After a three-year absence, Netflix’s Stranger Things returned Friday with its most views in one week since the rise of Squid Game — and it didn’t have the entire week to build up hours.
In the week ended Sunday, Netflix users throughout the world streamed 286.8 million hours of Stranger Things season 4. That’s the most viewing of a program in a single week since the Squid Game phenomenon peaked at 571.8 million hours during one week last year between September and October.

In the first three days of its second season, which debuted March 25, Bridgerton’s second produced 193 million hours of viewing; it subsequently became Netflix’s most watched English-language TV program.
Netflix launched a website in mid-November with weekly charts of its most popular series and movies, as well as a worldwide ranking of all-time most viewed films. Every week, the charts are adjusted and graded by the total amount of time subscribers watched them.
The rankings provide a treasure trove of information about what’s popular on Netflix, with the most popular titles from the previous week represented in over 90 countries. By far, Netflix’s greatest level of transparency ever. It will also assist customers like you have a better grip on what’s most popular on the world’s largest subscription video service.
Netflix has been notoriously tight-lipped about its viewership for years. Beau Willimon, the creator of House of Cards, which put Netflix’s original programming on the map, once said that Netflix would not even share viewing statistics with him.
However, in recent years, Netflix has revealed its shows and movies’ popularity to help recruit talent and spark excitement. First, Netflix introduced a top-trending list to its service so that customers may see which of their country’s most popular titles are streaming on the platform on any particular day. After that, it began releasing popularity statistics for specific titles, disclosing the number of accounts that watched two minutes of a certain title in its first month of release.
