What will be the top global Netflix show this week?
The Hawk: Season 1 has a real chance to finish near the top, but the available chart evidence points away from it being the global #1 this week. The most likely outcome is that another title, especially Little House on the Prairie: Season 1, remains ahead globally.
Analysis
The strongest available evidence says The Hawk is not currently the global leader for the relevant week. Netflix’s weekly English TV rankings for July 13-19 show Little House on the Prairie: Season 1 at #1 with 9.8 million views, I Will Find You at #2, and The Hawk at #3 with 4.8 million views. That is a meaningful gap, and it means The Hawk would need an unusually large late-week surge or a sharp drop from the titles above it to end up first globally.
There is some bullish context for The Hawk, because separate coverage says it is performing very well in the United States and a few other English-speaking markets, including top placements in the US, Australia, Canada, and Iceland, with strong ranks in several other countries. That suggests the show has broad appeal and could continue climbing if its momentum carries into the next Netflix update. Still, that evidence does not show it already leading the global weekly chart, and the latest official-style reporting available places it behind Little House on the Prairie.
The market price implies a roughly 28.5% chance of Yes, but that looks somewhat rich relative to the current chart snapshot. The key reason is that the most recent reported global/English TV data shows The Hawk debuting at third rather than first, while a different title is already confirmed at the top with a large viewership lead. Unless there is a major measurement shift, a delayed international breakout, or another title collapses more than expected in the final days, the evidence favors No.
One caveat is that this event resolves on Netflix’s updated global Top 10 list, and pre-update momentum can change quickly if a show gets a strong second-week boost or if weekly viewing is more concentrated than early reports suggest. The Hawk is clearly a contender for the upper tier of the chart, but based on the data currently available, it does not look like the most likely #1 globally this week.
Arguments
For
- Arguments for Yes: The Hawk has strong streaming momentum and is posting top placements in several major English-speaking markets.
- Arguments for Yes: If its viewership accelerates sharply before the weekly cutoff, it could close the gap on the leaders.
Against
- Arguments against Yes: The latest reported weekly data places The Hawk at #3, not #1.
- Arguments against Yes: Little House on the Prairie already has a clear lead in the most recent available global/English TV reporting.
Key drivers
- Little House on the Prairie is already confirmed at #1 in the relevant weekly English TV data with 9.8 million views.
- The Hawk debuted at #3 with 4.8 million views, leaving a sizable gap to the current leader.
- The Hawk has shown strong regional popularity, which could support a later surge.
- The market is already pricing in some chance of a rebound, but not enough to overcome the chart evidence.
Risk factors
- The current official-style chart data does not support The Hawk as the global leader.
- A competing title could maintain momentum or widen its lead before the update.
- If Netflix’s global ranking follows the same pattern as the English chart, The Hawk likely stays below first.
- International strength may be insufficient if most of the viewing remains concentrated in a few markets.
Scenarios
Best case
The Hawk continues to surge across multiple countries, gains enough late-week viewing to overtake all competitors, and lands at #1 on Netflix’s global update.
Most likely
The Hawk stays competitive and may hold a top-three position, but another show remains the global #1 when Netflix publishes the weekly rankings.
Worst case
The Hawk remains behind Little House on the Prairie and other strong titles, finishing outside the top spot and resolving No.

Iran leadership change by...?
AI86%MKT13%Edge+73Hidden GemThe market looks heavily tilted toward Yes because the supplied reporting already indicates that Iran’s top leadership has changed, with Mojtaba Khamenei named as supreme leader or, at minimum, the old leadership structure replaced by an interim council. The main uncertainty is definitional, but under the market’s broad language a Yes outcome is more likely than the current price suggests.

Who will Trump pardon?
AI8%MKT51%Edge-43HypedI assess a low but nonzero chance that Barron Trump receives a presidential pardon before Jan. 21, 2029, because there is no known underlying criminal case that would make a pardon necessary. The market’s near-even price looks materially too high for a normal pardon outcome.

2026: Trump's bad year?
AI58%MKT15%Edge+43Hidden GemI make the bear-case outcome moderately likely in 2026, at about 58%, because Trump is facing a growing stack of high-salience legal and institutional reversals rather than a single isolated controversy. The market’s 13% Yes price looks far too low if the event is defined as meaningful negative developments occurring during the year.
