Which shows and films have lasted longest on the Netflix Top 10?

Longest runs on the Top 10

Total weeks a season or film has spent in a Top 10, using Netflix’s own running count — which survives a title dropping off the chart and returning months later.

Ranked against 910 titles that have ever appeared in this chart.

Most weeks at number one

Weeks spent in the top slot, counted across the whole run. Not necessarily consecutive: a title that slips and comes back has still been number one that many times.

Ranked against 138 titles that have ever reached number one in this chart.

Biggest opening weeks

Views in a title’s first week on the chart — how big an audience showed up immediately, rather than how long it stayed.

Ranked against 597 titles whose first chart week falls inside the views era.

Biggest single weeks

The largest week any title recorded, whenever it happened. Where this list differs from the one above, the difference is word of mouth: those are the titles that grew after release.

What this data can and cannot tell you

A Top 10 is a censored measurement

A title ranked eleventh and a title nobody watched produce the same thing: no row. So "longest run" measures how long something stayed in the ten — not how many people watched it. A steady performer parked at number eight for a year outranks a much bigger title that burned through three weeks at number one.

The newest week is never last week

Netflix publishes on Tuesdays for the week ending the previous Sunday, so there is always a ragged edge of up to ten days. Any title still on the chart in the newest published week has an unfinished run, and its figure here is a floor. Those rows say so.

View counts start partway through

Netflix reported hours viewed until mid-2023 and views afterwards. The two lists ranked on views therefore describe the period since that change, and comparing an hours figure to a views figure is not something this page will do.

These are global charts only

Netflix publishes a separate Top 10 per country. Number one in Ireland and number one worldwide are the same integer and nothing alike, so no country ranking appears anywhere on this page.

Where this comes from

Netflix publishes its global Top 10 as a tab-separated file covering every week since 4 July 2021. This page reads that file directly — no third-party tracker sits in between, and no figure here was typed by a person. The file is also committed to this site’s source code, and an automated test re-derives every table above from it on every continuous-integration run, so a table that disagreed with Netflix would be caught.
