Hulk Hogan: Real American had its first few days in release on Netflix last week, and the show’s viewership numbers have been revealed. Netflix revealed its weekly top 10 on Tuesday for the week ending April 26th, and the four-episode docuseries came in at #6 with 3.0 million views. That number is based on 12.3 million hours viewed for the four hour-long episodes.

The series ranked behind last week’s WWE Raw, which was the post-WrestleMania episode and earned 3.3 million views based on 6.6 million hours. The numbers are lower than the 4.9 million that Mr. McMahon earned in its first week in October 2024, though it should be said that Mr. McMahon was more heavily promoted due to its topicality than Real American.

Hulk Hogan: Real American was in the top 10 in 10 countries: Canada (#4), the United States (#5), Denmark (#9), Finland (#6), the United Kingdom (#4), Ireland (#3), Norway (#9), Sweden (#10), Australia (#10), and New Zealand (#9).

Netflix’s global top 10 was topped by the first week of psychological thriller Unchosen with 10.4 million views. That was followed by the premiere week of Running Point season two (5.3 million). The full global top 10 list is below:
