Netflix Scores Big With New Western Series Officially Taking Over the World
Netflix's new Western series *Little House on the Prairie* has become the platform's most-watched show, overtaking the Harlan Coben thriller *I Will Find You* in the latest weekly viewership rankings. The shift highlights Netflix's continued success across genres in 2026, following strong performances from projects such as the sci-fi thriller *War Machine*, and underscores the streamer's ability to keep multiple original series near the top of its charts simultaneously.

The Coben thriller has now surpassed 90 million total views and is expected to pass 100 million before its run ends, while Netflix had already renewed *Little House on the Prairie* for a second season back in March, well ahead of its global premiere.
