208 episodes of How I Met Your Mother were added in 2024 – Picture: ABC
As always, we’ve been cataloging everything new on Netflix, and this year, we set ourselves the additional challenge of capturing exactly how many television episodes are added to Netflix. We first updated you in April that Netflix had added over 3,000 episodes, but now, as we’re in 2025, what was the total count? It was north of 10,000 TV episodes, with our count placing it at exactly 10,546 TV episodes.
What makes up that total episode count? There’s a real mix of titles from around the world, both Netflix Original and licensed, English-language and otherwise. There’s also a real mix in the number of episodes per release. We saw new seasons of CoComelon with just a single episode and some shows from yesteryear in their entirety that were 100-200 episodes strong. Over 660 series drops came in 2024, making up that total count of 10,546 episodes.
What were the shows that dropped the most episodes? How I Met Your Mother, which returned to Netflix as part of a 14-title deal with Disney, was the most popular with all nine seasons, consisting of 208 episodes. Lots of other shows and sitcoms from that deal also make up most of the other 20 titles.
| Show Title | Seasons Added | Number of Episodes |
|---|---|---|
| How I Met Your Mother | Seasons 1-9 | 208 |
| Rosario Tijeras | Seasons 1-3 | 197 |
| Archer | Seasons 1-13 | 135 |
| Martin | Seasons 1-5 | 132 |
| Reba | Seasons 1-6 | 127 |
| Monk | Seasons 1-8 | 125 |
| My Wife and Kids | Seasons 1-5 | 123 |
| Lost | Seasons 1-6 | 121 |
| Gossip Girl | Seasons 1-6 | 121 |
| Fear the Walking Dead | Seasons 1-8 | 113 |
| The Resident | Seasons 1-6 | 107 |
| This Is Us | Seasons 1-6 | 106 |
| Royal Pains | Seasons 1-8 | 104 |
| Black Clover | Seasons 1-2 | 102 |
| Slam Dunk | Seasons 1-8 | 101 |
| The Jamie Foxx Show | Seasons 1-5 | 100 |
| World Trigger | Seasons 1-3 | 99 |
| Dexter | Seasons 1-8 | 96 |
| Sex and the City | Seasons 1-6 | 94 |
| The Conners | Seasons 1-5 | 93 |
Finally, if we plot the number of episodes per release in a scatter graph and put the releases in buckets (this isn’t exactly scientific, as shows dumped all at once have more episodes, but it’s still interesting), we can see that the majority of releases throughout the year fell into the 6—to 10-episode range. This should be no surprise if you’ve followed Netflix for any period, with most scripted Netflix series falling somewhere between 6 and 10 episodes on average.
The largest Netflix Original season to drop was The Unbroken Voice, with 64 episodes, and the average length of a Netflix Original series was 8.4 episodes long.
| Episode Range | Number of Releases |
|---|---|
| 1 to 5 episodes | 84 |
| 6 to 10 episodes | 277 |
| 11 to 20 episodes | 170 |
| 21 to 50 episodes | 86 |
| 51 to 100 episodes | 26 |
| Over 101 episodes | 15 |
