As of mid-March, streaming data from Netflix’s official Tudum rankings, FlixPatrol daily trackers and industry reports highlight five standout series dominating the Australian Top 10 TV list. These shows reflect a blend of fresh premieres that landed early in the month and evergreen hits boosted by new seasons or renewed interest.
Here are the five most popular Netflix series in Australia right now, based on viewership trends, days in the Top 10 and audience buzz through late March 2026:
1) The Dinosaurs: Season 1 This four-part Netflix documentary series, which premiered March 6, has surged to the No. 1 spot on Australia’s TV chart in recent days. Narrated with stunning CGI recreations, it explores the rise, dominance and extinction of dinosaurs, appealing to families, science enthusiasts and fans of natural history content.
The series quickly climbed rankings after launch, holding strong positions on FlixPatrol and Tudum data for the week of March 9-15. Viewers praise its educational yet entertaining format, with high rewatch value for younger audiences. It’s part of Netflix’s push into high-production documentaries this month, and its top ranking underscores Aussies’ appetite for informative programming amid a busy streaming slate.

2) ONE PIECE: Season 2 The live-action adaptation of the iconic anime returned with Season 2 on March 10, rocketing to No. 2 on the Australian chart. Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat crew continue their Grand Line adventures, facing new foes like Marine Captain Smoker in this candy-colored pirate epic.
Critics and fans lauded Season 1’s faithful yet accessible take on the source material, and early buzz suggests Season 2 delivers even bigger set pieces and character moments. Its rapid ascent reflects strong loyalty from anime and adventure fans Down Under, where the franchise has a dedicated following. Days in the Top 10 continue to climb as word-of-mouth spreads.
3) Virgin River: Season 7 The long-running romantic drama dropped new episodes March 12, propelling it to No. 3 on Australia’s most-watched list. Mel Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson) navigate love, loss and small-town life in this comforting series based on Robyn Carr’s novels.
Season 7 picks up after major life changes, with familiar faces returning amid fresh storylines. Its consistent performance highlights the show’s enduring appeal as cozy escapism, especially popular among viewers seeking emotional, character-driven stories. It has held steady in the Top 10 for weeks, benefiting from binge-watch momentum.

4) Bridgerton: Season 4 The Regency-era sensation remains a powerhouse at No. 4, with the latest season (including recent additions) drawing massive audiences. Focused on new leads amid the ton’s scandals, balls and romances, Bridgerton continues to captivate with lavish production, steamy moments and sharp social commentary.
Though not a March premiere, fresh episodes and ongoing cultural buzz keep it in heavy rotation. Australian viewers, who have embraced the series since its 2020 debut, contribute to its global dominance. Tudum data shows it racking up high view hours, cementing its status as a perennial favorite.
5) Vladimir: Limited Series This new romantic dramedy, starring Rachel Weisz as a professor entangled in an obsessive crush on colleague Vladimir (Leo Woodall), premiered March 5 and quickly landed in the Top 10. Blending humor, tension and psychological depth, it draws from Julia May Jones’ novel and features strong supporting turns from John Slattery and Jessica Henwick.
Its fresh premise and acclaimed cast propelled it into rankings shortly after release, with viewers praising Weisz’s nuanced performance. As a limited series, it offers complete viewing in one go, making it ideal for March binge sessions. It rounds out the top five with strong early momentum.

Other notable mentions in the broader Top 10 include “Dynasty: The Murdochs” (a buzzy four-episode docuseries released March 13), “Mark Rober’s CrunchLabs” (family-friendly science content), “Heartland” (long-running Canadian drama) and “The Night Agent” (thriller holdover).
March’s lineup has been packed, with additions like “Heartbreak High” Season 3 (Australia’s own teen drama finale, arriving later in the month), “War Machine” (a high-profile film but boosting related buzz) and various reality and docuseries. The month’s releases — from pirate adventures to dino deep dives — have kept subscribers engaged amid autumn weather encouraging indoor viewing.
Netflix Australia’s charts show a healthy mix of originals, returning hits and niche favorites, with family-oriented and escapist content leading the way. Data from FlixPatrol and Tudum (covering periods like March 9-15 and daily snapshots) confirm these five as the clear standouts in viewership.
As March progresses, expect shifts with upcoming finales like “Heartbreak High” Season 3 and any late-month surprises. For now, dinosaurs, pirates and Regency romance rule Australian screens, proving Netflix’s broad appeal continues to thrive Down Under.

The first one and probably in my mind, the most important one is that we are at a pivotal time, a pivotal time where we’re transitioning from a period of heavy investment because we needed to establish our manufacturing system. We have 2026 being the last year of this heavy investment cycle and then we’re moving to

Thank you, operator. Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon, and welcome to the DiaSorin full year results.
Today, we have a busy agenda. I’m going to make some business remarks. Then our current CFO, Mr. Pedron is going to take us through the 2025 financials, our future CFO, Mr. Alberto is going to discuss about guidance 2026, and then collectively, we’re going to take questions.
So let me start from 2025 business comments. 2025, I think, marked a year of good achievement for our company with success for our strategy in the different technologies with Immuno delivering 7% growth, Molecular Diagnostics year-on-year flat and we’ll see later primarily related to the fact that the flu season this year is — has been very weak. And then LTG delivering to expectation flattish compared to previous year. And again, we will discuss later, primarily due to the fact that on the Life Science segment, as I think is very well known by everybody, 2025 has not been an exciting year.
