Top 10 for Week of Oct. 12-18, 2026

Get the Ransom Ready: Animals Takes the No. 1 Spot for a Second Week

Plus: Below tops the English TV list again, and TYSON and The Diplomat make strong debuts.

Should they pay the ransom, go to the authorities, or take matters into their own hands? That's the question posed to audiences in Animals, which held the top spot on the English film list with 30.8 million views. The heart-pounding thriller from co-writer and director Ben Affleck centers on Mark (Affleck), a mayoral candidate whose child is abducted. He and his wife, Abigail (Kerry Washington), find themselves drawn into a web of deception, and are forced to confess secrets that could cause their world to collapse. Meanwhile, Tyler Perry's Doing Life, about a single mother and a reformed inmate who spark a surprising bond, remained in the No. 2 spot with 7.3 million views.

Below stayed at the top of the English TV list with 21.2 million views - the highest viewership in a single week for a Canadian original title. In the twisty limited series, Josh Hartnett plays Calvin, a fisherman and father who stops at nothing to prevent a mysterious sea creature from endangering his small Newfoundland hometown. East of Eden - the adaptation of John Steinbeck's classic 1952 novel starring Florence Pugh, Christopher Abbott, and Mike Faist - kept the No. 2 spot for its third week on the list with 6.2 million views, for a total of 25.3 million cumulative views. The limited series has also driven a 156% global increase in first-time listeners for the audiobook on Spotify.

Viewers hit play on the latest documentary drops this week, as Instadocs: AI Gone Wild - the Instadocs installment that reconstructs the breach of the open-source AI platform Hugging Face - hacked into the No. 3 spot on the English TV list with 5.1 million views. Plus, TYSON fought to the No. 4 spot, punching up 5.1 million views. The four-part documentary explores the explosive life of Mike Tyson - one of the most feared and fascinating figures in sports history - from his chaotic upbringing in Brooklyn to his meteoric rise to global superstardom.

The newest episodes of The Diplomat premiered in the No. 5 spot on the list with 4.8 million views. In the fourth season of the political drama - which won its first Primetime Emmy Award for Allison Janney's performance as President Grace Penn - Keri Russell returns as Ambassador Kate Wyler and faces her most intense and morally compromising challenges yet. Critics are saying "the cast is, as ever, fantastic," and longtime fan Stephen King shared his love for the latest season on social media.

Season 11 of Love Is Blind - which debuted at No. 6 on the list with 3.6 million views - introduces a new group of singletons from Boston, all of whom enter the pods in hopes of becoming newlywed New Englanders. Season 2 of the sweet competition series Is It Cake? Halloween rose (get it?) to No. 8 on the list with 2.7 million views, and the sophomore season of the animated comedy series Haunted Hotel scared up the No. 9 spot with 2.7 million views.

Doctor X: Mafia in White held steady with surgical precision in the top spot on the non-English TV list with 7.1 million views. The Korean limited series follows a gifted but ruthless surgeon (Kim Ji-won) who takes on only the most unusual of medical cases. And the Argentinian dramedy Therapy Done Right - about an unconventional therapist's controversial new approach to his work - took the No .1 spot on the non-English film list with 3 million views.
