Netflix’s Stranger Things has made its way to the number one spot on the streamer’s weekly list. According to Deadline, the series has amassed 34.5 million views from December 22 to 28. This was all possible thanks to the three newly released episodes that premiered on Christmas Day.
The final season as many people were aware, the final season was split into three parts or volumes leading to its final episode which premieres on December 31, 2025. Deadline mentions that during the week prior, Volume One had accumulated 8.2 million views back in November. During that time, the series was at the fourth place and over time, Netflix calculated the number of views as hours viewed divided by the runtime; the new episodes came in at a total of more than three hours. Netflix hasn’t revealed the total amount of viewers that saw the second volume of the series.
As for the rest of the top ten, Deadline reports, all four seasons from the series landed there with view counts. At the number five spot, season one had 4.8 million views; Season two was at the number nine spot with 3.6 million views; season three was at the number eight spot with 3.6 million views; and season four was at the number six spot with 4.1 million views. There was one contender that had nearly the same amount of viewers when it came to streaming and that was The Great Flood. The Korean disaster film took first place on the non-English film list with 33.1 million views, almost matching with the final season of Stranger Things.
In second place for the streamer’s list was the series Emily in Paris. The fifth season was able to amass total of 13.3 million views, according to Deadline, in third place was Dave Chappelle’s (What’s in a Name?, Dave Chappelle: The Dreamer) new comedy special The Unstoppable which had a viewer count of 9.2 million views.
