Washington: Stranger Things Season 4 has entered an elite Netflix club. The show’s global visibility reached the billion-hour limit after the release of the final two episodes of the season on July 1, according to streamers’ internal tracking. It is the first television series in the English language and the second series to cross one billion in total. Viewing hours.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Stranger Things 4 now has 1.15 billion hours of viewing time in the first 28 days of release, which includes both halves of the season. The first seven episodes earned 930.32 million hours during their first 28 days, while episodes eight and nine contributed 301.28 million hours to total viewing time during the week of June 27 to July 3.
(Netflix only calculates the viewing time of the second set of episodes divided by the season total to 28 days, as was the case with Stranger Things and Ozark earlier this year.)
In the first 28 days of release, only Squid Game (1.65 billion hours) had more viewers than all other Netflix originals. Stranger Things will likely move closer to or perhaps even surpass the Korean blockbuster given the additional viewing opportunities that the last two episodes will take over three weeks.
Even though they were only available for three days, the final two episodes, which totaled just over four hours, accounted for nearly three-quarters (73 percent) of watching last week’s Stranger Things season four.
The first three seasons remained in the top 10 on Netflix’s English-language list, as they have been doing for the past 15 days, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. The biggest launch weekend for a Netflix series and the highest weekly viewing totals in the United States since Nielsen began tracking weekly streaming rankings, both broken down by season four, according to an analysis by the streaming service.
