JustWatch Streaming Charts: September 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 chart it’s fair to say that it’s an interesting mix of the expected and the unexpected. Superman claiming the top spot was pretty much a given, for instance, as was the presence of Thunderbolts* and The Naked Gun in this chart, but few people would think that a movie like Friendship would attract that kind of interest. Spring and summer films like Sinners or 28 Years Later or Ballerina continue to attract attention too, but it’s actually movies like Saving Private Ryan or Warfare that serve as genuine, total surprises. Is there a reason why there’s such interest in war movies all of a sudden?

When it comes to TV shows variety is 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 Peacemaker, for instance, along with a couple of notable new entries such as Alien: Earth or Task, but The Paper or Black Rabbit or The Girlfriend 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 Only Murders in the Building or Foundation has not yet waned since last month. Here’s hope that consumers reserve some time for TV shows other than horror-themed ones, come October!
