Time for another Netflix data dump!
Every six months, Netflix releases a spreadsheet listing all the films and TV shows that have been watched on their platform at least 100,000 times during the period in question. And every time they release one of these spreadsheets, I go through it looking for all the Bible-movie titles I can think of, to see how they ranked, and to see how their viewership numbers have risen and/or fallen over time.
The new list covers the period between July and December 2025, and the top Bible film and TV show this time are a mix of the familiar and the very, very new:
The top Bible movie—broadly defined—was Ruth & Boaz, a modernization of the book of Ruth that premiered September 26.
Runner-up, if you define “Bible movie” to mean a movie set in Bible times: 2017’s The Star, an animated Nativity movie that, naturally enough, tends to get more views in the second half of the year than the first. (Fun fact: The Star and Ruth & Boaz were both produced by DeVon Franklin.)
Prior to this, the top Bible movies were 2014’s Noah (in January-June 2023), 2017’s The Star (in July-December 2023), 2014’s Exodus: Gods and Kings (in January-June 2024), 2024’s Mary aka Mary Mother of Jesus (in July-December 2024), and 2004’s The Passion of the Christ (in January-June 2025).
The top Bible TV show was The Chosen: Season 1, which previously topped the list in both halves of 2023 but then spent the next year and a half behind 2024’s Testament: The Story of Moses, a straight-to-Netflix docu-series.
Most of the biblical titles from the previous “data dump” are still on the list, and there are some interesting newbies too, like the Brazilian telenovela Os Dez Mandamentos aka Moses and the Ten Commandments (200 hours of television spread out over two seasons!).
So, once again, I have rounded up all the relevant films and shows I could find and have listed them below, noting how their numbers have evolved over the course of the six “data dumps” released so far. As before, I compiled this list by looking for specific high-profile titles—including every title on the Bible-movie list that I use in my box-office reports—and then by searching for keywords like “gospel”, etc.
