Agent Kim Reactivated Holds Netflix No. 1 Spot on Global Non-English TV Chart

Agent Kim Reactivated remained No. 1 on Netflix’s global non-English TV chart for the July 6-12, 2026 tracking week, extending its lead for a second consecutive week. The Korean limited series recorded 9.1 million views during the week, more than double the 3.6 million views reported for the No. 2 title, Teach You a Lesson.¹

Netflix’s official Top 10 page also listed Agent Kim Reactivated: Limited Series at No. 1 for the same global week, with 59.1 million hours viewed and a listed runtime of 6 hours and 29 minutes.² The latest chart result places the SBS action revenge thriller at the center of a strong international run for Korean drama programming on Netflix.

Agent Kim Reactivated Netflix No. 1 Ranking

The July 6-12 chart confirms that Agent Kim Reactivated held first place on Netflix’s non-English TV list after reaching the top in the prior week. Yonhap News Agency reported that the series topped the global non-English TV chart for a second consecutive week, citing Netflix data, and said it ranked No. 1 in 22 countries, including South Korea, Singapore and Peru.³

Segye also reported the second straight week at global No. 1, describing the SBS drama 김부장 as continuing its momentum on Netflix. The report said the series entered the Top 10 in 72 countries, including the 22 countries where it ranked first.⁴

Allkpop reported on July 16, 2026, that Agent Kim Reactivated ranked No. 1 on Netflix’s Global Top 10 Non-English TV Shows list for July 6-12 and expanded to the Top 10 in 72 countries and regions. The outlet also reported that the series led Netflix’s overall TV rankings across English and non-English titles with 9.1 million views.⁵

The official Netflix figures show a wide gap between the first and second positions on the non-English TV chart. Agent Kim Reactivated’s 9.1 million views led Teach You a Lesson, which placed second with 3.6 million views for the July 6-12 week.¹ That difference gives the latest ranking a clear numerical basis beyond country-by-country placement.

What the Series Is About

Netflix Tudum identifies Agent Kim Reactivated as a webtoon-based spy K-drama starring So Ji-sub as Mr. Kim. The central story follows a father whose missing daughter pulls him back into a black-ops past.⁶

The series is also described in Korean coverage as an SBS action revenge thriller, linking its domestic broadcast identity with its international Netflix performance.³ The English title Agent Kim Reactivated has been used across Netflix’s global chart and show guide pages, while Korean reports also refer to the drama by the Korean title 김부장.

The creative team listed by Netflix includes Nam Dae-joong as writer, with Yi Seung-young and Lee So-eun as directors.⁶ The available source material does not provide additional production budget, episode-by-episode performance, or renewal information.

Release Cadence and Global Reach

Agent Kim Reactivated began premiering two episodes weekly on Fridays and Saturdays starting June 26, 2026, according to Netflix Tudum’s show guide.⁶ That cadence means the July 6-12 chart performance came during the continuing release window rather than after a complete all-at-once launch.

The country data reported by Korean and entertainment outlets points to a broad international footprint. Yonhap reported No. 1 rankings in 22 countries and Top 10 placement in 50 additional countries, while Segye and allkpop reported Top 10 placement in 72 countries or countries and regions.³⁴⁵ The sources align on the 22-country No. 1 figure and the 9.1 million weekly view count.

The latest Netflix chart update keeps Agent Kim Reactivated in the leading position among non-English TV titles for the July 6-12, 2026 week. With 9.1 million views, 59.1 million hours viewed, and Top 10 placement reported across 72 countries and regions, the series’ second consecutive week at No. 1 is supported by both Netflix’s official chart data and multiple media reports.
