Netflix has released its data about which of its original shows have pulled in the most views so far this year.
And while some of its biggest flagship shows, including Bridgerton and Stranger Things, have made the top 10 list, the top spot has been taken by a new release.
In fact, the mystery thriller His & Hers has seized the number one position after being viewed for 104 million hours worldwide between January and June 2026.
The show was released in the second week of January, featuring leading performances from Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal.
Just behind on 100 million hours watched was the fourth season of Bridgerton, the release of which was split between January and February of this year.
Interestingly, Harlan Coben adaptations I Will Find You and Run Away occupy the number three and five spots, respectively, with the final season of Stranger Things sandwiched between them at number four.
Stranger Things’ final run of episodes were split into three unique drops, beginning in November 2025 and ending on New Year’s Day in the UK.
The full top 10 list is as follows:
- His & Hers (104 million hours)
- Bridgerton season 4 (100 million hours)
- I Will Find You (64 million hours)
- Stranger Things season 5 (56 million hours)
- Run Away (50 million hours)
- Teach You A Lesson (48 million hours)
- One Piece season 2 (47 million hours)
- Man On Fire season 1 (40 million hours)
- Ms Rachel season 1 (37 million hours)
- The Night Agent season 3 (36 million hours)
Earlier this year, when asked if the limited series His & Hers could potentially get a second run, executive producer William Oldroyd enigmatically told TV Insider they’d “have to ask Netflix”.
He insisted: “It was conceived as a limited series. We didn’t think beyond that.
“I think we’ve created some great characters. The twist is terrific, and the audience is really reacting to it [...] Again, I think you have to ask Netflix to see what plans they have.”
Tessa also cast doubt on the possibility during an interview with The Playlist, claiming the show’s finale was a “perfect ending”.
However, in that same interview, she also floated the idea of future series of His & Hers that follow different characters entirely.
As for Netflix’s original films, War Machine is the most-watched in the first half of 2026, followed by the Matt Damon and Ben Affleck action comedy The Rip and the animated adventure Swapped.
Even a year on from its release, KPop Demon Hunters is still pulling in viewers, sitting at number four, followed by Apex, Thrash and People We Meet On Vacation.
Rounding off the top 10 were the true crime doc The Crash, the Peaky Blinders movie The Immortal Man and the romantic comedy Office Romance.
