Netflix has racked up 15 No. 1 shows in 2025 (so far) — here are the 3 you shouldn't miss
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. We'll soon be halfway through 2025, and that means Netflix has served up an awful lot of new movies and TV shows to watch. If you've not been able to keep up with Netflix's new releases, but want to try and start catching up on all the new shows you've missed out on, I can help. After all, keeping up with what's worth watching on the best streaming services is literally my job. By scanning through a list of shows that have claimed the top spot in the streamer's most-watched charts throughout 2025 so far, I've put together a brief set of recommendations that I think are most deserving of a spot on your watchlist. If you saw me break down the 10 Netflix No. 1 shows of 2025 to my top three choices earlier this year, you can skip ahead to the recommendations. Otherwise, before I move on, I'll quickly explain how I made my choices. To build the initial list, I headed over to Tudum, where Netflix shares its weekly viewing data (available from the start of 2025 through to June 8, at the time of writing). After noting down the 15 shows that have risen to the top spot in a given week, I then whittled that list down to just three picks. Because Netflix only gives us weekly data, I do have a couple of favorites that didn't fit into my criteria — I'd love to be spotlighting 'The Residence' and 'Dept. Q' — but rules are rules. So, with the methodology explained, I'll move on to my top three Netflix No. 1 shows of 2025 (so far) I recommended 'Adolescence' last time around, but I couldn't bring myself to replace it just yet, thanks in no small part to the massive impact the four-part series has had. This powerful limited series sees 'Boiling Point' star Stephen Graham and creator Philip Barantini reuniting to tell the story of a fictional family whose world is turned upside down when their 13-year-old son, Jamie (Owen Cooper), is arrested for the murder of a fellow female pupil. Since its release, 'Adolescence' has become the No. 2 Most Popular English-language TV show (second only to 'Wednesday') and has sparked conversations about young people, healthy relationships and online radicalization. 'Adolescence' isn't just worthy of a mention owing to that impact, though. It's also an expertly crafted and brilliantly performed series in its own right, and one that you shouldn't miss out on. It's not a 'fun' series, as such, but it has lingered in my memory long after streaming it back in March. Watch "Adolescence" on Netflix now If you're into "The White Lotus" brand of shows — TV series that whisk us away to luxury settings, and revolve around enigmatic or off-kilter affluent ensembles, with mysteries or secrets just waiting to come to the fore — then Molly Smith Metzler's glossy dark comedy "Sirens" should be on your radar. Set over Labor Day weekend, "Sirens" sees us following Devon DeWitt (Meghann Fahy) to the lavish estate of socialite Michaela Kell (Julianne Moore). She's there because she thinks the Kells have brainwashed her younger sister Simone (Milly Alcock), who resides on-site as Michaela's live-in assistant. The problem is, Michaela proves to be a far more formidable opponent than Devon expected.... It might not have been as well-received as Metzler's previous Netflix creation, "Maid," but "Sirens" remains a worthy watch. It's a dark dramedy that's equal parts intriguing, dramatic, emotional, and, crucially, very funny, and can be powered through in a matter of hours. In my eyes, it's one of Netflix's best new originals of the year. Watch "Sirens" on Netflix now "The Four Seasons" is a hilarious eight-part comedy from Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield. The series is based on the 1981 Alan Alda movie of the same name, and sees us accompanying a group of friends played by an impressive cast that includes the likes of Fey, Steve Carell, Will Forte and Colman Domingo. When the gang discovers that one of the three couples is about to call it quits, the entire group is upended by the news. The series plays out across a year and across four vacations, and shows how that decision affects the whole dynamic. It's easy, warm, and witty viewing: what more could you want? Watch "The Four Seasons" on Netflix now Below, you can find the full list of the 15 Netflix series that have been a No. 1 show at some point in 2025 (listed alphabetically). 'Adolescence' 'American Manhunt; O.J. Simpson' 'American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden' 'American Murder: Gabby Petito' 'American Primeval' 'Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing' 'Ginny & Georgia' season 3 'Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer' 'Ransom Canyon' 'Running Point' 'Sirens' 'Squid Game' 'Surviving Black Hawk Down' 'The Four Seasons' 'The Night Agent' season 2 Already streamed all three picks?

