The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) has announced their customer’s top films, television and streaming series and stars of 2023.

IMDb determines its definitive year-end lists using data from IMDbPro MOVIEmeter and STARmeter rankings, which are based on the actual page views of the more than 200 million monthly visitors to IMDb.

This year, it’s no surprise that Oppenheimer tops the list of most popular movies and The Last of Us is the top series. Both were outstanding productions and popular with viewers.

As a result, fans were keen to find out more. Pedro Pascal is this year’s top star, fuelled by his performances as Joel Miller in The Last of Us and the titular character in The Mandalorian (the IMDb No. 5 series).

“Our lists of the most popular films, series, and stars reflect a year of truly outstanding stories and performances that delighted IMDb customers worldwide,” said Col Needham, founder and CEO of IMDb. “From the ‘Barbenheimer’ phenomenon to The Last of Us and the Succession series finale, fans connected over these unique pop culture moments and once again turned to IMDb to learn more about the extraordinarily talented cast and creators who brought these stories to life.”
