‘Lonely Planet’ Takes Over Netflix Film List; ‘Outer Banks’ Season 4 Remains No. 1 In TV
Laura Dern and Liam Hemsworth are stealing audiences’ hearts on Netflix with their new romance flick Lonely Planet.
In its first full week on the streamer, from October 14 to 20, the film captured 13.7M views. That put it at the top of the English films list and made it the most-watched title of the week, up nearly 3M from the viewership in its debut weekend.

Anna Kendrick’s directorial debut came in second place among English films with 9.9M views, putting it on the list for the first time. As usual, true crime stole the show, with The Menendez Brothers documentary, which features new interviews with the brothers, remained on the list, albeit dropping a few spots to fourth place with 6.9M views.
Rounding out the top five in film was Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare in third with 7M views, and Sing in fifth place.
On the TV side of things, the Pogues continued to dominate, with Season 4A of Outer Banks taking home 8.8M views. That’s nearly half the audience it snapped up in its debut weekend, which seems to indicate that the audience was quick to binge the new episodes. However, while they wait for 4B, it seems they’ve revisited old episodes. Season 1 was back on the map with 2.2M views this week, putting it at No. 8 among English-language series.
Season 3 of The Lincoln Lawyer debuted in second place with 7M views, while Nobody Wants This held on at No. 3 with 6.2M views.
Ryan Murphy continues to enthrall audiences with the latest in his true crime anthology, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, which came in fourth place in its fifth week on the streamer, racking up another 5.3M views.
Elsewhere in TV, Love is Blind is still generating a decent audience for its seventh season, which features contestants from the DC area looking for love. Ahead of the finale, Season 7 managed 3.3M views, good enough for third place.