28 Years Later star Jodie Comer makes 'beautiful man' claim about Stephen Graham
Jodie Comer is one of the biggest names in the acting world at the moment. She has gained fame for her performances both on stage and screen. For her work, she has received two BAFTA Television Awards, one Laurence Olivier Award, one Primetime Emmy Award, and one Tony Award. The actress has also received plenty of nominations for her roles, including nominations for a Screen Actors Guild Award, two Critics' Choice Awards, and two Golden Globe Awards. The latest project the Liverpool-born star is involved in is Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later. The film is set in the same world as the 2002 apocalyptic horror 28 Days Later, which saw Cillian Murphy's character awake from a coma to discover the accidental release of a highly contagious, aggression-inducing virus has caused the breakdown of society. READ MORE: BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Gorka Marquez shares 'heartbreaking' family update READ MORE: Ringo Starr's son says other Beatles' children have 'loads of money because their dads are dead' Jodie will play a lead role in the zombie movie, which premieres in UK cinemas today. The 31-year-old is part of the cast alongside fellow stars, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes. Appearing on Capital Radio yesterday, Jodie discussed the highly-anticipated movie, but also spoke about her fondness of Stephen Graham and what he has meant to her career. She said: "He's beautiful, he has helped me out so much and he is a dear, dear, friend now. "He gives back to the community, the city and encourages young talent. He is a beautiful, beautiful man, he is like so ridiculously talented but equally such a lovely human being. It's lovely to have those people kind of lead by example." Jodie and fellow Scouse actor Stephen share a close professional relationship, with Stephen playing a key role in launching Comer's career. Jodie impressed the Adolescent star in a 2012 BBC miniseries and recommended her to his agent. The two later co-starred together in 2021 drama 'Help', which was a hard-hitting show about the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2022, after winning the prestigious Best Leading Actress BAFTA for Help, Jodie vowed in her acceptance speech to thank Stephen 'for the rest of her life'. She also expressed gratitude to Stephen when she won the Best Leading Actress BAFTA in 2019 for her role in Killing Eve. Thanking him for his support and saying: "I want to take this moment to thank Stephen Graham. If I didn't owe you a pint before then, I do now. Thank you for the generosity you showed me all those years ago." Recalling their first meeting and the development of their friendship, Jodie said: "I met Stephen for the first time 10 years ago. Stephen very kindly introduced me to his agent who then became my agent. He made that introduction out of pure kindness in order to help me get more opportunities." It is an exciting week for Jodie with the premiere of 28 Years Later. It will be the third film in the classic zombie horror franchise. The film marks the reunion of Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, who directed and wrote the 2002 original, 28 Days Later. The two worked as executive producers on the 2007 sequel, 28 Weeks Later. 28 Years Later will serve as the first in a trilogy of sequel films. It was shot back-to-back with 28 Years Later II: The Bone Temple, the second film in the trilogy, directed by Nia DaCosta. In July the Childwall actress was spotted on the set of the upcoming film. Some scenes were filmed in Northumberland and Jodie was pictured enjoying herself on set. Onlookers reported she couldn't contain her laughter as some cast members, presumably playing Zombies, ran past her naked between takes in the Northumberland hills. Jodie's character, playing a human survivor in this apocalyptic world, looked battle-scarred with dirt on her face, marks on her clothes and straggly hair. She was also seen running with a young boy holding a bow and arrow in the fields, before taking shelter in a run-down petrol station.

Adolescence was a ‘little stone' that caused a tsunami, says star
Actor Stephen Graham says his life has changed after the success of Adolescence, which has become one of Netflix 's biggest shows ever. The show follows Owen Cooper as Jamie Miller, a young boy accused of killing a girl in his school, and the impact of his actions on his family, including his father (played by Graham). Adolescence has enjoyed global success, becoming Netflix's most-watched UK title ever with 66.3 million views within the first fortnight of its release. Graham, who co-wrote the series with Jack Thorne, joked that it is 'dead hard getting round the Tesco these days' in an interview with Deadline. He described the series as 'a beautiful little stone', saying: 'We threw it in the middle of a lake, and it caused a tsunami.'
