Netflix recently confirmed in its Q2 earnings report that His and Hers stands as the most popular series of 2026. The thriller, which stars Jon Bernthal as Detective Jack Harper, secured 104 million views during the first half of the year. This total puts it four million views ahead of the second-place title, Bridgerton season 4.

Since its premiere on January 8, the show maintained a presence on top ratings reports from Nielsen and other platforms. It currently ranks among the top ten most popular English-language Netflix releases of all time within its first 90 days of availability. This outcome marks a significant success for the project, especially given the competitive release schedule on the service this year.

The series features a story adapted from the book by Alice Feeney. The plot follows Detective Jack Harper as he investigates a murder in a small town. His path crosses with Anna Andrews, a TV reporter played by Tessa Thompson who is also tracking the case. As the investigation progresses, the stakes increase for both characters.

While other recent hits like I Will Find You are currently accumulating views at a fast pace, the initial half of 2026 clearly belongs to His and Hers. The performance of this thriller highlights the ongoing viewer interest in crime drama on the platform.
