Stranger Things 5 Reaches 105.7 Million Views, Sets New Year’s Day Record on Netflix

Netflix's split-window counting plus runtime-based view metric shape the totals, limiting outside verification.

Overview

  • Stranger Things 5 logged 31.5 million views for the week of Dec. 29, leading Netflix’s English TV chart.
  • Netflix lists the season at No. 9 on its Most Popular English TV ranking with 105.7 million cumulative views, calculated under its 91‑day, split‑season method that outside parties cannot fully verify.
  • The finale’s Dec. 31 debut pushed Netflix to its highest New Year’s Day viewership to date, though the streamer did not disclose a standalone finale tally.
  • The two-hour finale drew an estimated $25 million at the box office and over 1.1 million theatrical attendees across about 600 North American cinemas during its limited Dec. 31–Jan. 1 run.
  • All four prior seasons reappeared on the same weekly Top 10, led by Season 1 at No. 3 (7.6M), Season 2 at No. 5 (5.5M), Season 3 at No. 7 (5.0M) and Season 4 at No. 8 (4.8M).
