Some weeks on Netflix are about the winners. This one is just as much about what’s missing. For the week of **October 26 to November 1, 2026**, an emotional documentary took the crown, a French favorite staged a comeback, and the English-language movie chart looked unusually quiet.

## Matthew Perry’s Doc Opens Big

*The One About Matthew Perry* debuted at **No. 1** on the English TV chart with **9.5 million views** and 29 million hours watched. That is a strong opening for a celebrity documentary, helped by the long afterlife of *Friends* on streaming.

It was a smaller debut than the 21.8 million for *Sean Combs: The Reckoning*, but ahead of titles like *The Devil on Trial* and *Jerry Springer: Fights Camera Action*. It also launched on a Tuesday, a slot usually reserved for crime and sports docs.

## The Week’s Biggest Winners

| Category | No. 1 Title | Views |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **English TV** | The One About Matthew Perry | 9.5M |
| **Non-English TV** | Lupin: Part 4 | 10.8M |
| **English Film** | Animals | 4.7M |
| **Non-English Film** | Surviving Hurricane Otis | 12.4M |

## Lupin Returns With a Bang

*Lupin* Part 4 jumped 70.6% in its second week to **10.8 million views**. Parts 1 to 3 also stayed in the Non-English Top 10, a sign that viewers are circling back to earlier seasons.

## Nobody Wants This Slows Down

*Nobody Wants This* Season 3 held second place with 7.2 million views, up slightly on its week one. Even so, it trails earlier seasons’ openings, down 28% from Season 2. Analysts still expect a renewal.

*The Diplomat* Season 4 pulled 2.9 million views in week three and has already been renewed for a fifth season.

## The Movie Problem

Here is the worrying part. No new English-language Netflix Original movie arrived this week, and the last one, *Animals*, dropped on October 9. English movie viewing is now at its lowest level in four years.

*Animals* still led the film chart, but its viewing hours fell more than 56%. Without fresh releases, older titles like *KPop Demon Hunters*, in its 68th week, and the *Ice Age* films are filling the gaps.

## Other Highlights

*East of Eden* reached 31.1 million cumulative views by week five, a solid but fairly typical limited-series curve. Internationally, Korea’s *Dead-End Job* opened with 5 million views, and Spain’s thriller *Collision Course* drew 10.7 million.

## What It Means for Viewers?

Documentaries and international titles are carrying Netflix right now. If you’re searching for something to watch, the biggest talking points are the Perry doc and *Lupin*.
