Netflix has another surprise global hit on their hands.
The streaming service’s latest show, a six-episode spy thriller called Unfamiliar, is now the most popular series globally, surpassing both Bridgerton and The Lincoln Lawyer. The series centers on Simon and Meret Schäfer, a married couple who operate a safe house in Berlin and are forced to flee when their secret past comes to light.
The new series Unfamiliar has quickly become a global hit on Netflix, reaching the top spot worldwide according to data from FlixPatrol. As of February 10, 2026, the six-episode show has surpassed popular series like Bridgerton season 4 part 1 and The Lincoln Lawyer season 4. Currently, it’s the fourth most popular show in the United States.
The series achieved the number one spot thanks to its popularity in many countries. Called Unfamiliar, it topped the charts in 24 countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Croatia, the Dominican Republic, the Netherlands, Panama, Poland, Serbia, Ukraine, Uruguay, and Venezuela – all of which played a significant role in its global success.
The show has become a huge success, surpassing many of Netflix’s biggest releases this year – especially remarkable considering it originated in Germany. Available with dubbing and subtitles in multiple languages, it’s clearly resonated with viewers worldwide and quickly gained a large international following.
Beyond its popularity on streaming platforms, Unfamiliar is also receiving good feedback from viewers. Currently, it has a 72% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes (based on under 50 reviews) and a 6.9/10 rating on IMDb from over 1,200 ratings. This positive reaction highlights how appealing the series is to audiences worldwide.
The show quickly rose to become the most popular release on the streaming platform, and it looks like that success will continue. Although all six episodes became available on February 5th, it took a little while for viewers to discover it. However, thanks to its compelling stories and characters, the series is expected to remain a top pick for a good while.
The show is currently performing well and could stay in the Top 10 for a while. However, it’s likely that the upcoming release of Bridgerton season 4 part 2 on Netflix will eventually cause it to drop in the rankings. Right now, though, it’s enjoying success as the number one show and seems to be holding that position for the time being.
