What is the most-watched movie on Netflix?
KPop Demon Hunters is the most-watched movie on Netflix, and its most-watched title of any kind. The 2025 animated film passed 300 million views, overtaking Red Notice and even Squid Game.
KPop Demon Hunters, produced by Sony Pictures Animation for Netflix, follows a K-pop girl group called HUNTR/X who secretly protect the world from demons. Released in June 2025, it became a surprise phenomenon thanks to its catchy songs, vibrant animation and word of mouth. Its song Golden reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100.
Before KPop Demon Hunters, the most-watched Netflix film was Red Notice, a 2021 action comedy starring Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot. Other top films include Carry-On, Don't Look Up, The Adam Project and Bird Box.
Beyond streaming
KPop Demon Hunters also had sing-along screenings in cinemas in 2025 that topped the US box office for a weekend, unusual for a streaming film.

Netflix counts views as total hours watched divided by a title's running time, so shorter films can rack up views faster.
