## Key points

- Netflix viewing time per person has risen by just 2 per cent in 2026.
- The article says more subscribers are paying without regularly watching.
- Netflix shares have fallen sharply from their 2025 peak.

## Summary

The article argues that many Netflix subscribers are paying for the service but rarely watching it, a group described by analysts as “subscription zombies”. It says viewers may be tiring of the platform’s original shows, and that Netflix’s modest growth in viewing time and falling share price point to a business that has lost momentum.

The article cites Netflix’s UK top ten, led by the romcom *Nobody Wants This*, alongside a reality show based on the Stanford Prison Experiment and the Canadian thriller *Below*. It notes that *Ghosts*, which ended three years ago, is among the chart’s offerings, while the writer criticises *East of Eden*. Netflix viewing minutes per person have risen by 2 per cent in 2026; its shares have fallen from $93.76 at the start of the year to $65.85 by last week, and are down from a peak of $134.
