Stranger Things  Season 4 Volume 1 has now broken a Netflix record. With its rising viewership stats, this season of Stranger Things has broken the record for biggest-ever premiere weekend of an English-language series.

The record was previously held by Bridgerton Season 2. The show was watched by 193 million viewers in its first week of release.
