Summary
- Man on Fire series debuted with 12.6M views on Netflix.
- Lord of the Flies adaptation struggles in U.S. market.
- Several other series compete for top viewership spots.
As of the week of May 4 to May 10, 2026, the Netflix series "Man on Fire," featuring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, emerged as a dominant force, garnering an impressive 12.6 million views. This debut significantly outpaced its competition on the English TV rankings.
Following closely behind "Man on Fire" were the docuseries "Should I Marry a Murderer?" and "Worst Ex Ever" Season 2, both drawing approximately 8 million views. Other notable series like "Legends" and "Running Point" Season 2 also appeared in the top five.
In contrast, the recently released U.S. adaptation of "Lord of the Flies" showed less promising results, ranking eighth with 2.5 million views for the week. Despite its prior airing on BBC, the series' performance in the U.S. suggests a slower start, with its global availability potentially impacting overall viewership figures.
