StrangerThings4 is running up that hill, as the series approaches the all-time record for most-watched English Language series just 10 days after the Season 4 premiere!
It's fitting that Kate Bush was featured prominently in Stranger Things Season 4 because the series is quickly running up the hill that is Netflix's all-time viewership charts. The sci-fi series has once again taken the world by storm and now its massively popular fourth run on the streamer is set to become the most viewed English-language series on the platform. Currently, the show sits with 621.
Stranger Things Season 4 Volume 1 got things off to the best start possible, taking the record from the Shonda Rhimes series for most hours watched in a weekend premiere with a ludicrous 286.79 million hours. Since then, it's held at a very solid pace with 335.01 million hours watched in its first full week with Netflix. With buzz about the series still at a high and 18 days left to rack up more hours viewed, the show should easily cruise past Bridgerton's Season 2 mark soon.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Stranger Things has had the benefit of being one of Netflix's flagships for years now and the long buildup towards Season 4 only intensified the hype. To further emphasize the almost hilarious dominance of the franchise right now, the top of last week's Netflix viewership charts were completely gatekept by the series.
With two more episodes on the way in Volume 2, including an over two-hour, feature-length finale, Stranger Things will have one more shot to pad out its numbers this summer. Volume 1 brought the gang back together once again six months after The Battle of Starcourt to solve a new mystery involving a gruesome new villain.
