Little House on the Prairie has climbed fast on Netflix, jumping to the top of the streamer’s English-language TV chart in its second week.
Netflix’s latest weekly viewing figures show the frontier drama drew 9.8 million views, up from 6.4 million in its first week. The series, based on Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books, had started at No. 3 before moving into the top slot.
The surge gave Netflix a fresh TV leader, while another new title had a quieter first swing. The Hawk, the golf comedy led by Will Ferrell, opened with 4.8 million views after premiering July 16.
That put The Hawk at No. 3 on the English-language TV list, behind I Will Find You, the Harlan Coben adaptation that continues to pile up views for the streamer.
A different kind of sports scorecard
The Hawk stars Ferrell alongside Molly Shannon, Fortune Feimster, Jimmy Tatro and Luke Wilson. Its first-week total landed well below another recent sports comedy launch on Netflix.
Running Point, the Kate Hudson series co-created by Mindy Kaling, also began at No. 3 when it arrived in February 2025, according to Netflix viewing data cited in the report. That show opened with 9.3 million views, nearly 5 million more than The Hawk.
Running Point has since been renewed for a third season.
I Will Find You keeps chasing the all-time list
I Will Find You added 8.8 million views in the latest weekly count. Netflix’s figures put the series above 94 million views across its first five weeks.
The miniseries stars Sam Worthington as a father imprisoned for the murder of his son, though the show’s premise describes him as innocent. Britt Lower, Milo Ventimiglia and Erin Richards also star.
With Netflix measuring its all-time popularity chart over a title’s first 91 days, I Will Find You still has time to move higher. The current No. 10 entry on Netflix’s Most Popular English Series list is His and Hers, led by Jon Bernthal and Tessa Thompson, with 98.2 million views.
Other all-time targets listed in Netflix’s rankings include Bridgerton Season 3 at 106 million views and The Queen’s Gambit at 112.8 million.
