Season 3 of the Netflix comedy 'Nobody Wants This' generated 6.2 million views during its first four days of release. For viewers of the Adam Brody and Kristen Bell series, this figure represents a lower initial audience than the show has previously commanded.
The platform’s data shows a clear downward trend in debut numbers. Season 1 attracted 10.3 million views when it launched in 2024. The following year, Season 2 debuted with 8.6 million views. The new season’s opening is below both of those marks, though it holds the title of the largest opening weekend for a returning comedy on Netflix in 2026.
Viewership patterns for older seasons also shifted. When Season 2 premiered, strong catch-up viewing pushed Season 1 back onto the charts for two additional weeks. This time, viewing of Seasons 1 and 2 rose by 200% compared to the week before the new season dropped. Despite that jump, neither older season re-entered the Top 10 list.
In the weekly rankings for the period of Oct. 19 to 25, 'Nobody Wants This' finished second among English-language TV titles. The number one spot went to Josh Hartnett’s 'Below,' which collected 7.7 million views in its third week on the chart. The overall top title across all categories was the film 'Animals,' directed by Ben Affleck, which reached 10.7 million views in its third week.
The non-English-language chart was led by Part 4 of 'Lupin' with 6.4 million views. That performance also drove interest in Part 1, which climbed to 10th place with 2.1 million views. On the main English-language TV list, 'The Diplomat' Season 4 moved up from fifth to third place, gaining 0.7 million views to reach 5.5 million in its second week.
The Mike Tyson documentary 'Tyson' held the fourth position for a second consecutive week with 3.8 million views. It was followed by 'Love Is Blind' Season 11, which recorded 3.7 million views in its second week. 'East of Eden' remained on the chart for a fourth week at number six with 3.6 million views. The list concluded with the debut of 'The New Stanford Prison Experiment,' which logged 2.6 million views in its first five days.
