Netflix offers a huge selection of movies and TV shows. Many new titles have been added to the service since the beginning of the year, and viewers are loving them. Plus, 2026 has been a great year for anime fans on the platform.

Even before 2026 began, people already knew about the movies and shows coming out that year – including both new releases and returning favorites.

According to recent reports, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is currently the most popular show on Netflix in Japan. This is unexpected, as many predicted Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End would be number one, especially considering it’s the highest-rated anime on MyAnimeList. However, Jujutsu Kaisen has taken the lead. It’s even possible it will stay there, as the season is adapting a particularly beloved story arc from the original manga.

Fans of Jujutsu Kaisen will love this, but it’s something all anime fans can celebrate. Having five anime series in the top ten most popular shows is a huge win for the anime industry, demonstrating that anime can stand toe-to-toe with major live-action productions.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Will Dominate Till The End

JJK Is Showing No Signs Of Stopping

The new season of Jujutsu Kaisen is adapting a highly anticipated story arc called the Culling Game. Although the anime won’t cover the entire arc at once, it will adapt a significant portion of it. This makes it very unlikely that the series will lose popularity to other shows.

I’m watching this anime and it looks like it’s going to stay at number one for a while – at least another six weeks, until the season finishes. They’ve aired six episodes so far, with six more still to come.

If any anime series could surpass it, it would likely be Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End. It’s received incredible praise and is considered one of the best anime ever made. Its exceptional quality is clear, and very few shows are on its level. Only time will reveal if it truly lives up to the hype.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is available to stream on Netflix.
