What will be the top US Netflix show this week?

Platform comparison

Market context

Netflix will publish its official US Top 10 TV list on Tuesday, 21 July 2026, at 3:00 PM ET, capturing viewership from the preceding Monday-to-Sunday period. The market resolves on which programme ranks first by total US views, with settlement defaulting to “Other” if the update fails to appear by 24 July. Current crowd-implied probability for the YES outcome sits at 3%, suggesting the market views the leading candidate as a long shot despite the imminent data release.

Historical patterns show that Netflix’s #1 US show often shifts weekly based on new release cycles rather than sustained dominance, making low implied probabilities common for specific titles unless a major premiere coincides with the settlement window. Comparable cases from 2024–2025 reveal that shows holding #1 for multiple weeks typically carry implied probabilities above 15% in prediction markets, whereas single-week leaders frequently trade below 5%, aligning with the current 3% pricing.

Traders should monitor Netflix’s official Top 10 page at top10.netflix.com immediately after the 3:00 PM ET update, as the ranking is based solely on total US views reported by Netflix. A recent Showlabs analysis confirms “Worst Neighbor Ever” held #1 for the 6–12 July 2026 week, but its status for the 13–19 July period remains unconfirmed until Netflix’s official release [1]. Any delay beyond 24 July triggers an “Other” resolution, adding a binary timing risk to the view-based outcome.

What's the difference between YES and NO shares?

A YES share pays $1.00 if the event happens, $0 otherwise. A NO share pays $1.00 if the event doesn't happen. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.

Do I need to KYC for this market?

The YES/NO percentages are the live mid-prices of the Polymarket order book. On deep markets they move every few seconds; on thinner ones you'll see short plateaus.
