After a bumpy start to the year on Netflix, but as the months have gone by we’ve seen more and more great titles added to the library. Subscribers continue to stream by the millions, which means we’ll be keeping track of the most watched Netflix Originals on Netflix in 2023.
As hundreds of new and returning Netflix Originals arrive throughout the year we’ll be updating the list below with all of the latest data.
Disclaimer: To order the list below we’ve selected Netflix’s new variable for tracking data by views. In order to get a Netflix viewing figure you need to take the total number of hours viewed in the global top ten and then divide that number by the runtime in hours.
Netflix often rounds up its figures so there may be some difference between our figures and what the streaming service releases.
