Stranger Things has always been one of Netflix’s most popular shows, and now it has made history with season 5. Stranger Things season 5 has now entered Netflix’s all-time Top 10 in the no. 9 spot with 105,700,000 views. At this rate, it is probably going to move up a bit on the list, as it’s not far behind Bridgerton Season 3 at no. 8 and not too far from The Queen’s Gambit at no. 7.
That’s not the only big reveal from the latest Netflix chart, as Stranger Things has also joined the exclusive club of being watched for over 1 billion hours. Stranger Things season 1 has passed the threshold, as has Dahmer: Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Stranger Things Season 4, and Wednesday season 1. That club also includes Squid Game seasons 1 and 2, and Squid Game season 1 actually holds the most hours viewed with over 2 billion.
What’s Next For The Stranger Things Franchise?
With viewership like that, there’s no way that Netflix just lets the franchise fade away, and the good news is that there are multiple projects on the horizon, and the one that’s on the immediate horizon is Stranger Things: Tales From ’85. The animated series will take place between seasons 2 and 3, and will pick up after Eleven shuts off access to the Upside Down. That created some interesting challenges as far as how to integrate danger and threats, but the team seems to have cracked the code on the premise.
