1. Introduction
Welcome to this week’s deep dive into Netflix’s Top 10 report, highlighting the standout titles capturing viewers’ attention. Leading the pack this week are the limited series Untamed, the animated sensation K-pop Demon Hunters, the enduring thriller Squid Game, and the gripping drama Brick. Leveraging the Netflix Engagement Report, we examine the key metric of Complete Viewings Equivalent (CVE) to provide an accurate measure of how audiences are engaging with these titles.
This analysis places this week’s performance in context, comparing it with weekly rankings and viewership levels from June 2023 onwards across TV (English and Non-English) and Movies (English and Non-English) categories, revealing trends and shifts in global streaming preferences.
2. UNTAMED’s Breakout Success as a Limited Series Hit
The 2025 limited series Untamed has achieved a record-breaking launch, setting new benchmarks for Netflix limited series this year. In just its first four days, it secured the #1 spot on the charts with an impressive 24.6 million views, outpacing other popular limited series releases in 2025 such as Adolescence, Missing You, and Zero Day.
Cast interviews have hinted at the possibility of future seasons or spin-offs, fueling speculation about Netflix’s potential plans to expand the series universe. Given its strong debut and viewer reception, fans and critics alike eagerly await official announcements.
3. KPOP DEMON HUNTERS’ Continued Growth and Record-Breaking Trajectory
Following last week’s forecast that K-pop Demon Hunters might become Netflix’s biggest animated release ever, the series has continued to grow steadily. Detailed viewership statistics reveal consistent weekly growth, with both weekly hours watched and CVE numbers maintaining strong momentum from June 15th to July 20th, 2025.
The animation consistently ranks in the top 10 globally, punctuated by significant viewership spikes. With current trends, it is poised to break into Netflix’s all-time top 10 most-watched list, closing in on milestones previously set by hits like Damsel. This projected ascent highlights Kpop Demon Hunters as a major contender in the streaming animation space.
4. France’s Under A Dark Sun Gains Solid Viewership (But Not a Mega Hit)
The French series Under A Dark Sun has shown solid performance, consistently holding a stable #2 position in the Netflix top 10 across multiple weeks. Its viewership maintains around 5.8 million views week-over-week.
While the series has not reached mega-hit status, it holds firm against heavy hitters like Squid Game Season 2, which dominates viewership during the same period.
5. Happy Gilmore Sequel Boosts Original Movie’s Popularity
The buzz surrounding the premiere and promotional tour of Happy Gilmore 2 on July 26, 2025, has directly influenced Netflix viewing habits. The original Happy Gilmore movie surged into the top 10 across 49 countries, amassing about 4 million views globally.
Netflix’s strategic licensing around the sequel’s launch underscores the series’ renewed appeal. However, fans should note that the original movie is slated for removal from Netflix US and other regions in August 2025 due to rights ownership by Universal Pictures.
6. Dan Da Dan Season 2 Builds on Season 1’s Success
Dan Da Dan made a significant impact with Season 1’s 12-week stay in the Netflix top 10. Early data from Season 2’s first two weeks suggests it is slightly outperforming the debut season in viewership.
This upward trajectory indicates the audience’s sustained interest and the series’ consolidation as a fan favorite.
7. The Sandman Season 2: Current Status and Upcoming Episode Drop
The Sandman Season 2 has maintained a presence in the Netflix top 10 for its initial three weeks. An upcoming batch of episodes dropping this Friday is highly anticipated.
However, comparing Season 2’s performance directly with Season 1 is complex due to a split volume release and combined viewing metrics. Early observations suggest that Season 2’s viewership falls short of the first season’s numbers, despite solid audience reception and the season’s significance as potentially the final chapter.
8. Documentary Highlights: Amy Bradley Is Missing Attracts Large Audience
The popularity of crime documentaries on Netflix remains robust, with Amy Bradley Is Missing standing out as one of the best docu-series launches on a Wednesday.
The show’s strong debut places it alongside other leading true crime titles, such as American Nightmare, solidifying Netflix’s dominance in the genre.
9. Ongoing Success of Trainwreck Documentary Series
The Trainwreck documentary franchise continues to captivate viewers, with the sixth installment, Poopcruise, achieving 7 million views in its first week. This ranks as the fourth biggest debut among Netflix’s new documentaries.
Fans eagerly await the next release, Trainwreck: P.I. Moms, as well as the remaining installments in the series, ensuring sustained interest in this popular documentary lineup.
10. Conclusion
