will capture “the beginning of the end” of the boy band in the ‘90s.
