“Stranger Things 4” broke the record for the most watched Netflix series in its premiere week.

Nearly three years after Stranger Things season 3 aired, there were plenty of fans and not-so-fans of the show who were looking forward to the fourth season and eagerly waiting for news about it.

In May, Netflix announced the release of the fourth season of Stranger Things, which will also be divided into two parts: Stranger Things 4 Volume 1, released on May 27, and Stranger Things 4 Volume 2, which will be out May 27th. The premiere will take place on July 1.

This volume 1 of Stranger Things will have 7 chapters and it is in just 3 days since its premiere, it has reached levels never before seen on Netflix.and possibly on any online platform since its inception.

Thanks to the ranking of the most watched Netflix series for the corresponding week from May 23 to May 30, we learned that Stranger Things 4 has reached a whopping 287 million hours watched (We remember that in just 3 days), with a difference of almost 222 million compared to the second in the ranking of The Lincoln Lawyer: Season 1.

This record for most hours watched on Netflix belongs to Bridgerton: Season 2 with 193 million views. It should be noted that data from Stranger Things only 3 daysbecause it was released on May 27th and ranked from May 23rd to May 30th.

The same case happened with “Bridgerton: Season 2” which came out on the 25th, so the recording data he received cannot be compared with a one day difference with the data of “Stranger Things 4”. However, being objective and based on the Netflix rankings, this record was broken by a wide margin.

In this list of the most popular series for the week of May 23 to 30, we can find something very curious, and this is that, with the exception of The Lincoln Lawyer, “Stranger Things” and all its seasons top the top fivethus showing how eagerly the fans of this series were waiting for the fourth season.

The next step for Stranger Things 4 will be an attempt to break the record for the most watched series in the first 28 days, which Bridgerton: Season 2 currently holds again. with 627.11 million hours watchedwhich at the moment seems more than feasible.
