Adolescence Surpasses Stranger Things Season 4 Netflix Record as Top Hit
Regardless of how the fifth season may fare, there’s no denying the success of season 4. When it first aired in 2016, it was evident that viewers were in for a treat. As it transpired, season 4 demonstrated exactly why, as it became Netflix’s most acclaimed and popular original series, setting a new viewership record on their website and becoming the second most-watched English-language series on the platform. In June 2022 alone, Stranger Things garnered a whopping 7.2 billion minutes of streaming viewership in the U.S., following its premiere on May 27. However, even with such a monumental accomplishment under its belt, the luck of Stranger Things had to eventually come to an end at some point.
