Pictures: Netflix
Welcome to your slightly belated rundown of all the biggest stories from the Netflix top 10s for the week of August 17th through August 23rd, 2026. Below, we’ll take a look at the viewership stories that have caught our eyes, whether it’s updates on titles like My Brilliant Career, Don’t Say Good Luck, or My Life with the Walter Boys, or some of the other debuts from last week, including Facing El Chapo and Blood Sacrifice.
If you’re looking for our coverage on Outer Banks season 5, we already did that last night. As a reminder, Outer Banks season 5 debuted at the #1 spot on Netflix’s English TV list with 9.4 million views (80.6 million viewing hours) in its opening week, but experienced a significant viewership decline compared to previous outings. This opening marks a roughly 46% drop from its series peak in season 3 (17.4 million views) and also falls short of seasons 2 and 4, albeit there are caveats there.
Facing El Chapo
Everyone has heard of El Chapo, and that’s what Netflix was counting on when it put this new Mexican film as its big Friday movie release, which traditionally goes to a big English-language film. It worked a treat and served as one of the best-performing movies from the region in quite some time and the biggest international Friday film for 2026:

Freefall: A Reckoning for Boeing
Netflix is double-dipping on the story of Boeing aircraft serving as a follow-up to the 2022 doc. Now we can’t compare this new doc to that one given that it released on a Friday (pulling in 4.94M views) whereas this one, which dropped last Wednesday, pulled in 4.7M views. That said, it’s clear the audience is a bit lower this time around. We can stack it up against some other Wednesday doc films, however:

Blood Sacrifice
Over the weekend, Blood Sacrifice managed to unseat Outer Banks as the #1 show globally based on daily top 10 rankings, but as we learned yesterday, that was more of a weakness on the part of Outer Banks; it’s still commendable for Blood Sacrifice, which comes from the creator of Lupin. Debuting with 7M views, here’s how it stacks up:

My Brilliant Career Viewing Hours Jump 52%
A good second week for My Brilliant Career, the Australian period drama that picked up strong reviews and has been getting positive word of mouth. While it’s ranking well against some Aussie series counterparts in recent years, it’s still a far stretch from comparing against some of the biggest Netflix period dramas in recent years.

Roommates and Don’t Say Good Luck are neck and neck
Last week, we covered how Don’t Say Good Luck had one of the weakest debuts for Netflix’s 2026 movie slate, but this week, it’s clawed back some momentum and now is exactly the same as Roommates, which is interesting given that both projects were Sandler movie vehicles for Adam’s daughters Sunny and Sadie.

A Check-In With My Life With The Walter Boys
It’s week 3 of My Life with the Walter Boys season 3, and it’s an interesting trajectory compared with seasons 2 and 1, but the show is definitely showing signs of decay, with viewership naturally front-loaded now that it’s three seasons in. As of week 3, the latest season is sitting at 173.4 million viewing hours and 22.0 million completed views.
