“Stranger Things” now surpasses 1 billion hours watched, Netflix says

Released on the 27th, the fourth season of the science fiction series “Stranger Things” has surpassed one billion hours watched, Netflix reported on Tuesday (5).

Since the first part of this season, titled Volume 1, was released, viewers have spent 1.15 billion hours watching the nine episodes, of which 301 million last weekend alone: ​​the last two chapters were released on 1st.

With that, “Stranger Things 4” became the second most watched Netflix season of all time, behind only the premiere of “Round 6” in 2021.

Also according to the platform, the sci-fi series occupied the platform’s top 10 in 93 different countries this weekend. Previous seasons of “Stranger Things”, according to the company, were also among the six most watched series, with only “The Umbrella Academy” – starring Elliot Page and Tom Hopper in the cast – in pursuit.

Netflix’s audience measurement system tracks the number of hours a series has been watched in the first 28 days after its release. The numbers vary depending on how episodes are released, how long they last, and various other factors.

Fifth season in the oven

With the huge success of the fourth season, “Stranger Things” will have one final wave of episodes on Netflix. And he should start writing as early as the first week of August, according to brothers Matt and Ross Duffer, creators of the series. “We’ll take a vacation in July and then we’ll be back,” Ross revealed in an interview with Collider.

There is still no release date for the fifth season, but the gap should not be as long as the previous one between the third and fourth: the long wait was due to the Covid-19 pandemic at the beginning of the decade. The Duffer Brothers are also working on a spin-off of the series.
