October 2025 brought another month of stability at the top of UK streaming while introducing some new titles.

The Big Bang Theory moved one place to #2, delivering 52.7 million views and one of the highest binge rates in the UK at 45 views per viewer. Friends slipped one spot to #3, holding steady with 49.4 million views and 32 views per viewer, showing its continued strength among British comfort watchers.

At #4, Brooklyn Nine Nine held its ranking, recording 42.4 million views with 35 views per viewer, maintaining its role as one of the UK’s most intensely rewatched comedies. Gilmore Girls rose up to #5 and posted an impressive 36.2 million views and 29 views per viewer, keeping it in the core binge category.

Further down, Sullivan’s Crossing entered the top ten at #6 with 28.2 million views from 2.1 million viewers, reflecting solid early adoption for the drama. The Diplomat: The Cinderella Thing also debuted at #7 (new) with 27.6 million views and 7 views per viewer, showing moderate engagement.

At #8, The Office (US) reappeared from August delivering 26.9 million views with a notable 28 views per viewer, continuing its run as one of the UK’s most reliable back-catalog hits.
