Stranger Things season 5 breaks Netflix record with 59.6 million views in 5 days

Netflix is in shock: Stranger Things is back and DESTROYED all platform records

59.6 million people did not sleep for five nights in a row

Hawkins rules the world again. The final season of Stranger Things received 59.6 million views in its first five days, the best start for an English-language series in Netflix history. Wednesday Addams, with his 56 million, nervously bites his lips.

The first four episodes of the fifth season were released on November 26, and the Internet literally exploded. People took time off, canceled meetings and forgot about sleep. Audience growth compared to season four is a staggering 171%.

A phenomenon that no one expected:

• All five seasons simultaneously entered the top 10 of Netflix — for the first time in history
• Season 1 — 3rd place (8.9 million views)
• Season 4 — 5th place (6.1 million)
• Over 9 years, the series has gained 1.2 billion views

Only the Korean “Squid Game” is ahead with 68 million for four days. But Stranger Things still has a chance to overtake — there are three episodes ahead on December 25 and the finale on January 1, 2026.

By the way, Netflix will show the final episode for the first time in more than 500 theaters simultaneously with the online release. This is no longer a series — this is a cultural event. Xrust.ru recommends not to miss it.
