This week’s global ranking paints a very clear picture: streaming closes out November dominated by three major forces — horror as a continuous phenomenon, nostalgia as a consumption engine, and franchises as absolute safe harbors.

At the very top of the day, the biggest highlight is IT: Welcome to Derry, which comfortably leads HBO Max and confirms what the market had already been expecting: horror has officially returned to the mainstream on a global scale. The IT brand remains one of the most powerful IPs in the genre, and the curiosity surrounding Pennywise’s past has created a rare kind of “weekly event” effect.

At the same time, we see an almost surgical dominance of family entertainment and escapism — and this shows most clearly on Apple TV+.

Apple TV+: The Empire of “Couch Blockbusters”

Even though it is a recent release, The Family Plan 2 leads the movie chart, closely followed by the original The Family Plan — though it’s unlikely the sequel will hold the podium for long.

This is a rare phenomenon: the original and its sequel occupying the top of the platform’s global ranking at the same time, creating a domino effect of binge consumption. We are clearly looking at Apple’s new success formula: big stars + clean, accessible action + global family appeal.

In the series field, the trio Pluribus, The Last Frontier, and Down Cemetery Road reveals a clear pattern: Apple is betting heavily on mid-budget, high-concept fiction, and the audience is responding. Pluribus flirts with the Breaking Bad fanbase — and with plagiarism accusations. The Last Frontier has drifted into tasteless camp with little coherence. The one that truly deserves all the spotlight is Down Cemetery Road.

Fans of Ted Lasso, who already know the show returns in January 2026, are revisiting it for comfort. And The Morning Show, which just wrapped its 2025 season, keeps the title alive as a true “comfort series” within the catalog.

Netflix: Christmas Is Knocking — But Horror Still Rules

Netflix is living a curious dual movement. While it begins its holiday transition with comedies and family films like Jingle Bell Heist and Champagne Problems, it keeps one foot firmly planted in horror and thrillers.

The strong performance of Frankenstein and the true-crime title The Carman Family Deaths confirms that the global audience does not abandon its dark side — not even at the end of the year.

But it is the clash between Stranger Things and The Beast in Me that truly reveals something interesting: Netflix today lives between the weight of its greatest legacy and the constant need to create new phenomena. Stranger Things returned on the 27th, but no longer leads with the same overwhelming margin — a clear sign of a generational shift in its audience.

Of course, it will eventually overtake The Beast in Me at the top. But the series from the same creative team behind Homeland earning this level of attention in such a rich year for television is no small feat — especially with Netflix’s massive farewell campaign for Stranger Things also influencing the ranking.

HBO Max: Horror on Top, Diversity at the Base

Beyond Welcome to Derry, HBO Max presents a highly eclectic menu:

• The Seduction maintains solid momentum.
• Smiling Friends proves that adult animation has become a regular mass consumption.
• I Love LA confirms that urban comedy remains a vital retention genre.

The French period series does not make my personal “best of the year” list, nor does I Love LA. Still, this production is speaking directly to Gen Z viewers (HBO is being smart here) and has already secured a second season. It clearly belongs among the platform’s successes of 2025.

In film, the leadership of The Conjuring: Last Rites is yet another sign that horror has become the most stable streaming genre of 2025. And the curious second place of Wicked points to the surprising afterlife of the movie musical outside theaters.

Disney+: The Eternal Power of Nostalgia

Disney+’s Top 10 is perhaps the most predictable — and still one of the most powerful. Zootopia, now boosted by the upcoming sequel, naturally became the most-watched title of the week, leading an entire corridor of classics: Toy Story (celebrating 30 years), Home Alone, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

This is the mathematical proof that Disney’s catalog does not age — it simply waits for the next generation. On the series side, All’s Fair leads comfortably, confirming itself as the platform’s major adult hit of the second half of the year, with its return already guaranteed for 2026.

Amazon Prime Video: Teen Romance + Fantasy + Latin Repertoire

Prime delivers perhaps the most multicultural ranking of the week. The top spot with Maxton Hall – The World Between Us reaffirms the global strength of teen romantic drama. Right behind it, The Mighty Nein and Hazbin Hotel reveal a strong appetite for serialized fantasy universes.

The continued presence of Yo soy Betty la fea in the Top 10 is another precious data point: streaming has fully globalized the consumption of classic Latin melodrama.

Meanwhile, the film After the Hunt has overtaken the recent release Playdate, confirming once again that major stars always break into the Top 10.

Paramount+: The World of South Park

Landman returned for its second season and, oddly enough, has not climbed past fourth place — a possible sign that the oil-industry universe may not be the breakout success many expected. South Park is the most popular title on the platform, followed by Tulsa King and Yellowstone. December will reveal whether this hierarchy holds.

Streaming Lives in Three Timeframes at Once

The Top 10 from the last week of November reveals something very clear: classics, franchises, nostalgia, and remakes dominate every platform; horror is the most stable genre of 2025 in both film and television; star-driven family movies continue to work; and — most symbolically — audiences are becoming less loyal to platforms and more loyal to brands, characters, and emotional sensations.

Today, viewers no longer choose “what is on.” They choose what comforts them, what frightens them, or what activates their emotional memory.

And this ranking reflects that perfectly.
