The Diplomat has held its place in Netflix’s Top 10 for a third consecutive week, with season 4 taking fourth place on the English TV chart with 2.9 million views. The political drama is one of the week’s quiet stayers — still charting while newer titles come and go around it.
According to Filmibeat’s report on Netflix’s latest weekly Top 10, The Diplomat secured number four on the English TV list with 2.9 million views, “marking its third week in the rankings”. What’s On Netflix’s Top 10 data for the same week — October 26 to November 1, 2026 — confirms the figure, recording 20.3 million hours viewed, down 47.27 percent on the previous week, with the season now in its third week in the Top 10.
A chart led by documentaries and comedies
The Diplomat’s fourth place sits behind a chart led by new arrivals. The One About Matthew Perry, the documentary about the late Friends star, debuted at number one on the English TV list with 9.5 million views, while Nobody Wants This held second with 7.2 million and the limited series Below ranked third with 3.8 million, according to Filmibeat. Love Is Blind season 11 landed fifth with 2.8 million views — just 100,000 behind The Diplomat.
That company tells the story of the week: a documentary debut, a hit comedy, a limited series and a reality show all ahead of or just behind a political drama in its third week. Holding fourth place in that field, with nearly three million views, is a solid result for a returning drama that is no longer new.
Staying power over opening weekends
The Diplomat’s chart run is a reminder that Netflix’s Top 10 rewards staying power as well as launches. A 47 percent week-on-week fall in hours viewed sounds steep, but it is the normal shape of a third week on the chart — and the show is still ahead of Love Is Blind, one of the platform’s biggest reality brands.
Season 4 arrived as one of Netflix’s most anticipated autumn returns, and three weeks in the Top 10 confirms the audience showed up and stayed. For a political drama competing against documentaries, comedies and reality television, fourth place in week three is a result worth holding on to.
