$100K Action Thriller ‘Hierarchy’ Is a Global Streaming Success on Netflix

Netflix surprised viewers in March 2026 with a hit action thriller called Hierarchy. Despite sounding like a spin-off of shows like Ballers or Billions, it’s a surprisingly popular, low-budget film created by Russell K Reed and Chiderah Uzowulu. Added to Netflix recently, Hierarchy has quickly become a global sensation, currently ranking as the 10th most popular movie on the platform with a budget of just $100,000. It’s behind Alan Ritchson’s War Machine, which is currently number one (though War Machine‘s budget is likely much higher).

But it’s more than just a confusing mystery – it’s a moving story about people, set against a backdrop of fascinating science fiction, and it’s one of the best TV shows of the last ten years.
