Netflix BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Netflix has been on an absolute tear this week in both Hollywood headlines and Wall Street drama. First, all eyes turned to markets as the company completed its much-publicized 10-for-1 stock split on November 17, slicing its share price from over $1100 to just above $110, which Rolling Out and Nasdaq both say unleashes a flood of new retail investor interest, making the iconic streamer far more accessible to average buyers. At the same time, the move spotlights Netflix’s historic 17 percent revenue growth in the third quarter of 2025 and a promise that advertising revenue will double in the coming year, per Rolling Out. Nasdaq adds that full-year free cash flow is now forecast to top a staggering $9 billion, underlining Netflix’s best-in-class financial momentum.

But the real cultural conversation this week has nothing to do with stock: Variety and numerous entertainment outlets are building buzz for what is arguably the most stacked November in Netflix history. Stranger Things 5 debuts Volume 1 on November 26, and no one anywhere on social media can stop talking about it as the beginning of the very end of an era. Right behind that comes Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein on November 7, a film already flooding awards speculation columns. Then sprinkle in Richard Linklater’s Nouvelle Vague on November 14 and Squid Game The Challenge Season 2, which storms back onto reality TV starting November 4.

And did you see the nostalgia bomb drop about Sesame Street arriving for the first time on November 10? Family viewing metrics are expected to soar as chatter spreads about kids and, let's be honest, plenty of grownups queuing up those classic episodes. Over on the music beat, November 21 brings Ed Sheeran’s New York concert special, a one-night streaming event that is already trending on celebrity Twitter feeds.

Meanwhile, the business press is rife with rumors, as Simply Wall St reports speculation that Netflix could be eyeing a major bid for Warner Bros Discovery’s streaming and studio assets—though that remains firmly in the rumor column for now, with no confirmation from any parties. Investors are also glued to management commentary on content cost discipline; overhead for prestige originals is climbing, and the cost-benefit of that huge catalogue expansion will determine Netflix’s next chapter. Still, as AOL and Tom’s Guide both highlight, Netflix dominates the spotlight with multiple November releases and continues to set the streaming agenda for everyone from armchair critics to market analysts.
