The One About Matthew Perry is the most-watched English series on Netflix, debuting at number one with 9.5 million views in its first week, according to Netflix’s weekly Top 10 for October 26 to November 1. The three-part docuseries, which drew 29 million hours watched, leads a chart that also features a French heist hit, a Mexican disaster drama and a crime thriller in its fourth week at the top.
The Perry docuseries opened at number one on the English TV list, ahead of Nobody Wants This season 3, which held second place with 7.2 million views, according to Filmibeat’s report on the weekly rankings. Below, the limited series, ranked third with 3.8 million views in its fourth week in the Top 10, while The Diplomat season 4 secured fourth with 2.9 million views in its third week.

Lupin leads the international chart
On the non-English TV chart, Lupin Part 4 claimed the number one spot with 10.8 million views in its second week, according to Filmibeat — the biggest single title on any of Netflix’s weekly lists. The French series, which has been a global hit since its debut, climbed to the top of the international chart with 65 million hours watched, according to Whats-on-Netflix.
The non-English film chart was led by Surviving Hurricane Otis, the Mexican drama, with 12.4 million views, according to Filmibeat. The film is based on the real-life stories of Hurricane Otis survivors, and its number one finish makes it the most-watched non-English film of the week by a wide margin.
Animals holds on for a fourth week
On the English film chart, Animals — Ben Affleck’s crime thriller — remained at number one for a fourth consecutive week, recording 4.7 million views, according to Filmibeat. The film’s hold is notable in a week with no new English-language original movie: Whats-on-Netflix notes that English-language movie viewing is at all-time lows compared with the last four years, with no new English original film again this week.
KPop Demon Hunters, meanwhile, sat third on the English film chart with 2.6 million views — its 68th week in the Top 10, according to the same source. The new weekly Top 10, covering November 2 to 8, lands today, Tuesday, November 10. The Perry doc, Lupin and Animals will be the titles to watch.
