One prediction market prices this story:

  • The Pitt — the market puts it at 11%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if The Pitt is the top search result on Google’s Year in Search 2026 Global - Tv Shows list for the year 2026. It resolves to No if it does not hold that position. Readers often mistake the deadline, thinking the ranking must be confirmed before the end of 2026, but the resolution depends solely on the final annual list published by Google.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
