We know what you were doing this 4th of July weekend…
You, and 40 million other people, were binge-watching Stranger Things!
That’s according to Netflix, which has released its viewership figures for the third season of the sci-fi series about a bunch of kids who ultimately save the world(s).
The streaming service does not typically divulge its viewing numbers, but makes exceptions when shows perform particularly well and, in cases such as this, break records.
Netflix claims that season 3 of the Duffers’ show broke the record for four-day viewership thanks to 40.7 million household accounts tuning in. An account is considered to have watched a show if it completed at least 70% of one episode or movie.
Of that Demogorgon-sized figure, 44% — 18.2 million people — have already watched all eight episodes (and are likely already waiting for season 4).
Put that in your USS Butterscotch Sundae!
