One prediction market prices this story:

  • Will "The Diplomat: Season 4" be the #2 US Netflix show this week? — resolved “No” on 20 Oct 2026. The outcome depends on which show ranks second on Netflix's Top 10 list for the week of October 12–18, 2026. The market resolves based on the official update posted to top10.netflix.com by Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET. Readers often mistake the linked article's discussion for the ranking data or miss that ties break alphabetically rather than by viewership count.

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.
