This thrilling 6-episode crime series on Netflix has quickly become a hit, ranking among the platform’s most popular new releases in March. Released on March 13, 2026, the show is packed with suspense and unexpected turns, making it a truly captivating binge-watch.
Netflix is having success with limited-run series that are between 4 and 6 episodes long. This length makes them perfect for watching in a single evening or over a couple of sittings. Popular examples include shows like Unfamiliar, Motorvalley, His & Hers, and Free Bert, which is coming back for another season. Now, the new 6-episode series, That Night, is also proving to be a hit on the streaming platform.
That Night Is A Must-Binge On Netflix – Now Top 3 Worldwide
Netflix’s new series, That Night, has quickly become a hit, reaching the top 3 most-watched shows worldwide – surpassed only by One Piece and Virgin River. The story unfolds in the Dominican Republic and centers around a group of sisters, the Arbizu family, who are celebrating what they believe will be their last night together.
Trouble begins when the youngest sister accidentally hits a man with her car after a night out. She claims he threatened her with a gun, but it turns out he was actually a police officer. The sisters rally together to protect her, making a desperate plan to conceal what happened and escape the country, which pushes their loyalty to the ultimate test.
As a huge crime thriller fan, I was immediately hooked by the premise of That Night – it really dives into that age-old question of just how much you’d do for the people you love. From the very beginning, the show throws you right into the thick of it, with a dead body to hide and a desperate attempt to shield the youngest sister. It’s a six-part Netflix series, and it’s based on the really popular novel by Gillian McAllister, which I devoured last year!
Since it came out late last week, “That Night” has quickly become a hit with viewers and is expected to stay in the top 3 worldwide for the next few days. With few new movies or shows being released as the NCAA March Madness tournament begins, “That Night” is a great choice for anyone looking for entertainment. In fact, it’s currently the most popular new crime thriller available for streaming.

With only six episodes, That Night seems designed for quick success on Netflix – it’s easy to watch the entire show in a single evening. Its Friday release date also helps, as that’s when many people start looking for new shows. Plus, it didn’t face as much competition as shows released in January and February, which had a larger number of new and returning series.
Critics generally had a positive, but mixed, reaction to That Night. While most reviewers liked the series, opinions were sharply divided, with some giving it very high praise and others strongly criticizing it. This is reflected in its 63% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and the fact that reviews ranged from 4 out of 5 stars to 1 out of 5 stars.
Our sister site, Collider, rated That Night 8 out of 10 stars, highlighting how the film shifts from a tense thriller about an accidental killing into a moving family drama that thoughtfully examines the value of loyalty. Given its popularity, That Night clearly has broad appeal and is worth watching on Netflix.
