Sweet Home logged 43.8 million hours on FlixPatrol, ranking among 2025’s top horror shows

Collider reports that Netflix’s Sweet Home was one of the top five most watched horror TV shows in 2025, pulling in 43.8 million hours streamed on FlixPatrol’s charts.

The series, adapted from Kim Carnby and Hwang Young-chan’s webtoon, follows Cha Hyun-su (Song Kang), the sole survivor of a crash who moves into the Green Home apartment complex as monsters descend on Earth. The show’s premise includes Hyun-su’s ability to transform into one of the monsters, forcing him to navigate survival and identity while banding with neighbors.

The article contrasts Sweet Home’s darker approach with Stranger Things, noting Sweet Home kills off main characters and leans into the grim tone of its source material rather than shielding principal figures from mortal danger. It also highlights other Korean horror hits on Netflix such as All of Us Are Dead and Kingdom, and cites Netflix’s broader push into foreign shows following Squid Game.

The piece adds that the main Stranger Things series has ended, with an animated spinoff, Stranger Things: Tales from ’85, scheduled for release later this year, and that the property’s future is uncertain as creators Ross and Matt Duffer have a new creative deal at Paramount. For now, the article says Sweet Home offers an alternative for viewers coping with the series’ conclusion.
