Netflix latest weekly ratings report paints a mixed picture for two high profile dramas, with one established hit losing momentum while a network series gains unexpected traction on streaming.

The Night Agent returned for its third season with 8.4 million views, securing the number two position on the platform weekly chart. By most standards, that is a strong premiere

week performance. However, the number marks a sharp decline from Season 2, which debuted with 13.9 million views under a similar release pattern. The drop represents roughly a 40 percent decrease in opening audience, signaling that the political thriller has not been able to replicate the explosive momentum it once enjoyed.

The contrast becomes even clearer when looking back at the series first season. When Season 1 launched in March 2023, Netflix was still measuring viewership in hours viewed. It amassed 168.7 million hours in its opening week. Under the current reporting method, that total translates to approximately 21 million views, a significantly higher starting point than either of the subsequent seasons. The strength of that debut helped place the show at number ten on Netflix Most Popular English TV list, alongside titles such as Bridgerton, The Queen’s Gambit, Dahmer Monster The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Stranger Things and Wednesday.

After days of heavy rain in Los Angeles the sky finally clears just long enough for a very specific kind of miracle. Under a brief stretch of blue sky nearly two thousand hopeful actors models and dreamers strip down to swimsuits and flood the marina for an open casting call tied to the reboot of Baywatch. Red swimwear gleams in the sunlight bodies

glisten with oil and optimism hangs thick in the salty air. One thing is certain. You simply cannot wear a red Speedo in the rain and today at least the weather is cooperating.

The event takes place outside the Marina del Rey Marriott where people of every age and body type line up for a chance to be seen. Some jog toward lifeguard towers clutching their dignity along with their swimsuits. Others stretch in parking lots or jog slowly into cold water despite the chill. The temperature barely hits fifty degrees but the commitment is unwavering. Everyone wants to be the next icon like David Hasselhoff or Pamela Anderson and for forty five seconds of dialogue it feels possible.

According to a press statement from Fox, the beloved Family Guy character will star in his own spinoff, Stewie, which will premiere during the 2027-2028 season. In addition, the network has already confirmed that a second season is on the way. So, what can fans expect from the perpetual toddler's latest venture?

"After being kicked out of his old preschool, Stewie is forced to enroll in a new one that isn't exactly top-of-the-line," according to the network's synopsis. "It's attended by a few kids he doesn't know, as well as a 75-year-old class turtle who has a half-cocked theory on almost every subject. Stewie, the other kids, and the turtle are all unhappy until he rolls out his trusty array of devices to take them anywhere in space and time, turning every boring day at school into an insane and surreal adventure.”

Of course, Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane, who voices Stewie, will star in and executive produce the spinoff.

"I'd like to thank Fox for this incredible opportunity," Seth, 52, said in a statement, before laughingly adding, "and I'm excited to start pretending I'm collaborating closely with them on the show."

Family Guy, which premiered in 1999, has achieved cultural significance, running for 24 seasons and producing 450 episodes, making it one of the longest-running scripted animated series in television history.

The show follows the Griffin family, including parents Brian and Lois, and children Meg, Chris, and Stewie, with voices provided by Seth MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, Mila Kunis, and Seth Green. Despite upcoming plans for a Stewie-centric spinoff, MacFarlane has indicated no intention to end Family Guy, citing continued audience affection and positive engagement.

He remarked to the Los Angeles Times in 2024 that as long as the show's popularity remains, there is no compelling reason to conclude it. As fans await the Stewie series, they can look forward to its premiere on Fox and subsequent streaming on Hulu and Disney+
