Stranger Things Final Season Leads Netflix Charts

Netflix's final season of Stranger Things continued to lead streaming viewership in its second week, amassing 24.4 million views from December 1 to 7, after a record-breaking debut over the Thanksgiving holiday. The sci-fi series, created by the Duffer Brothers, drew 59.6 million views for its first four episodes in the initial five days, marking the largest premiere week for an English-language show in the platform's history.

The show's sustained popularity is evident in its total of 84.8 million views since launch, positioning it among Netflix's top performers. All five seasons appeared on the English-language TV Top 10 chart during the week, with Season 1 at third place with 8.2 million views, Season 2 at fifth with 6.8 million, Season 3 at sixth with 5.9 million, and Season 4 at seventh with 5.3 million. This marks the second consecutive week that prior installments have ranked alongside the new season, reflecting renewed interest following a three-year hiatus between Season 4 and 5.

Viewers have two more releases to anticipate: Volume 2, featuring the next three episodes, arrives on Christmas Day, followed by a two-hour-and-five-minute series finale on New Year's Eve....
