The top 3 shows to binge-watch on Netflix this weekend include trending new releases across a variety of genres. For the weekend of January 30 to February 1, 2026, these are three of the most viral shows worldwide that everyone is watching right now.
Between a steamy romantic drama, a coming-of-age sports series, and an action-adventure reminiscent of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, these three binge-worthy series will keep viewers interested from the moment they press play.
Bridgerton
After releasing its new 4-part season 4 premiere on Thursday, January 29, Bridgerton is once again a must-watch series on Netflix. Currently trending #1 worldwide, this steamy romance series, which already has seasons 5 and 6 in development, is set to be the most viral Netflix show of the weekend.
A costume drama series set in London’s high society during the early 1800s, Bridgerton has won 5 Emmys, most of which for its costumes and hairstyling. The first four episodes of Bridgerton season 4 are available to stream right now, and the remaining four will come out on February 26.
Finding Her Edge
Finding Her Edge was a breakout hit when it was released last Thursday, January 22, and has maintained its viral status throughout its first full week on Netflix. The coming-of-age teen sports drama follows an aspiring professional figure skater who gets stuck in a love triangle.
Based on a celebrated YA novel, Finding Her Edge is currently the third most-watched Netflix show worldwide right now, which is a promising sign for its season 2 chances. The entire 8-part first season is available to watch now, consisting of snappy, fast-paced episodes with a stellar soundtrack and an impressive cast of rising stars.
Sandokan: The Pirate Prince
Sandokan: The Pirate Prince is another fantastic binge-watching option on Netflix this weekend for viewers looking for a dash of high-seas adventure. The series was quietly added to Netflix on January 19 and has maintained a trending status on Netflix ever since. The first season consists of 8 episodes, each 52 minutes long, setting up an immersive binge to last the entire weekend.
Sandokan: The Pirate Prince, which already has a second season in development, follows the titular Malaysian pirate who attacks British imperial forces to defend his home island of Mompacem. The series takes place in the mid-19th century and also features a romantic element, in which Sandokan falls in love with Marianne, the daughter of an Englishman. This is one of the most entertaining new shows available to binge on Netflix.
