The 2026 Super Bowl didn’t just crown a champion on the field; it crowned a new obsession on our screens. After a 60-second teaser for The Adventures of Cliff Booth aired on Sunday night, Netflix saw an immediate 400% spike in search traffic. While fans wait for that Brad Pitt and David Fincher reunion, the current Top 10 list is being dominated by a gritty new Damon-Affleck thriller and a chilling true crime investigation.
Whether you’re looking for a “brain-off” action flick or a deep-dive documentary, here is what is trending on Netflix USA today, February 9, 2026.
The Post-Super Bowl Buzz: ‘The Adventures of Cliff Booth’
In case you missed the commercial that broke the internet, The Adventures of Cliff Booth is a direct sequel to Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. While Tarantino wrote the script, David Fincher is taking the helm, with Brad Pitt reprising his Oscar-winning role.
- The Surge: Netflix has reportedly moved the film’s status to “Featured” on the homepage, even though it doesn’t drop until later this year.
- What to watch instead: If the teaser left you wanting more Pitt-Fincher magic, Netflix’s library currently features The Killer and MINDHUNTER to satisfy your craving for high-tension directing.
