Netflix has witnessed a significant change in its top 10 list, as “Squid Game” is no longer the #1 show. WWE Monday Night RAW, a new acquisition by Netflix, has taken the spot. The latest episode of RAW aired for three hours and featured prominent figures like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, among others. What sets this apart from other Netflix shows is the inclusion of traditional commercial breaks, which will be present in every single week’s broadcast. As part of their reported $5 billion deal, Netflix has agreed to air WWE Monday Night RAW for a decade.
It remains to be seen whether RAW will continue to hold its #1 spot or if it was just a one-time introduction effect. However, the arrival of this new show is expected to have a significant impact on Netflix’s viewership and potentially disrupt the status quo.
“Squid Game” still managed to maintain an impressive performance by holding onto its top 10 position. The show will return for season 3 in 2025, with the possibility of releasing as early as June. This move is part of a larger strategy by Netflix to focus on other major releases later in the year.
The rest of the list remains relatively unchanged from previous rankings. Missing You, a crime drama that has gained popularity, now holds the second spot. Virgin River and No Good Deed continue to rank among the back half of the list, along with La Palma, another popular drama.
Meanwhile, Black Doves, which was a significant hit in late December, is currently at the bottom of the rankings. The Equalizer, featuring Queen Latifah, has also joined the top 10 list.
The introduction of WWE Monday Night RAW marks a new era for Netflix in terms of live content and its commitment to airing original programming.
