The May 27 debut of Stranger Things 4 marked Netflix’s biggest premiere weekend ever,
drawing in 287 million hours viewed in just 3 days. Now, after the season’s first full week
of availability, its success continued and broke another, and bigger, record:
It’s already Netflix’s third most popular English-language TV season ever. Netflix
calculates that list based on viewership during a title’s first 28 days of availability,
meaning that Stranger Things season 4 still has 18 days to move even higher up the chart.
According the streamer’s newly released weekly Top 10 rankings, Season 4 Volume 1 has also
smashed the record for most-viewed show in a week among Netflix’s English-language TV series,
with 335 million hours watched from May 30 to June 5. That title was previously held by the second
season of Bridgerton, which racked up 251.74 million hours viewed for the week of March 28
to April 3 — its first full week on the streaming service. The South Korean drama Squid Game still
holds the overall record for most-viewed show on Netflix across a seven-day period, among both
English-language and non-English-language titles, with 571.76 million hours viewed in one week.
With those impressive stats, Stranger Things 4 easily retained its number 1 position on
Netflix’s Top 10 list for English-language TV series during the May 30-June 5 viewing window.
Stranger Things season 4 has also defeated Obi-Wan Kenobi in the opening weekend streaming viewership
battle on Memorial Day weekend. Disney's decision to release the Ewan McGregor-led show on the
same day as Stranger Things led to surprise and instant interest over which series would reign
supreme. Deadline and Nielsen reported that overall, Stranger Things netted 5.1 billion
minutes of streaming time across the May 27-29 weekend, while Obi-Wan Kenobi earned 1 billion.
However, as Stranger Things had far more episodes to consider, Nielsen also broke the numbers down
between each show's first episode. While Obi-Wan Kenobi had 6.2 million viewers on its release day
compared to Stranger Things's 6 million, Stranger Things overtook viewership numbers over the course
of the 3-day weekend. By the end, Obi-Wan Kenobi drew in 11.2 million views,
and Stranger Things season 4 totaled 12.7 million. With the second volume of Stranger Things 4 set
to be released in July and three more episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi to be released this month,
however, there is still time for the tides of the viewership war to turn.
But that just shows you how popular Stranger Things is in general, and one could argue
that season 4 could be the biggest tv show of the year. Overall, very exciting times.
And that is all that we have for today. What do you think
about these new viewership records for Stranger Things 4?
