Fans decked the English Films List halls with wall-to-wall holiday rom-coms. First on the nice (and a little naughty) list was The Merry Gentlemen, starring Chad Michael Murray and Britt Robertson, which debuted at #1 with 14.7M views. Hot Frosty, starring Lacey Chabert and Dustin Milligan, melted hearts at #2 with 12.7M views, and Meet Me Next Christmas starring Christina Millian unwrapped #7 with 5.9M views. 

A Man on the Inside, Mike Schur’s new comedy starring Ted Danson, debuted atop the English TV List with 6.9M views. Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, critics are calling it perfect television. Ted might be new to streaming, but luckily he had his former co-star Kristen Bell – the star of her own hit comedy on Netflix – around to remind him that first place = the good place. Also entering the list was Our Oceans, the new docuseries narrated by former President Barack Obama, which might be the most beautiful thing you see all year.

Families gathered around to be enchanted by Spellbound, the new animated film starring Rachel Zegler, John Lithgow, Javier Bardem, Nicole Kidman, Jenifer Lewis, Tituss Burgess, and Nathan Lane, which entered the English Films List at #3 (8.5M views). “Mom” and “Dad” went on a wild, cross-country road trip in the lead-up to the release, even crashing Trigger Warning star Jessica Alba’s place.

The megahits kept coming for another round on the English TV List (we only speak in boxing puns now 🥊). Season 2 of the animated series ARCANE laid siege to #2 (6.4M views), while Season 1 took #5 with 2.2M views. Cobra Kai’s sixth and final season pinned down #3 (5.7M views), Season 4 of Outer Banks struck gold at #4 (2.7M views), Season 2 of The Diplomat negotiated into #7 (2M views), Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson KO’d #9 (1.8M views), and Season 3 of The Lincoln Lawyer laid down the gavel at #10 (1.7M views).

Also delivering a knockout was the MMA drama The Cage (France), which fought its way to the top spot on the Non-English TV List with 5.5M views. Making their list debuts were Season 2 of The Empress (Germany) in third place (4.4M views), the romantic limited series When the Phone Rings (Korea) in fourth place (3.3M views), and the young adult drama Adoration (Italy) in fifth place (3.2M views).

Two films entered the Non-English Films List: the BMX drama GTMAX (France) raced into #1 with 10.8M views and the comedy Maybe Baby 2 (Denmark) delivered at #5 with 1.6M views.
