Most Tracked British TV Shows — SeasonTracker Data August 2026
Black Mirror is tracked by 116 SeasonTracker users this week, making it the most tracked British series on the platform by a margin of 41 trackers over the next title. The Night Manager sits second on 75, and Peaky Blinders third on 51. Those three shows alone account for roughly 17 percent of all tracking activity across the top 15 British series listed below.
The wider context: 1,420 SeasonTracker users are currently tracking at least one show, across 5,823 unique titles. Against that spread, a British series needs only a few dozen trackers to reach the top 15, which makes Black Mirror's 116 unusually concentrated for a single title.
The full ranking for the week of August 17, 2026:
1. Black Mirror (Channel 4) - 116 trackers 2. The Night Manager (BBC One) - 75 trackers 3. Peaky Blinders (BBC One) - 51 trackers 4. Sherlock (BBC One) - 41 trackers 5. Death in Paradise (BBC One) - 28 trackers 6. Call the Midwife (BBC One) - 27 trackers 7. Doctor Who (BBC One) - 26 trackers 8. Shetland (BBC One) - 23 trackers 9. The Great British Bake Off (Channel 4) - 22 trackers 10. His Dark Materials (BBC One) - 21 trackers 11. Ludwig (BBC One) - 20 trackers 12. Strike (BBC One) - 20 trackers 13. Luther (BBC One) - 17 trackers 14. The Capture (BBC One) - 16 trackers 15. Fleabag (BBC Three) - 16 trackers
Week-over-week movement is minimal. Eleven of the 15 shows held flat. Black Mirror lost one tracker and The Great British Bake Off lost one, while Death in Paradise and The Capture each gained one. None of those shifts changes the order of the list, and at these counts a single-tracker move is closer to noise than trend. The more useful read is stability: SeasonTracker users are holding on to these British titles rather than cycling through them.
Network distribution is heavily skewed. BBC One accounts for 11 of the 15 entries and 330 of the 519 total trackers in the top 15. Channel 4 contributes two shows, Black Mirror and The Great British Bake Off, but Black Mirror's count alone puts the network second by volume. BBC Three appears once, through Fleabag.
Genre tagging tells a clearer story than network does. Crime appears in nine of the 15 entries, and Mystery in eight, with Drama attached to 14 of the 15. The procedural and mystery cluster, including Sherlock, Shetland, Strike, Luther, The Capture and Death in Paradise, adds up to 141 trackers. Reality television is represented only by The Great British Bake Off at 22, and it is the single entry on the list without a Drama tag.
Status is close to evenly split. Seven of the 15 are marked Ended, including Peaky Blinders, Sherlock, Call the Midwife, Doctor Who, His Dark Materials, Luther and Fleabag, together carrying 199 trackers. That means a substantial share of British tracking activity on SeasonTracker is directed at completed runs, which suggests catch-up and rewatch behaviour rather than week-to-week episode following.
Month-over-month comparisons are not available for any title in this ranking yet, so this week's figures serve as the baseline for future reports.
