Netflix released volume 1 of Stranger Things season 4 on May 27, and while some complained about the long runtime of each episode, most hardcore fans loved every minute of the first part of the supersized season. This is evident in the official watch figures revealed by Netflix, which confirm that the latest season of Stranger Things is the most-watched English language series on the streamer.
Within three days of its release, Stranger Things season 4 had pulled in 286.79 million hours viewed. Within 10 days, the show's fourth season had moved to the #3 spot on Netflix's list of most-watched English-language series with 621.80 million hours viewed. It has been on Netflix's global top 10 list since its release, and 17 days after its premiere, Stranger Things 4 had been viewed for a total of 781.04 million hours. Keeping in mind that the total runtime of Vol. 1 is 539 minutes, that's a lot of hours in less than a month, making the series climb the charts really quickly.

Stranger Things 4 has toppled the leader and is now in the top spot less than a month after it premiered. Netflix typically measures a show's viewership for the first 28 days to ensure its position on the all-time list, and Stranger Things 4 still has a few days to go. Perhaps the number will rise even further in the coming week.
