There's only one hit series on Netflix that viewers should have their eyes on this weekend – and it's currently the #1 show in the world.

November has been a massive month of new releases on Netflix, dating back to the surprise global hit The Asset, the viral thriller series The Beast in Me, and the gripping true crime historical drama Death by Lightning.

As November quickly comes to an end, several new series can claim to hold Netflix's #1 global spot, whether it was for a week or just one day. These include shows like The Watcher, As You Stood By, and Last Samurai Standing.

While all these trending Netflix November 2025 releases are solid binge options right now, this new series is already pulling in massive viewership for the streaming platform – making it an absolute must-watch Netflix series this weekend for all subscribers.

Stranger Things Is Once Again Netflix's #1 Hit Show In The World

Stranger Things – the most-watched Netflix series of all time from a total viewership standpoint – is once again the streaming platform's #1 series in the world following the release of its 4-part fifth and final season on Wednesday, November 26.

This huge surge in viewership for Stranger Things is no surprise, as it was trending throughout the final two weeks of November in anticipation of its season 5 release. The 4-part second half of season 5 will be released on Christmas Day, and the series finale will drop on New Year's Eve.

The only real question with Stranger Things season 5's global streaming dominance is just how high it can go – as of Friday, November 28, the series is the #1 Netflix show in dozens of countries, including the United States, the UK, Canada, and several parts of Europe (via FlixPatrol).

Stranger Things Is A Perfect Netflix Series To Binge This Weekend

Stranger Things is truly the best Netflix series to binge-watch this weekend, especially since you can start and finish the 4 brand new episodes in just one or two nights. Each episode is 54–83 minutes long, with a total runtime of roughly 4.5 hours.

Stranger Things season 5 is already receiving widespread critical acclaim, earning a Certified Fresh 93% Rotten Tomatoes score, its best rating since season 2 back in 2017. Offering a thrilling mix of horror, fantasy, and coming-of-age elements, this series – which is set in the 1980s – has something for everyone to enjoy.

Viewers will have to be caught up on Stranger Things seasons 1–4 to get the most out of Netflix's latest masterpiece. There's no better time to dive back into the nostalgic yet eerie world of Hawkins than right now – don't miss this viral global sensation on Netflix.
