Netflix Global Top 10: What’s Really Winning Going into the Second Week of September

According to data aggregator FlixPatrol, which tracks what people are actually watching on major platforms, the global Netflix Top 10 as of September 6 shows a fairly even split between original movies and series. The chart shifts every day, but for viewers in Japan it’s a useful snapshot of what’s catching on worldwide right now.

On the movies side, high‑octane action and thriller titles continue to dominate, alongside several dramas inspired by real events. In the series rankings, non‑English shows – particularly Spanish‑language and Korean productions – are increasingly prominent, underlining just how common “local series turned global hits” have become in the streaming era.

FlixPatrol isn’t an official Netflix metric, but it compiles daily Top 10 lists from each country, making it easier to see trends that don’t show up if you only look at your local rankings. The second week of September also tends to be when big summer theatrical releases start hitting VOD, so expect plenty of volatility in the chart over the coming days. If you’re not sure what to queue up this weekend, the current global Top 10 line‑up is a smart place to start.
