Stranger Things season 4 has shaken up Netflix’s list of most-streamed shows. Following the release of Volume 2, viewers have headed into the Upside Down for more than 1.26 billion hours so far. This means the sci-fi series has become the second ever show on the streamer to top one billion hours viewed.

Of course, the battle for the top spot isn’t over yet. Stranger Things season 4, Volume 2’s figures could also keep growing as its 28-day period is not up until July 28. But given it’s lagging 390 million hours behind, it would take a big push to topple the survival drama. Plenty of other familiar names have made the top list, including Bridgerton, Money Heist, and Lucifer.
