Most Watched Series & Movies on Netflix of All Time

Over the years, Netflix has put out some gigantic hits, which were added to throughout 2024! Here’s your latest update guide to all of the biggest and most watched movies and series on Netflix of all time! 

To measure its biggest hits, Netflix uses hours watched and completed viewing equivalents (CVE for short). These viewing hours are from Netflix’s global subscriber base, and CVE works by taking the runtime of the show or movie and dividing it by the number of hours watched. It’s not perfect, but it’s substantially better than what other streamers provide.

Before Netflix switched its hourly figures, it used the number of households who watched within the first 28 days. While these numbers are hard to stack against the list below, we have kept a record of all the old Netflix viewership stats here. Those numbers are correct up through October 2021, when Netflix switched.

Below, we’ve compiled a complete list of all titles in the top 10 since mid-2021. This gives us a full list of older 28-day hourly stats and Netflix’s newer 91-day stat, and we’ve split it into each category.

Note: Last updated on January 21st, reflecting the change of Squid Game numbers and rising Carry-On to #3 on the movie English list.
