Stranger Things Season 5 premiere brings major TV debut success for Netflix

For any TV show, commercial success plays a vital role in making sure the TV show is able to bring forth quality content continuously. Right from the very beginning of this series, it has continuously grown in its success over the years. The plotline, along with the visuals, developed intensely throughout each season. Now, with Stranger Things Season 5, the series is truly taking the stakes higher with intrinsic visuals.

It was bound to get high viewership. 59.6 million views within the first five days of its release is a massive feat in itself. These numbers definitely denote that Stranger Things is here to stay. The long wait between seasons often becomes the cause for the reduction in the number of viewers. Yet, Stranger Things Season 5 seems to have gained more fans waiting for the upcoming season.

The comparision in the numbers with the fourth season of the series, there is a massive 171% increase in the viewership count. In Season 4, the ranking was measured from a different perspective. Instead of views, the series counted a total of 287 million hours watched within the first three days, which corresponds to about 22 million views.

The viewership of Stranger Things Season 5 has already received the best premiere week viewership in the category of English-language Netflix shows. It is definitely quite a great achievement. Right from the end of the fourth season of the series, the anticipation has been at an all-time high for the fifth season of the series.

In the fifth season of Stranger Things, the focus is mainly on Holly’s disappearance and the team’s strive to make things right. Each and every character is going through a difficult situation all over again. There is hardly any humorous moment. The distinct focus on the grim situation that the team is now facing creates a huge impact on the viewers. The first part of Stranger Things Season 5 ends with Will getting his powers.

From the beginning of the series, Will remained a timid character. He was scared because of the incidents that he went through. He was not able to cope with the experiences he faced. This made him feel different from others. He could not find his place. It further caused him to become an easy target of the evil powers. This time, Will is capable of bringing down the evil forces with his powers. So it would definitely be interesting to see how the story unfolds in the upcoming parts of season 5.

The next part of Stranger Things Season 5 is all set to drop this December on Christmas. Three episodes will be dropping as part of the second installment of season 5. The final episode of this season will drop on December 31 at 5 PM PST.
