Stranger Things Season 4 should never be underestimated as it now joins the Netflix Billionaire Club for being the first English-language show to have 1.15 billion hours of viewing time worldwide.
The recent season follows Eleven and the gang as they separately fight the vicious Vecna, a mysterious creature from the Upside Down who has plans to bring widespread danger.
It stars Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Gaten Matarazzo, Winona Ryder and more.
“#StrangerThings is also the second show to ever pass this milestone, following #Squidgame,” The Hollywood Reporter wrote in a tweet.

Having 1.15 billion hours of viewing time for Stranger Things in its first 28 days availability is indeed a milestone, but Korean-language series “Squid Game” remained in the first spot with a total of 1.65 billion hours of viewing time in its four weeks of viewing.
