binge-watchers

Serial episode consumers

Binge-watchers are people who watch multiple episodes of a television series in rapid succession, often consuming an entire season in one or a few sittings.

The term emerged with streaming services that release full seasons at once, enabling viewing marathons: The show's cliffhangers are designed for binge-watchers.
