Full Netflix top 10

Knowing what to watch every week can be a real challenge when you're unsure what's new on a streaming service. The biggest platforms, like Netflix, aim to cut down your scrolling time by offering a top 10 list, presenting the trending shows and movies subscribers are tuning into. With the list refreshing every week, it's a handy guide to help you decide what to stream next.

This week, the top 10 list comprises the second season of a fantasy action-adventure series, a dystopian sci-fi world, and an intense revenge action-thriller. To save you the guesswork, I've chosen three must-watch series from Netflix's latest top 10. The platform's full rankings are also included below (at the time of writing).

Note: This list is based on the Netflix U.S. top 10 shows as of Tuesday, June 30, 2026.

Best shows in the Netflix top 10

‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’

Watch On

“Avatar: The Last Airbender” is a live-action fantasy reimagining, designed to bring one of the most beloved animated series to life as a premium drama. Netflix went all in on the adaptation, and it appears to have paid off. The series has now returned for a second season, with a third already renewed. The result is a visually stunning, action-packed, and respectful adaptation that satisfies longtime fans while offering newcomers a compelling introduction to one of the greatest fictional worlds ever created.

Aang (Gordon Cormier) is a young boy who awakens after being frozen in an iceberg for 100 years and discovers he is the Avatar, the only person able to control all four elements. With siblings Katara (Kiawentiio) and Sokka (Ian Ousley) from the Southern Water Tribe, he travels across the world to master water, earth, fire, and airbending. Season 2 follows Aang and his friends as they uncover a hidden conspiracy within Ba Sing Se.

‘The Last Ship’

Watch On

For thriller fans, you’ll want to binge-watch “The Last Ship” this week. Loosely based on the 1988 novel by William Brinkley, the show was executive produced by Hollywood action legend Michael Bay. This show very much behaves like a tense claustrophobic thriller, as the entire dynamic relies on the fact that the crew is completely isolated at sea, with the world falling apart around them. Plus, there’s 56 episodes currently on Netflix, making it perfect for binge-watchers.

The crew of the USS Nathan James, a U.S. Navy destroyer, is deployed in the Arctic when a global virus spreads across the world. Cut off from communication, Captain Tom Chandler learns that most governments have collapsed and that civilian virologist Dr. Rachel Scott (Rhona Mitra) is aboard with critical research. As the ship remains unaffected, the crew is tasked with protecting Scott, securing resources, and travelling across the Atlantic to locate survivors and continue her work.

‘Agent Kim Reactivated’

Watch On

There’s another compelling show for thriller fans, which is “Agent Kim Reactivated.” This Korean revenge series adapts the smash-hit digital webtoon Manager Kim into a hyper cinematic TV experience. It’s essentially a “John Wick” meets “Taken” blueprint, with the entire energy of the series shifting between a normal lifestyle and absolute chaos. “Agent Kim Reactivated” seems like an incredibly satisfying Friday-night binge-watch for those who need an adrenaline boost.

Kim Do-hyeon (So Ji-sub) is a quiet bank manager living an unremarkable life with his teenage daughter, Min-ji (Seo Su-min). Beneath his ordinary routine, he hides a past as an elite black-ops operative tied to covert North Korean missions. When Min-ji suddenly disappears after being kidnapped, Kim is forced to abandon his low-profile existence and reactivate his long-buried skills. Each step pulls him deeper into a violent underworld, where he must uncover who took his daughter before time runs out.
