"Stranger Things" Season 5 has become Netflix's biggest English-language TV series premiere ever, earning 59.6 million views in its first five days of streaming.

It now ranks as the platform's third-best overall debut, behind "Squid Game" Seasons 2 and 3. The launch marks a huge jump from Season 4's 22 million views over three days—a 171% increase.

All four previous seasons also entered the Netflix Top 10 simultaneously, and five seasons charted together from November 24–30.

Netflix has released four episodes so far, with three more arriving on Christmas Day and the finale on New Year's Eve. Season 5 is now on track to join Season 4 on Netflix's list of all-time most popular English-language shows.
