Characters looking at each before they race in Olympo

The Netflix teen drama show Olympo has become a big streaming hit on the platform despite a mediocre Rotten Tomatoes score. The series follows the rivalries and friendships between promising young athletes at an elite training academy as they compete to win lucrative endorsements from the titular global fashion brand. The series has received acclaim for its dramatic storytelling, high-stakes drama, and steamy sex scenes, and the series is performing well during its debut week on Netflix.

Per Netflix, the show debuted at #1 on the Netflix Global Top 10 Non-English Shows for the week of June 16-June 22. Following its debut, the show has amassed 3.2 million views and 20.5 million viewing hours, and ranked above other acclaimed shows like Mercy for None, The Many Deaths of Nora Dalmasso, La Palma, and Our Unwritten Seoul. Olympo is currently the #1 show in 6 countries and in the Top 10 for 46 countries.

What This Means For Olympo’s Netflix Future

The Show Should Have Long Legs

Olympo is currently one of the best-performing shows on Netflix, and the fact that the series has debuted strongly bodes well for its long-term future. It seems that the show has found an audience in the teen-drama-mystery genre, with a gap left as the wait for Outer Banks season 5 continues. Olympo‘s mix of dramatic story arcs, gritty and realistic themes, and strong, diverse characters has made the show an instant hit on streaming, and its strong debut indicates that this is a show that could span multiple seasons.

f Olympo can continue to resonate with audiences in the coming weeks, there is a good chance that the show could return for a second season and that it can continue its strong Netflix run, staying in the top 10 throughout the summer.

Streaming charts tend to fluctuate week by week, but the fact Olympo is at the #1 spot in its debut week pretty much ensures it is going to be in the charts for at least one more week. What’s more likely is that the show will have a long run on the chart, especially when considering its views and viewing hours are so high. The fact that Olympo is performing above the ensemble show La Palma, which has been on the charts for six weeks, suggests the teen drama could enjoy a similar level of success.

Netflix is dominating the 2024-25 viewership charts and Olympo has the potential to further extend that success for the streaming platform. If Olympo can continue to resonate with audiences in the coming weeks, there is a good chance that the show could return for a second season and that it can continue its strong Netflix run, staying in the top 10 throughout the summer.
