Now that it’s been a month since Stranger Things Season 4 aired, it’s official: The season didn’t break Squid Game’s record for becoming Netflix’s most popular TV series of the season. variety.
The streamer calculates this statistic based on hours watched during the first 28 days of the title’s availability. In the case of the segmented release of Stranger Things season 4, viewers of volume 1 within 28 days of launch were combined with viewers of volume 2 28 days after launch.
Therefore, this means that the Volume 1 audience during the second Volume eligibility window did not contribute to the final rating. As a reminder, Volume 1 consists of seven episodes that debuted on May 27th, while Volume 2 consists of two episodes that debuted on July 1st.
In the end, Stranger Things season 4 finished with 1.4 billion hours watched, compared to Squid Game’s 1.7 billion. It is important to note the length of the two seasons: Squid Game is about 8 hours in total, while Stranger Things season 4 is about 13 hours. But that extra 5 hours of pure nostalgic retro sci-fi wasn’t enough to beat the South Korean drama.
Does this statement sound like the death knell for American dominance of television series in the world? It’s too early to tell, but there’s no doubt that Squid Game has taken a step forward to become the most watched series on Netflix. Good luck to non-English series!
