JustWatch Streaming Charts: August 2025

Movie and TV show fans have never had it so good when it comes to the content options available for the consumer market: there are currently more than a dozen different streaming services delivering all kinds of movies or series straight to their TV sets, literally at the touch of a button. With that amount of new content being released every month, though, which films or TV shows are more likely to be worth each viewer’s precious time? Which movies or series are most people interested in knowing about?

That’s where JustWatch comes in. It’s a Web service designed to collect and present information on every movie or TV show featured in practically all streaming services operating around the world today, in one place. Visitors can create a free account, pick their country of residence – content is often different or even unavailable in various regions – define the streaming services they are interested in and get recommendations based on their preferences and searches. Consumers can then use the free JustWatch apps available for their Smart TV, streaming device, smartphone or tablet in order to always have new suggestions available on what’s hot and recommended on every streaming platform.

Based on user interest – as dictated by searches and recommendations – JustWatch is able to put together Top Ten charts of movies and TV shows across all streaming services operating in each country, every month. These are the films that consumers in the United States have been more interested in over the past few weeks.

Based on the same information, these are the TV shows that consumers in the United States have shown the most interest in over the same period of time.

Taking a look at the Top Ten Movies charts it’s fair to say that it’s an interesting mix of the expected and the unexpected. Thunderbolts* claiming the top spot was pretty much a given, for instance, but few people would think that a movie like The Thursday Murder Club would attract so much interest, regardless of its star power. Spring films like Sinners and The Amateur continue to attract attention too – as did Wes Anderson’s latest, The Phoenician Scheme – but it’s actually movies like the original Naked Gun or Nobody that serve as noteworthy surprises, even if it’s only because their successors’ digital release is just around the corner.

When it comes to TV shows variety is once more the name of the game, just as it should be. There was bound to be a lot of interest in the new seasons of Wednesday or Foundation or Peacemaker, for instance, along with a couple of notable new entries such as Alien: Earth or Chief of War, but The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox and The Hunting Wives are decidedly different to all of the above – and to one another – making for a colorful TV Show Top Ten. Also great to see that interest in South Park or Untamed has not yet waned since last month, making the September JustWatch charts kind of hard to predict. But that’s not really a bad thing, is it?
