It’s a busy week on the Netflix charts with several heavy hitters returning, but the big story is the diminishing returns for one of Netflix’s biggest action franchises, The Night Agent. Meanwhile, the unscripted slate is performing exceptionally well, with Reality Check taking the top spot. Here’s a look at the biggest stories for the week.
Note: In this report of Netflix’s hours viewed from February 16, 2026, to February 22, 2026, we use “Complete Viewings Equivalent,” or CVE, expressed in millions. That means we divide the hours viewed by the titles’ runtime.
If you’re looking for some analysis on The Night Agent, we’ve already done that seperately and the news is not great. The show continues to shed its audience season after season, with season 3 now close to 60% down on season 1’s numbers.
Also, just a small note about the English movies this week. We’ve been noticing lately that many of the licensed movie pickups from 20th Century Fox (Prometheus) and MGM (The Addams Family) have been mostly global additions, leading to much bigger debuts in the top 10s.
Finally, on the notes front, we’re experimenting with a new tool on our Netflix Top 10 search page that lets you go back through all of Netflix’s data, with a 91-day prediction graph now showing in specific instances, such as on The Rip. This chart examines prior decay rates for Netflix titles and maps out bull, base, and bear cases for where it might end up at the 91-day mark.
The Rip – 91-Day Prediction Chart
OK, enough ado! Onwards with the top 10 report, beginning with how this week ranks compared to all prior top 10 weeks, which gives us some idea as to how well each category performed this week:
- English TV – 54,600,000 views (Rank 42 of 140 weeks)
- English Film – 49,200,000 views (Rank 133 of 140 weeks)
- Non-English TV: 32,700,000 (Rank 39 of 140 weeks)
- Non-English Film: 35,100,000 (Rank 64 of 140 weeks)
1. Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model Is A Hit, But It Won’t Topple American Murder
Beating out the spy thriller The Night Agent for the top spot on Netflix’s English TV list is Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model. The docu-series/reality hybrid pulled in a massive 14.2M views in its first week. It was clear it was going to do well fairly early on, with incredible views being picked up across social media, but how does it stack up against other docu-series released on a Monday? Very well, but nowhere near the heights of American Murder: Gabby Petito, which likely won’t have its crown stolen anytime soon.
2. A Final Check-In With Bridgerton Before Part 2 Drops

Next week, Bridgerton’s numbers will become jumbled, as views will switch to covering both parts 1 and 2 of the show, and we can no longer clearly differentiate between them. How well are we doing as of week 4? Well, as we’ve covered throughout the run so far, season 4 is pulling in slightly fewer views than season 3, but nothing to balk at or even worry about, given that the show is already renewed through season 6. Season 4 remains about 12% down which considering The Night Agent is nearly 40% down season over season, it puts it into perspective…
3. Low Debut For Being Gordon Ramsey
Want an all-access look at the TV chef Gordon Ramsey and see how rich he is? Apparently, the answer is yes for quite a few of you, with the show ranking #10 in the charts this week with 2.7M views. That puts it toward the lower end of other documentary series released on Wednesdays, however.
4. The Lincoln Lawyer Still Comfortably Ahead of Season 3
The Lincoln Lawyer has defied the odds and actually risen in viewership season over season, with it now tracking at 23.5M views as of week 3, which is above the 20.5M that season 3 was at at the same point in time. While it’s now ducked just beneath season 1’s performance, it’s a show with a lot of legs and popularity. We’re fully expecting an early season 6 renewal.
5. The Museum of Innocence from Netflix Turkey
The only major new debut non-English TV show to break into the top 10s this week was the Turkish series The Museum of Innocence, which debuts at #4 in the charts. A decent start compared to other Turkish shows released on a Friday, with it clocking just under Old Money and Who Were We Running From? (which I can’t embed because it has a question mark – another bug to fix!) which had 4.1M views. It did get a big international push, rare for a series from Turkey which could explain why it’s elevated somewhat.
6. The Art of Sarah is a hit for Netflix South Korea
Last week, we reported that The Art of Sarah, a new limited series from South Korea, had a pretty OK debut, but this week, it had a jump of 159% in viewing hours, and now we’re pretty good to call it a 2026 hit for Netflix.
7. The Swedish Connection for Netflix Sweden
Never a great sign when Netflix doesn’t bother with an English-language version of the trailer for a film, but despite that, it’s about where you’d expect a film from the Nordics to be performing.
8. Firebreak for Netflix Spain
Netflix Spain has had a rotten start to the year, and while 6.1M views for its new thriller Firebreak isn’t horrendous, it’s certainly not up to the level of viewership of two of its other recent movies.
9. The Orphans for Netflix France
A similar story for The Orphans from France, which debuted with 5.3M views. Not a great debut by any stretch compared to some of the heavy hitters released on a Friday from the region in years past.
10. Did Joe’s College Road Trip see a big jump?
Last week, we covered how Tyler Perry’s latest movie entry was tracking quite a few of his other titles below, but has it closed the gap? Not really with viewing hours actually declining by 16%. It’s still sitting above A Jazzman’s Blues but below, now significantly, most of his other movies, including both Madea titles.
