Welcome back to our weekly deep dive into the global Netflix Top 10s, covering the week of July 20th to July 26th, 2026! This week’s charts are packed with major milestones, massive international debuts, and a few surprising stumbles. While Kevin Hart proves he is still a certified draw for the streamer with the stellar debut of his new comedy 72 Hours, the much-anticipated return of Ransom Canyon is showing some concerning viewership drops that could put its Season 3 renewal in jeopardy. Elsewhere, Harlan Coben’s I Will Find You has officially cemented its legacy by breaking into the all-time top 10 list, and international hits like France’s Elite Force and Brazil’s Elize: Shadows of a Woman are putting up massive numbers. Let’s break down what everyone was watching this past week.

Our top story this week was regarding the first-week numbers for Ransom Canyon season 2, which has suffered a pretty big drop if you take into account its shorter runtime. Whether this impacts the show’s season 3 chances remains to be seen, but it’s definitely not in comfortable renewal territory by our metrics. We’ve got a big deep dive into that here.

Let’s take a look at how this week’s top 10s in their respective categories compare: 

  • English TV: 34,400,000 views (Rank 147 of 162 weeks)
  • English Film: 71,600,000 (Rank 91 of 162 weeks)
  • Non-English TV: 45,800,000 (Rank 9 of 162 weeks)
  • Non-English Film: 58,100,000 (Rank 9 of 162 weeks)

Also, quick note: we’ve done some more upgrades to our top 10 search tool. Mostly visual to help read the numbers better. I’m already zipping round it a lot faster so hopefully you will too. 


1. 72 Hours Debuts Strong For Comedy

Kevin Hart has got the goods and delivered strong for Netflix with his new comedy 72 Hours. Despite reviews being less than stellar, it scooped up 22.1M views, which is very strong for a straight comedy. The main comps for this year are Little Brother, which did 14M in that opening 3-day window, and Joe’s College Road Trip, which did 12.5M. 

First up, let’s compare the movie against the debuts of the other 2026 new arrivals: 

Now let’s compare against Kevin Hart’s other library of titles, which there are a number of at this point:

And finally, against some other straight comedies from years prior:


2. I Will Find You and Swapped In All-Time Top 10 List

As we predicted just last week, I Will Find You will comfortably be heading into the all-time top 10 list, and this week, it booted out HIS & HERS, which only just got into the all-time list relatively recently, permanently. DAHMER is our north star right now for the movie, which currently sits at #6, and while it has looked to be out of reach, the legs on this Harlan Coben series are something to behold. It has until September 17th, 2026 to keep picking up viewing hours.

The animated movie Swapped also saw its position jump up, but its qualifying period ends on Friday (July 31st), and it needs about 200K more views to take #8 away from Leave the World Behind, which sits at 143.4M views. Infinitely doable, but Back in Action, which sits at 147.2M, is probably out of reach.


3. Elite Force from Netflix France

It’s been tracking strong globally in the daily top 10s ever since its Wednesday debut, and the top 10 numbers back that debut up. It debuted to 10.1M views, smoking Netflix’s other French TV lineup with Wednesday launches. Expect a season 2 order for this one. 


4. The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On 

Last week, we forgot to include the latest season of The Ultimatum, Netflix’s dating reality series, which held strong in seasons 2 and 3 but is definitely showing some decay now. 


5. Week 2 for The Hawk

The Hawk got off to a mixed start in week 1, undoubtedly thanks to some lukewarm reviews, but how did it fare in week 2? It saw a nearly 30% uplift in viewing hours, which placed it ultimately second for the week in the English TV chart, but it’s lagging behind quite a few shows with comparable budgets and is ahead of the likes of Tires, Leanne, and Survival of the Thickest, which ultimately did secure season 2 orders.


6. Little House on the Prairie In Week 3

Last week, we clocked a 55% increase in viewing hours for the period drama series Little House on the Prairie, but that momentum didn’t stay in week 3, with a near 60% drop in viewing hours this week. Of course, it got ordered for a second season incredibly early and is already in production, and with these numbers we probably would’ve given it a pretty good chance of renewal, but it’s not a big hit by any stretch. 


7. A Toxic Love Story is huge

We don’t often see big Netflix feature docs launch on a Thursday, but that was the case with A Toxic Love Story, and it had a storming start with 18M views, putting it well ahead of comparable English-language titles debuting on the same day. 


8. Elize: Shadows of a Woman from Netflix Brazil

Also having a lot to celebrate is Netflix Brazil, which launched a big new movie on Wednesday, with that being Elize: Shadows of a Woman. That put it high up against other movies debuting from the region on the same day, with only Caramelo being ahead of it. 


9. The Truthers from Netflix Spain

Not quite as much to celebrate for Netflix Spain, which saw its new movie The Truthers debut towards the bottom of the pack of its mid-performing movies released on a Friday:
