If we knew that season 4 of

Stranger Things

was a real hit, here is data that confirms it: it becomes the second series to exceed one billion hours of viewing.

A feat achieved only a few days after the last two episodes of the fourth season were put online on July 1, while the first episodes were unveiled on May 27.

A two-part release that allows

Stranger Things

to remain in first place in the Top 10 Netflix series for more than a month, with the exception of the week of June 20 to 26 when the third season of

Umbrella Academy

him had gone ahead.

Nevertheless, you are probably wondering what is the other series to have exceeded one billion hours of views on Netflix.

You guessed ?

Without much suspense, it is obviously

Squid Game

, the cataclysm of last year which remains by far the most popular series ever broadcast by the streaming giant with 1.65 billion hours of viewing.

But beware, as Variety

rightly points out

, these hours are only counted for a period of 28 days after the content is put online.

Which means that the fourth season of

Stranger Things

has until July 29 to break the

Squid Game

record , although the two series did not enjoy the same release conditions.
