Stranger Things 4 is Netflix's most popular season of English television ever. As part of Netflix's quarterly financial results, the company revealed that Stranger Things 4 has been watched for over 1.3 billion hours since part one dropped in late May.
The latest season of Netflix's supernatural 1980s romp blew its other shows out of the water in terms of watch time. For comparison, The Umbrella Academy saw 284 million view hours, The Lincoln Lawyer generated 277 million hours, and young adult drama Heartstopped earned 67 million view hours.
Earlier this month, we learned Stranger Things is Netflix's first English language series to pass 1 billion hours of watch time. The only Netflix show with more watch time is Squid Game, which amassed a whopping 1.65 billion hours of viewing time in its first month.
We were fans of Stranger Things 4, awarding Season 4, Part 2 a 9 in our review. The end of the season did leave some openings for the upcoming Stranger Things 5, which you can read about in our piece on five burning questions we have after Stranger Things 4.
The news from Netflix's report today wasn't all positive, however. The company revealed it lost almost one million subscribers over the last quarter, amidst an increased crackdown on password sharing. Netflix also revealed when we can expect its new ad-supported subscription tier, and announced its acquisition of animation studio Animal Logic.
