As a total thriller junkie, I’m still buzzing about this show that absolutely blew up on Netflix last year, and it’s still going strong in 2026! Seriously, it’s an eight-episode ride that’s about to surpass even ‘Ozark’ in how long it’s stayed in the Top 10 trending series here in the US – and that’s saying something!
Ever since it arrived on Netflix in mid-November, this show has been incredibly popular. Although many expected it to do well, thanks to its clever style and famous actors, nobody predicted it would become one of Netflix’s most-watched series ever, quickly gaining on huge hits like Squid Game, The Queen’s Gambit, and Stranger Things.
The Beast In Me’s Top 10 Netflix U.S. Streak Just Hit 55 Days
The popular thriller series The Beast in Me is having a remarkably long run on Netflix in the U.S., appearing on the streaming charts for 55 days straight. It’s currently at number 7, climbing from number 9 earlier this week, and is positioned between recent releases from Dave Chappelle and Mark Rober (according to FlixPatrol).
Netflix’s hit show Ozark was incredibly popular, staying in the U.S. Top 10 for 57 days straight. Now, the new series The Beast in Me is on track to either match that record on January 9th or break it on January 10th. This is particularly noteworthy because The Beast in Me has only 8 episodes – much shorter than Ozark’s 44 – and typically, shorter series don’t stay popular for very long.

I’m really impressed with how well The Beast in Me is doing! It wasn’t just a big hit when it first came out, but people are still discovering and watching it weeks later. That’s pretty unusual for a Netflix show, especially one with shorter episodes. It makes you wonder what’s so special about this series that’s keeping people hooked when so many other popular shows fade away quickly.
Although The Beast in Me didn’t receive rave reviews, it’s incredibly easy to get lost in. I was immediately hooked when I started watching and couldn’t stop clicking ‘next episode’ – I was completely invested in the story and the characters.
“The Beast in Me” is a great example of what makes a Netflix series successful: a captivating mystery, a fast-moving plot, and consistently building suspense that leads to a rewarding conclusion. The show’s chances at recognition are also looking good, with nominations for a Critics’ Choice Award and three Golden Globes – the Golden Globes ceremony is this Sunday.
Ultimately, The Beast in Me perfectly represents how Netflix launches its high-quality shows. Releasing it in mid-November creates a lot of online discussion throughout the fall and into the holiday season, keeping it top-of-mind as awards season approaches. The Beast in Me is a compelling and addictive thriller that has everything audiences want – and it’s one of Netflix’s smartest moves of 2025.
