Netflix: 15 most watched series in the history of the platform

The list of most watched productions in the history of Netflix keeps updating itself, and now “Dahmer: An American Cannibal” has entered the ranking. Therefore, we bring you the list of the 15 most watched series of all time on the platform.

“Dahmer” isn't the only series to make it onto this list recently. In 2022, we saw several productions invade the Netflix ranking, breaking audience records. The new seasons of “Ozark,” “Stranger Things” and “Bridgerton” are now among the most watched in Netflix history, as is Ryan Murphy's series about serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.

“Stranger Things” was helped along by the two-part release, which meant the production had more than the usual 28 days to rack up watch hours. This helped the sci-fi series reach the top ranking of English-language series in viewership on the platform.

However, the effort wasn't enough to surpass Netflix's all-time most watched series, the Korean drama “Round 6”.

To assemble the ranking, Netflix counts the number of hours watched by its subscribers around the world, in the first 28 days of airing of each production or season. Some series are repeated in the ranking, as the seasons are counted separately.

It is worth mentioning that “Dahmer: An American Cannibal” is still in its audience accounting window, as it only completes the 28 days of exhibition on October 18th. Therefore, it is quite likely that the series will rise in the rankings, and enter the Top 10.

Below, you can check the ranking of the most watched series on Netflix, as well as the number of hours watched by each one.
