As of September 30, 2026, the biographical drama UNABOMBER has secured the position of the No. 1 English film on Netflix. The film’s debut has been marked by significant viewership, drawing 16.4 million views during its first week on the platform.
The drama features Russell Crowe in the role of Professor Henry Murray and Jacob Tremblay portraying a young Ted Kaczynski. The supporting cast includes Shailene Woodley and Annabelle Wallis. According to reported weekly streaming charts, the film’s performance has established it as the dominant title for the late September window.
Global Non-English Performance
On the global stage, the South Indian emotional drama Irumudi has taken the top spot for non-English films. Starring Ravi Teja, the film has reached a total of 6.8 million views since its release on September 18, 2026. Its popularity highlights a continued trend of regional Indian cinema finding a broad audience through international streaming distribution.
Licensed Hits and Library Resurgence
While original productions often lead the rankings, licensed content continues to hold significant space in the Netflix Top 10. Several high-profile library additions from September 1 have seen a resurgence in popularity:
- The Jaws Franchise: Following the addition of all four movies on September 1, the original 1975 Jaws has seen a notable spike in viewership as it marks its 50th anniversary era.
- Licensed Action and Animation: Guy Ritchie’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare and the animated hit Puss in Boots: The Last Wish both remain steady fixtures in the U.S. Top 10 as of late September.
- Acclaimed Dramas: The biographical film Straight Outta Compton and the period drama Phantom Thread were among the most-watched library acquisitions this month.
The current rankings reflect a mix of heavy-hitting true crime, international drama, and the enduring appeal of classic summer blockbusters. As Netflix prepares for its October slate, these titles currently define the viewing habits of the platform’s global subscriber base.
