Netflix’s newest crime thriller, “His & Hers,” is proving to be a significant success, dominating the weekly TV Top 10 for the second consecutive week. Led by acclaimed actors Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal, the series garnered an impressive 29.5 million views in its first complete week, building on the 19.9 million views it achieved shortly after its release. This brings the total view count to a remarkable 49.4 million, highlighting the show’s rapid ascent in popularity.
The series has started strong globally, debuting at No. 1 in over 50 countries and expanding to 70 countries in just two weeks, demonstrating a growing international fanbase. Its viewership far surpasses that of other Netflix offerings; “Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials,” which ranked second, only managed 9.9 million views during the same timeframe. Although “His & Hers” still has some distance to cover to make it to the most popular list—currently topped by “The Night Agent Season 1” at 98.2 million views—the potential for growth remains high. With 79 days left in its viewing period, sustained interest could easily propel it into the upper echelons of Netflix’s rankings.
Tessa Thompson, who is also an executive producer, expressed her gratitude for the audience’s enthusiasm, stating, “The response to ‘His & Hers’ has been beyond gratifying.” Alongside co-showrunner William Oldroyd, she reflected on how the show’s themes of love, family, and accountability have resonated with viewers, creating discussions beyond just view counts. Their partnership has brought to life a narrative filled with suspense and an unreliable narrator, which has captivated audiences across the globe.
In addition to “His & Hers,” Netflix’s long-standing hit “Stranger Things” continues to capture viewer interest, with all five seasons still making appearances in the Top 10. Season 5 is currently ranked fourth with 5.1 million views, adding to its impressive total of 120.1 million views. Despite the complexities surrounding view counts for split seasons, the figures underscore the show’s enduring popularity.
Moreover, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s film “The Rip” has made headlines by scoring Netflix’s largest feature opening since “Happy Gilmore 2,” with 41.6 million views. Meanwhile, the romantic comedy “The People We Meet on Vacation” experienced a significant increase in engagement, thanks to a 515% rise in audiobook listens on Spotify, indicating a strong correlation between screen adaptations and their literary sources.
Comedic content also found a spot in the rankings, with Marcello Hernández’s debut special “American Boy” reaching the No. 10 position on the English TV list with 2.5 million views. The current landscape of Netflix’s offerings reveals both diversity and a strong connection between audience engagement and viewership, showcasing the platform’s ability to deliver compelling content that resonates with its global user base.
