Netflix's charts have a new leader, and the movie that takes the top spot on the streaming service globally is a sequel to one of Netflix's biggest hits. There are many exciting movies to watch on Netflix this week, ranging from new releases to classics that are now arriving on the streaming service. However, none have performed as solidly as one film.

Netflix has quite a few fantasy franchises on its roster of movies and TV shows. Some of those included huge performers for the streamer, such as The Witcher, which has a new movie rising on Netflix's charts, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Damsel, Troll, and more. The latter became a major hit for Netflix, and its sequel is following in its path.

According to FlixPatrol, Troll 2 is the most-watched movie on Netflix worldwide. The Norwegian monster film arrives on the streamer three years after the first film in the fantasy franchise, pulling in major numbers at the streamer after becoming available for Netflix subscribers on December 1st. Troll 2 leaves behind the Christmas movie Jingle Bell Heist, which now falls into 2nd place.

The Troll franchise continues to prove itself a strong performer for Netflix. After all, 2022's Troll rose to become Netflix's most-viewed non-English movie of all time, with 103 million views in its first 91 days on the platform, according to Netflix's own data. The monster movie narrowly beats Under Paris, the shark horror film that boasts 102.3 million views.

Based on how Troll 2 is now the most-watched movie on Netflix globally, the film is well on its way to joining the Top 10 Most Popular Non-English Movies list at Netflix. That said, there is one difference between the 2022 franchise starter and its 2025 sequel. Troll holds a 90% Rotten Tomatoes critics' score, while Troll 2 falls short.

The Troll sequel is currently at a 58% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of writing. That said, given its recent release, that number could fluctuate, possibly inching closer to Troll's approval, but not as close as the crew behind the movie might have wanted. Still, Troll 2 is already a streaming success.

Troll 2 reunites the trio of Nora Tidemann, Andreas Isaksen, and Kristoffer Holm as they befriend a troll to fight another. In Troll's mid-credits scene, a roar teased that a troll was emerging from a mountain, with the villain being the focus of the sequel. Troll 2's ending teases where a trilogy finale could go.
