‘Stranger Things 5’ Volume 2 Ratings: 34.5 Million Netflix Views

Netflix has announced that it achieved its highest Christmas Day viewership ever this year, with the release of the second volume of “Stranger Things” being the main driving force behind this success. While the exact number of viewers on December 25th was not disclosed, it is clear that “Stranger Things” Season 5 was the most-watched title of the day globally, thanks to the debut of three new episodes.

During the week of December 22-28, the total viewership for Season 5 reached 34.5 million views, making it the second-highest weekly total for the season after its initial debut in November with 59.6 million views. This impressive performance solidified Season 5 as one of Netflix’s most popular English-language titles of all time.

It is worth noting that Netflix does not separate viewership for each volume of “Stranger Things” when reporting its Top 10 rankings. Therefore, it is unclear whether Volume 1 or Volume 2 had a bigger debut, but both have garnered significant attention from viewers.

In a surprising move, Netflix will be premiering the series finale of “Stranger Things” Season 5 in movie theaters on New Year’s Eve, along with a simultaneous release on the streaming platform. This innovative approach is expected to further boost the show’s viewership numbers and solidify its position as a fan favorite.

As the season’s finale premieres on December 31st, “Stranger Things” Season 5 will become eligible for Netflix’s list of the most popular English-language TV titles of all time. The 91-day period following the finale will allow the show to accumulate viewership numbers that contribute to this prestigious chart.

In addition to “Stranger Things,” other notable titles on Netflix’s Top 10 list for the week of December 22-28 included “The Great Flood” as the top non-English-language film, and “Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch” leading the English-language movies chart. “Emily in Paris,” “The Unstoppable…,” and “Man Vs. Baby” also ranked high on the English-language TV chart.

Overall, “Stranger Things” continues to captivate audiences and dominate the streaming landscape, with its latest season making a significant impact on Netflix’s viewership metrics. With the upcoming finale and continued success, the show is poised to become a timeless classic in the realm of English-language television.
