<div><span style="font-size: 1rem;">''Stranger Things'' Season 4 is now Netflix's 2nd title ever to rack up over one billion hours viewed.</span><br></div><div><br></div><div>This milestone comes after the July 1 debut of the season’s second volume, consisting of two episodes that run for approximately four hours. The new episodes brought Season 4 up to 1.15 billion hours viewed in total since Volume 1 premiered on May 27.</div><div><br></div><div>The first Netflix series to cross the 1 billion mark was the South Korean drama “Squid Game,” which debuted in September 2021. “Squid Game” remains Netflix’s most popular TV title ever with 1.65 billion hours viewed — which the streamer calculates during each title’s first 28 days of availability, after which viewership is no longer counted. “Stranger Things” Season 4 is Netflix’s most popular English-language series ever and second most popular overall. And technically, it still has a chance to beat “Squid Game.” Because of the season’s segmented release, viewership of Volume 2 during the 28 days after July 1 will contribute to the popularity tally, though viewership of Volume 1 is already done being counted.</div><div><br></div><div>Season 4 was viewed for 301.3 million hours during the June 27-July 3 viewing window, during which Volume 2 was only available for three days. This has been the season’s second most successful week following the May 30-June 5 viewing window, Volume 1’s first full week of availability, which brought in 335 million hours viewed. Unsurprisingly, the season is back in the No. 1 position on the Netflix Top 10 chart, where it has resided almost every week since the premiere of Volume 1. The only exception was last week, the June 20-26 viewing window, during which the remarkable June 22 premiere of “The Umbrella Academy” Season 3 took first place. In the No. 2 position this week, “The Umbrella Academy” is continuing to perform. Season 3 was viewed for 88 million hours during between June 27 and July 3, its first full week of availability.</div><div><br></div><div>Both “The Umbrella Academy” and “Stranger Things” dominate the rest of the chart. As fans rewatch both series, all previous seasons appear in the Top 10. This has been a trend for “Stranger Things” since Season 4 debuted, and this week Season 1 landed at No. 3 with 34.5 million hours viewed while Season 3 took fifth place (30.3 million) and Season 2 took sixth (30.3 million). “The Umbrella Academy” Season 1 took this week’s No. 4 position with 32.8 million hours viewed after coming in seventh place last week, and Season 2 re-debuted at No. 8 (20.3 million).</div><div><br></div><div>The rest of the June 27-July 3 chart includes “Man Vs. Bee” (25.4 million), “Peaky Blinders” Season 6 (18.4 million) and “Snowflake Mountain” (15 million).</div><div><br></div><div>See Netflix’s Top 10 lists for the week of June 27-July 3 below, beginning with English-language series and followed by non-English-language TV shows, English-language movies and then non-English-language movies. -variety</div><div><br></div><div>bnbd24/TR</div>
