Stranger Things 4 just became the second Netflix show to hit 1 billion hours viewed

Stranger Things 4, the final season of the popular series, became the second Netflix series to reach a billion hours. Since the season finale on May 27, viewers have spent a total of 1.15 billion hours watching the nine episodes, including 301 million hours last weekend. This makes Stranger Things 4 the second most watched Netflix season of 2021 behind Squid Game. According to the company, it entered the top 10 on Netflix this weekend in 93 different countries. The series is now so popular that it even surpasses previous seasons, with all four seasons of Stranger Things among the top six shows of the weekend on Netflix, second only after Umbrella Academy. Netflix’s audience measurement system is very strange and confusing. The service tracks viewers in the first 28 days after a show airs, but those numbers vary widely based on how episodes aired, length, and other factors.

You could argue that the success of Stranger Things shows how big Squid’s game is. was observed However, strange things can still take him. Netflix numbers no longer count the first set of episodes, but the final two episodes still have a few weeks to get viewing time. These episodes are longer – like a longer film – which gives the show a better picture. (Like I said, measurement is confusing.)So without going into details, it’s safe to say that the current season of Stranger Things is the most popular season. It’s great and sets the show up for next season’s grand finale. It’s a long-running franchise that Netflix has struggled to build on in recent years, so you’d expect the company to put a lot of effort into getting people to care about what’s going on in Hawkins, Indiana. So we can only assume that Stranger Things 5 ​​will be huge.
