Since this new installment of the series was announced, it has been positioned as one of the platform’s great bets.
Netflix has, to date, more than 220 million registered subscribers, despite having lost 200 thousand in past weeks.
Just a week before the premiere of the first part of the new season of Stranger Things, Netflix decided to release eight minutes of the debut chapter.
Stranger Things is, to this day, Netflix’s big bet for this year, which started, as they say, on the wrong foot, losing the amount of 200 thousand users only in the first quarter of the year; however, the number could increase to more than a million, according to platform estimates.
2020, on the contrary, was the most important year for the leading streaming platform, this being the one with the highest growth at a time when the pandemic and global lockdowns were on the rise.
Prior to the boom generated by Squid Game (The Squid Game), which gave Netflix four million new users globally, Stranger Things is, in short, the strong card of the Los Gatos, California platform.
Since the arrival of a new season of the series was confirmed, the topic has been a conversation on social networks, especially since, due to the pandemic, it has been delayed several times.
Now, it is known that this will arrive on May 27, but only a first part; the second half will be released in July of this year, as revealed by the Duffer Brothers themselves, who, as if that were not enough, confirmed that there will be a fifth and final season:
“Stranger Things Season 4 was the most challenging yet, but also the most rewarding. Everyone involved is proud of the result and can’t wait to share it.”
“There are still many more exciting stories to tell within the world of stranger things; New mysteries, new adventures, unexpected new heroes.” mentioned in a statement.
This day, a week after the premiere of its first volume, Netflix decided to release the first eight minutes of the debut of the fourth season, which, according to its creators, will be “the most terrifying” and will even remind Game of Thrones , the most important series for HBO.

streaming in 2022
This year seems to be an interesting one for the streaming market, in which, if the most recent rumors are confirmed, Disney Plus and Netflix will launch their subscription plans with adsushering in a new era in the way of consuming this type of platform.
“Those who have followed Netflix know that I have been against the complexity of advertising and am a big fan of the simplicity of subscription. But as much as I’m a fan of that, I’m more of a fan of consumer choice. And allowing users who would like a lower price and tolerate advertising to get what they want makes a lot of sense.” said Netflix co-CEO Reed Hastings.
For its part, according to what has been reported, Disney Plus would be presenting its subscription with advertising first in the United States and then extending it, already in 2023, in other parts of the world.
