'Stranger Things' Season 3<br />Breaks Netflix Record Within the first month after the third season dropped on July 4, views were counted <br />in over 60 million households. This breaks the record for most views <br />of an original series on the platform. Netflix counts a view <br />when at least 70 percent <br />of an episode is watched. Globally, nearly 41 million accounts watched parts of the eight-episode season in <br />less than a week. Nearly half of them, around 18 million, wrapped up the whole season <br />in just a few days. Figures from Nielsen add that <br />compared to season 2, this season<br />did much better in the U.S. In season 3's first four days, the data firm says there was a 21 percent viewing jump. With numbers like this, its no surprise that <br />'Stranger Things' is already confirmed for a fourth season. A release date for season 4 <br />has not yet been announced.
