Black Rabbit Tops Netflix Rankings as Streaming Platforms Roll Out New Seasons

Black Rabbit is the No. 1 show on Netflix, according to the streamer’s public ranking system, an eight-episode crime thriller starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman as two bumbling brothers. One brother runs a thriving New York restaurant until the other returns to town, reopening old wounds and drawing in dangers that threaten to unravel everything they’ve built. The limited series also features Cleopatra Coleman, Amaka Okafor, Sope Dirisu and Troy Kotsur. Black Rabbit hit a streaming high less than a week after its Sept. 18 premiere, and while some critics have panned it as a bleak antihero drama that drags out its hour-long episodes, Bateman and Law’s performances have drawn praise from viewers and reviewers alike.

Across other streaming platforms, the week’s attention also centers on fresh seasons and new twists. Hulu’s “High Potential” is currently topping the platform after returning for its second season, following Morgan (Kaitlin Olson), a single mom with a genius IQ who applies her mind to solving crimes that feel unsolvable. The show also stars Daniel Sunjata, Javicia Leslie, Deniz Akdeniz, Amirah J, Matthew Lamb and Judy Reyes. New episodes air on ABC on Tuesdays and stream on Hulu the following day.

The courtroom drama “Reasonable Doubt” is another Hulu favorite, now trending after its Season 3 premiere. The series centers on Jax Stewart (Emayatzy Corinealdi), a fearless defense attorney who bends the rules to win, even as her ethics are questioned. The third season follows a former child star with secrets and a wrongful death lawsuit tied to a mistress’ claim following the death of a baby. The cast also includes McKinley Freeman, Joseph Sikora, Tim Jo, Angela Grovey and Morris Chestnut among others.

“Gen V,” the Rated-R spinoff of “The Boys,” remains a top draw on Prime Video as Season 2 kicked off on Sept. 17. The series tracks young supes at Godolkin University as they navigate their powers, competition and a conspiracy at the school amid a rising conflict between humans and superpowered individuals. The first three episodes are streaming, with new installments arriving weekly on Wednesdays. The cast includes Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Sean Patrick Thomas and Hamish Linklater.

On Apple TV+, “The Morning Show” continues to draw viewers as Season 4 takes the network into new territory two years after a major merger reshaped UBA. Jennifer Aniston returns as Alex Levy, Reese Witherspoon’s Bradley is out of the spotlight, and Billy Crudup’s Cory navigates Hollywood’s shifting landscape. The season adds Greta Lee, Karen Pittman, Mark Duplass, Nicole Beharie and Jon Hamm, among others, with new episodes premiering weekly on Wednesdays.

Peacock’s “Love Island Games” is No. 1 on its platform, bringing back former islanders from around the world to compete for a second chance at love and a $250,000 prize. The series airs new episodes daily except Wednesdays, continuing the franchise’s global dating-game presence.

The sweep of new seasons across streaming services underscores the current TV landscape: audiences are returning to both established hits and fresh takes across Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Apple TV+ and Peacock, with platforms leaning into high-concept dramas, buzzy reality formats and character-driven thrillers. While Black Rabbit appears to have captured the Netflix crowd in the moment, the rest of the season brings a slate of titles designed to pull in diverse viewers with different tastes and habits of watching—whether binging, waiting for weekly drops, or sampling episodic installments on traditional TV windows.

As streaming catalogs continue to evolve, industry watchers note that rankings on Netflix’s public system reflect not only viewership but the platform’s own emphasis on engagement and momentum. That means a show’s heady debut can translate into sustained interest if word of mouth and critical reception stay strong, even when early reviews are mixed. The ongoing rollout of new seasons and premieres across Hulu, Prime Video, Apple TV+ and Peacock suggests a broader strategy: keep high-profile titles in rotation while introducing new stories and formats to broaden the audience base.

For readers looking to stay current on what to watch next, these cross-platform trends highlight the value of balancing occasional binge-worthy staples with serialized dramas and reality formats that reward consistent viewing. As the season advances, viewers will be assessing not just the spectacle of new twists but the way shows sustain character development, pacing and tension across weeks of episodes. The streaming ecosystem remains dynamic, with Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Apple TV+ and Peacock each steering attention toward different corners of the entertainment landscape.
