Stranger Things is one of Netflix's biggest and most popular shows.
As revealed by the streaming giant last year, the last two seasons of Stranger Things pulled in huge numbers for the platform. However, the first part of Season 4 is set to outdo both in its opening week alone.
According to the official Stranger Things account on Twitter, the series logged 286.79 million hours over the weekend and topped the charts in 83 countries. That's nearly half of all territories where you can watch Netflix, which is not an easy feat. Furthermore, even if we expect a slight dip in viewership numbers over the coming days, the first seven episodes of Stranger Things Season 4 should beat Season 3's series-best 582 million hours over its first 28 days of release. Unfortunately, we don't think that the latest season of Stranger Things can beat Squid Game's debut season for the biggest launch on Netflix.
Netflix definitely needed this.
