Netflix Global Top 10: Anime Feature and Crime Thriller Surge to the Front

Netflix’s official fan site Tudum has published the Global Top 10 rankings for the week of September 28, 2026, and it’s a mix of fresh releases and long‑running favorites. In the English‑language film chart, thriller and book‑to‑screen titles dominate the upper spots, underlining how strongly viewers gravitate toward ongoing franchises and character‑driven stories.

On the non‑English film side, the top position is claimed by a new anime feature based on the “Infinity Castle” arc of the hit Japanese manga Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. The movie drew 6.4 million views worldwide during the week, a striking reminder of how Japanese animation now sits at the center of Netflix’s global film conversation rather than on the fringes.

Scripted series also show some interesting movement. Both seasons of the British crime drama The Gentlemen, a spin‑off set in the world of Guy Ritchie’s film of the same name, landed in the English TV Top 10. Season 2 grabbed the No. 6 spot with 2.9 million views, while Season 1 followed at No. 9 with 1.7 million. With its stylish take on power plays inside a criminal empire, the show is turning into a slow‑burn hit. For Japanese viewers, Netflix’s weekly Top 10 lists are a handy way to see not just what’s new, but what the rest of the world is actually watching right now.
