Finding something new to watch on Netflix can feel like scrolling through a maze—but the streaming giant’s regional top 10 lists reveal surprisingly different tastes across countries. For the week of June 22, 2026, the number one show in Ireland was the limited series I Will Find You, a crime thriller that didn’t crack the US top 10.

How to access the Netflix Top 10 list

• Visit Netflix Tudum Top 10 and select your region. For Ireland, the dedicated page at Netflix Tudum Ireland TV shows the current weekly ranking.
• The list includes both Netflix originals and licensed content, updated weekly with a date range (Netflix Tudum Ireland TV).

What factors determine the Top 10

• The ranking is based on weekly viewership tracked by Netflix for each region (Netflix Tudum Top 10 methodology).
• Minutes viewed are the primary metric; both original and licensed shows compete on equal footing.

Regional differences in Top 10

• Regional lists reveal distinct viewing preferences: Irish audiences gravitate toward crime dramas and period pieces, while US audiences lean into reality competitions.

This pattern underscores the value of regional data for viewers.

What are the latest releases on Netflix?

New Netflix original series this month

• July 2026 additions include Dept Q, The Witness, and How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, as detailed by RadioTimes (UK media guide).
• Netflix Tudum’s monthly “New on Netflix” article curates the month’s biggest originals (Netflix Tudum Next on Netflix).

Latest movie releases on Netflix

• What’s on Netflix notes that movies such as Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew and Quasimodo are slated for late 2026 (What’s on Netflix (streaming release tracker)).

What’s the hottest new show on Netflix?

Criteria for ‘hottest’ (viewership & buzz)

• “Hottest” is subjective, but the daily (regionally weekly) Top 10 list is the closest proxy for popularity (Netflix Tudum Top 10).
• Social media chatter and press coverage amplify a show’s recognition; Bridgerton consistently generates buzz across markets.

Current trending new shows

• In Ireland, the hottest new show is the limited series I Will Find You, according to the Netflix Ireland Top 10 (Netflix Tudum Ireland TV).
• America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Season 3 is #2 and draws strong reality-TV audience.

How to identify buzzworthy shows

• Check reviews on Rotten Tomatoes (aggregated critic ratings) and IMDb ratings (e.g., The Night Agent 7.5/10 IMDb).
• Follow Netflix’s “Trending Now” row—it updates more frequently than the Top 10.

This volatility means viewers should act quickly on trending titles.

What are the top 3 series on Netflix?

Top 3 series currently

• For Ireland (week 2026-06-22): 1. I Will Find You, 2. America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Season 3, 3. Upstairs, Downstairs: Series 1 (Netflix Tudum Ireland TV).
• These three represent the most-viewed shows in the region that week.

Differences between top 3 and top 10

• The top 3 are the most-watched subset; beyond rank 4, viewership often drops steeply (Netflix Tudum Top 10 methodology).
• Genres vary: the top 3 can mix drama, reality, and classic series, while deeper ranks include documentaries and foreign-language titles.

How to find top rated series

• Use IMDb ratings and Rotten Tomatoes scores to complement the Top 10 list.
• For new shows, Netflix Tudum 2026 New Shows highlights upcoming originals with expected appeal.

The implication: The top 3 are a reliable “watch now” signal, but they skew toward bingeable, short-run series. Long-running dramas may need a few weeks to climb.
