‘Stranger Things 5’ Beats Diddy Doc as Top Netflix Show With 23.6 Million Views

“Stranger Things” Season 5 held strong in its second week on Netflix with 23.6 million views to top Netflix’s TV list, but the streamer’s much-discussed Diddy docuseries was closely behind the cultural phenomenon.

After debuting to 59.6 million views in its first five days on Netflix — the biggest premiere week for an English language show in the history of the streamer — “Stranger Things” Season 5 tallied up 23.6 million views in its second week and full seven-day interval during the week of Dec. 1.

The buzzy “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” the four-episode docuseries produced by 50 Cent, meanwhile, scored 21.8 million views in its first week on the streamer.

Like last week, the debut of Season 5 boosted all past seasons of “Stranger Things” into the top 10 list, and in fact, views for the first four seasons were up week-over-week to total 26.2 million views, up slightly from last week’s viewership of 25.2 million views. This week, Season 1 came in as the No. 3 most-watched TV show of the week 8.2 million views while Season 2 came in at No. 5 with 6.8 million views, Season 3 came in at No. 6 with 5.9 million views and Season 4 came in at No. 7 with 5.3 million views.

Of course, the show has two more drops for fans to look forward to, with Volume 2 set to premiere Christmas Day and the two-hour series finale dropping on New Year’s Eve.

In between the “Stranger Things” seasons on the TV list was “The Abandons,” which snuck into the No. 4 spot with 7.3 million views, as well as “The Rats: A Witcher Tale,” “The Beast in Me” and “Matt Rife: Unwrapped – A Christmas Crowd Work Special,” which landed in the last few spots on the top 10 list.
