Report: Netflix series harmed by delays in new seasons

SAPO Notícias13 September 2026 at 08:02

A report from market intelligence company Luminate Intelligence revealed that Netflix series are losing viewers between seasons due to the prolonged wait time between new season releases.

The study indicates that the longer the interval between seasons, the greater the likelihood that viewers will abandon the series before returning for the next season.

The series "Stranger Things" is presented as a concrete example of this problem, with fans having waited 3 years and 5 months until the release of the final season.

This trend represents a significant challenge for the streaming platform, which needs to find a balance between producing quality content and maintaining viewer interest over time.

Why this matters

This report is relevant for Portuguese viewers who follow series on Netflix, as it reveals that patience for waiting for new seasons has concrete limits. The trend of increasingly long intervals between seasons, common in high-budget productions, can directly affect the experience of those who invest emotional time in these series and expect regular continuity in the narratives.

Sculpture 'Saudade' leaves Galeão and goes to Marina da Glória, previously put up for sale

The sculpture "Saudade", 1.80m tall, created by artist Beto Gatti, was transferred from Tom Jobim International Airport, where it remained for four years, to the promenade of Axia Marina da Glória, in the south zone of Rio de Janeiro. The piece, which will be on display for a month in Guanabara Bay, is part of the new edition of the Monumental Arte na Marina da Glória project, opening this Sunday (13). Along with two other bronze sculptures by the same artist — all for sale, with 20% of the proceeds going to the Associação Saúde Criança — the work proposes a reflection on how screens keep us connected but not always close. The exhibition serves as a preview of the arrival of ArtRIO next week, while Gatti prepares a show on the same theme in London.
