Not only is You after its season 1 cancellation proves it remains a leading light in the genre. Meanwhile, the many, many Mousetrap has proven a big hit on Netflix. The series is a critically acclaimed psychological thriller, after all, much like Netflix’s biggest 2026 hit so far, Netflix's Mousetrap Success Is Part Of A New Wave Of Non-Western Streaming Hits

What makes this so exciting is the fact that there are a slew of South Korean shows just waiting to be discovered by viewers on Netflix, and the success of these recent hits can make these earlier shows feel more accessible to global audiences. The similarly titled Mouse is another twisty psychological thriller full of mind games, as is A Killer’s Paradox.
