Has Netflix found its next Elite? In June 2025, Netflix dropped its brand new coming-of-age drama series from Spain and it’s made quite the splash in the Netflix top 10s. There are already reports that the show has been renewed, but we’re still awaiting an official announcement. Here’s what we know.
Starring Clara Galle, Agustín Della Corte, and Nuno Gallego, the new drama series tells the story of some of Spain’s top young athletes competing at the highest level in an elite high-performance center, where each athlete is pitted against the others, often to extreme levels.
The show received mixed reviews from local news outlets upon its release on June 20th, and its IMDb score currently stands at a somewhat unremarkable 5.9/10. As with all Netflix renewals, the show’s future is going to be based on its viewership numbers, including those we can see and numbers we can’t see, such as the completion rate.
We should note that there has already been speculation about an early renewal at Netflix. The news first surfaced on the TeleAudiencias blog, which provided limited details but noted that following a positive reception, Netflix has already opted to proceed with a future season. El Televisero, a brand of The Huffington Post in Spain, subsequently repeated the news. However, Netflix has yet to confirm the news themselves officially and didn’t confirm any renewal to us when we reached out for comment, so watch this space.
Netflix invested a significant amount of marketing power in this series, extending beyond just Netflix Spain’s promotion. The main Netflix account for the US promoted it multiple times, as well as receiving pushes in other areas of Netflix’s giant marketing machine.
How well is Olympo performing on Netflix?
So far, the show has been eligible for two weeks in the global top 10 and has featured both times, having now clocked up 10.10 million views between June 15th and June 29th. In week 2, the show rocketed in viewership, rising 115% from week 1, and although it placed second, it was second to Squid Game season 3, one of the biggest shows in Netflix’s library, so we’ll cut the show some slack. Here’s how the show has stacked up in its first two weeks on Netflix so far:
| Week in Top 10 | Week Period | Hours Viewed | Views / CVE | Weekly Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | June 15th, 2025 to June 22nd, 2025 | 20,500,000 (New) | 3,200,000 | 1 |
| 2 | June 22nd, 2025 to June 29th, 2025 | 44,100,000 (+115%) | 6,900,000 | 2 |
Let’s stack up that performance against Netflix’s other Spanish slate of titles from the past few years to see where the show stacks up.
Given that the show appeals to the same demographic as the Spanish hit Elite, how well does it compare? Well, we don’t have data for some of the earlier seasons, but we do have some of the later seasons and from this graph, we can tell that so far, as of two weeks in, the show is slap bam between seasons 6 and 7 with that show losing momentum each and every season:
We’re pretty confident that the initial performance, despite being put against Squid Game in season 2, is good enough to justify a renewal, and that those unverified reports we mentioned earlier are or will soon be correct.
If you want to track more of the show’s developments, we’d recommend giving the fan account olympo_updates a follow on X and on Instagram. They’ve been busy collating all information regarding the future of the show already and have plenty of compilations of behind-the-scenes snaps shared by the cast and crew.
