Netflix’s Global Top 10 charts add The Bombing of Pan Am
A Netflix title has cracked the streamer’s global Top 10 lineup, and the real question now is whether Season 2 is on the table.
Backed by the weight of real history, The Bombing of Pan Am 103 has surged up Netflix ’s weekly Top 10 after all six episodes landed on the service on July 30, 2026 . The drama turns the 1988 Lockerbie attack and the yearslong pursuit of answers into a tense procedural that plays out across both sides of the Atlantic.
Written by Jonathan Lee and directed by Michael Keillor, the limited drama moves between Scotland and the United States, tracing how local detectives and the FBI worked the case while following the emotional toll on Lockerbie residents and the victims’ families.
Among the key players:
- Connor Swindells
- Patrick J. Adams
- Lauren Lyle
- Phyllis Logan
The show first aired on BBC One before its worldwide Netflix release. Early momentum has been strong: reports indicate roughly five million views soon after launch and Top 10 placements in dozens of countries, while Rotten Tomatoes lists a 100% critics’ score from reviews tallied so far.
No. 3 on Netflix’s global TV chart
Will there be a Season 2?
Short answer: not currently. Netflix classifies the project as a limited series—a self-contained story told across six episodes. Neither Netflix nor the BBC has announced additional installments, and there’s no follow-up in production.
Because it ’s built around one specific historical case, there isn’t an obvious storyline to continue. If anything changed, it would likely be a new real-world investigation under the same banner rather than a direct continuation. For now, all six episodes are streaming on Netflix.
