Netflix viewers spent a lot of time with Stranger Things’<\/em> super-sized fourth season over the weekend – a record-setting amount, in fact.<\/p>\n

According to Netflix’s internal measurement, Stranger Things<\/em> racked up 286.79 million hours of viewing time worldwide from May 25-27. That blows past the previous record holder, season two of Bridgerton<\/em>which had 193 million hours of watch time over its opening weekend in March.<\/p>\n

Bridgerton<\/em> went on to claim the title of Netflix’s most watched English-language series of all time over its first 28 days of release, with 656.26 million hours of viewing across the globe. Stranger Things<\/em> season four is already almost 44 percent of the way to that tally after just three days – and with the final two episodes of the season (which clock in at nearly four hours combined) still to be released in July.<\/p>\n

Squid Game<\/em> is the all-time leader among Netflix series in any language with 1.65 billion hours of viewing over its first 28 days of release. Part five of Money Heist<\/em> (792.23 million hours) also slots ahead of Bridgerton<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The heavily anticipated debut of season four – which premiered almost three years after the previous installment – also helped push prior seasons of Stranger Things<\/em> into Netflix’s global and United States top 10. The first three seasons had a combined 84.55 million hours of viewing time from May 21-27, for Netflix.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Kate Bush’s 1985 song \u201cRunning Up That Hill,\u201d which is featured in the season, has hit No. 1 on Apple’s iTunes and No. 2 on Spotify’s US chart since the premiere.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
