What the official figures say
On the official Netflix web site, you’ll find essentially the most streamed collection of all time. Nonetheless, this overview is damaged down in two methods. You’ve bought the English vs. non-English productions and the completely different seasons.
This makes the end result considerably complicated, but additionally ensures that collection with only some seasons are usually not at an obstacle. In keeping with this calculation, the present Wednesday, for instance, is in first place with its first and solely season so far. Nonetheless, many collection seem a number of instances within the listing resembling Bridgerton.
It’s additionally considerably unlucky that Squid Sport or Home of Cash are excluded from the primary statistics as non-English language productions, although they’ve collected extra views than many others. That’s higher, isn’t it?
Netflix’s most-watched collection
We needed to seek out out which collection had essentially the most views on Netflix throughout all of the launched seasons. This isn’t really easy, as Netflix doesn’t publish official figures.
Nonetheless, if you happen to add up the identified outcomes of all of the seasons, considering each English and worldwide productions, you get the next listing of essentially the most profitable and most watched Netflix collection:
- Squid Sport (two seasons, 417,700,000 views)
- Stranger Issues (235,500,000 views for seasons three and 4 alone, at the least 335,000,000 million views for all 4 seasons)

Netflix
Word: Sadly, we have been unable to seek out any official info from Netflix on a couple of collection and their seasons and subsequently needed to depend on older stories on the success of the seasons and older variations of the Web Archive web page. Nonetheless, this listing is nearly similar to this listing of the most-watched Netflix collection inside the first 28 days of launch and appears to us to be a comparatively good estimate.
The next exhibits fall out of the statistics
Throughout our analysis, we observed that Netflix has not up to date the figures for older seasons for a while. We assume that the precise viewing figures differ barely, however that the recognition of the respective collection has remained roughly the identical.
We additionally assumed that exhibits like Intercourse Training and You could be fairly excessive up within the rankings. Sadly, we’ve discovered few significant figures on this.
The brand new seasons have been watched by round 40 million households inside the first few weeks of their launch. Nonetheless, as each exhibits acquired 4 seasons every, we estimate the entire variety of views to be as much as 160 million, which might put them someplace between The Witcher and Dahmer within the rating.
It was additionally troublesome to seek out stories on the successes of the older seasons, particularly for the worldwide collection. That is notably unlucky within the case of Home of Cash, because the Spanish manufacturing is in fourth place within the total rating with its newer seasons alone. If the beforehand launched seasons have been included, it might even surpass Bridgerton.
The collection Elite additionally loved nice reputation on Netflix for a very long time, with nearly all eight seasons repeatedly touchdown within the prime ten. Sadly, aside from seasons three and 4 with round 50 million whole views every, not one of the later seasons seem within the statistics (we needed to seek the advice of the Web Archive for this). However, the Spanish manufacturing would even have a very good likelihood of constructing it into the highest ten if we had knowledge on all seasons.
Maybe Netflix will sooner or later publish an total rating of essentially the most profitable collection that takes under consideration all productions and all seasons launched. Till then, nonetheless, we are going to keep on with our listing and, if attainable, replace the figures accordingly.
