Stranger Things Dominates Netflix Amidst Holiday Cheer
2 Dec
Summary
- Stranger Things' final season premiere broke Netflix viewing records.
- Two new Christmas movies, Jingle Bell Heist and Champagne Problems, charted.
- Kpop Demon Hunters achieved a record 24 weeks on Netflix Top 10.
- Animated feature In Your Dreams also garnered strong viewership.
The streaming giant Netflix saw a dramatic surge in viewership last week, largely dominated by the highly anticipated return of Stranger Things. The initial release of four episodes from its final season on November 26th garnered a staggering 59.6 million views, an all-time record. This surge also saw all four previous seasons of the supernatural drama re-enter the English-language Top 10 charts.
Competing for attention during the holiday season, two new Netflix original Christmas films made a strong showing. Jingle Bell Heist, starring Olivia Holt and Connor Swindells, captured the number one position with 19.3 million views, followed closely by the Minka Kelly-led Champagne Problems, which secured second place with 14.4 million views.
Further diversifying the platform's popular content, the film Kpop Demon Hunters continued its remarkable endurance. More than five months after its premiere, it ranked as the third most-watched English film and fourth overall on Netflix with an additional 10.4 million views. This consistent performance has now made it the longest-charting film in Netflix history.
