‘Fool Me Once’ Becomes Netflix’s Ninth Most-Popular English-Language TV Show Ever, Bumping ‘Queen Charlotte’ From Top 10
“Fool Me Once” has joined Netflix’s chart of its Top 10 most popular English-language TV shows in the ninth position.
Netflix compiles this chart by calculating views across each title’s first 91 days of availability on the platform. With 84.9 million total views in just 35 days, “Fool Me Once” slots in between “Bridgerton” Season 2 (No. 8 with 93.8 million views) and “The Witcher” (No. 10 with 83 million views). The previous tenth-most-popular title on the list was the May 2023 limited series “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story,” which reached 81.3 million views in its first 91 days and has now fallen off of the list.

The achievement came during the Jan. 29-Feb. 4 viewing window, during which 5.1 million views made “Fool Me Once” the No. 4 most-watched Netflix series of the week.
“Griselda” was the No. 1 title for the second week in a row, this time reaching 20.6 million views in its first full week of availability. The Sofia Vergara series was followed by docuseries “Alexander: The Making of a God,” which hit 7.1 million views in its first five days, and “American Nightmare,” which reached 5.6 million views in its third week on the Top 10.
Season 2 of “Love on the Spectrum” had its second week on the chart with 2.3 million views, ranking at No. 5. The No. 6 title was Season 1 of “The Tourist,” which racked up 2 million views in its first four days on Netflix, where it landed after the BBC series was dropped by Max.
With 1.6 million views, “The Brothers Sun” took seventh place during its fifth week on the chart. “Yellowstone” Season 1 was No. 8, garnering 1.5 million views after being added to Netflix in several territories worldwide but excluding the U.S. “NASCAR: Full Speed” tied with “Yellowstone” in its first six days of availability, and the bottom position went to Season 6 of “Young Sheldon” with 1.3 million views, continuing the season’s streaming bump since its addition to Netflix (though it was already available on Max).
