Netflix's most-watched English-language series has taken a surprising leap to the ninth spot with its latest release. Stranger Things Season 5 boasts an impressive 105.7 million views so far, making it one of the platform's most popular titles.
This milestone marks a significant achievement for the sci-fi series, which initially debuted on November 26th and continues to garner attention even as its finale has concluded. The series' impressive opening, with 59.6 million viewers in its first week, helped propel it to this new ranking.
With its current spot at No. 9, Stranger Things Season 5 surpassed Season 1 of "The Night Agent" and knocked off "Fool Me Once." However, the show still lags behind its predecessor, Season 4, which occupies the third spot with over 140 million views. The latter remains the most-watched English-language title on Netflix to date.
As the series continues to climb higher in popularity, it's increasingly likely that Stranger Things will reach No. 1 on the platform's charts. With a viewership of this magnitude, it could potentially become one of the most popular shows in Netflix history.
In terms of weekly numbers, the season averaged around 31.5 million views during its release period, with some episodes reaching as high as 7.6 million viewers. Meanwhile, other titles on the platform fared less well, such as "Man vs. Baby" which came in at No. 9 with 4 million views.
The Netflix Top 10 for December 29th to January 4th features a diverse range of shows and movies, including Harlan Coben's "Run Away," Ricky Gervais' special "Mortality," and the final episode of Stranger Things Season 5.

I'm not surprised by this at all! Stranger Things has been building up its fanbase for years now 
. The show just knows how to keep you hooked, with those nostalgic vibes and epic plot twists 
. And can we talk about the fashion game? Those kids' outfits are on point 
. It's gonna be tough for it to drop out of the top 10 anytime soon! 
But hey, good job to all the creators behind "The Night Agent" – Season 1 was a solid show too 
. Still, I'm excited to see how the competition unfolds in the new year 
. Bring on more Stranger Things content, and maybe we'll finally get our hands on some more Hawkins-approved merch 
!
I think that's a testament to the show's creators doing something right - crafting a story that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats and wanting more. And with Season 4 still holding strong at No.3, I'd say Stranger Things is definitely in contention for the top spot 
Like "Man vs. Baby", which is a total mystery why it didn't do better 
Ah well, maybe Stranger Things will keep them company at No. 9?
, bringing back memories of our childhoods (or at least trying to). Anyway, it's awesome to see how well it's doing! Maybe they'll finally answer the question we've all been wondering... what's up with Eleven's hair? 
The show's nostalgic vibe and lovable characters are just the perfect recipe for binge-watching fun 
. And 105.7 million views so far? That's insane! 
It's just not fair to the actual content creators who are putting in real effort.
It's getting old watching the same show being talked about every week...
It's interesting to see how it's surpassed some other popular shows on Netflix, but still hasn't quite reached the top spot like its previous season did. Fingers crossed that this next season will keep up the momentum! 
. It's insane how well they've executed their formula – nostalgia, sci-fi, and heart 
. And can we talk about the cast? Those kids have grown so much since the first season 
I mean, I'm happy for the show, but it's crazy that people are still binge-watching it even after the finale! Like, we're living in a world where you can watch an entire season in one weekend and still have time to scroll through Twitter? 
. I'm low-key excited for season 6 already 
. And, tbh, it's kinda sad that "Man vs. Baby" didn't do as well 
. Guess you could say Stranger Things is the real MVP 
. Maybe it's time to start thinking about what will replace these shows at No. 1? Is Season 5 living up to its hype? 
. First it's Stranger Things getting all the views, now it's just more proof that nothing good ever happens, right? 
still can't believe how low its season 1 was compared to now 
anyway back to it i think stranger things has such a dedicated fanbase and now it's getting the recognition it deserves on netflix no matter what ranking it hits, it's still gonna be one of the best shows out there
