Stranger Things is now the United States’ most in-demand show thanks to its second season.
The latest set of episodes was made available to binge on Netflix a couple of weeks ago, with the sci-fi tale engrossing audiences across the country once again.
And according to media-analytics firm Parrot Analytics, the series is now America’s number one in-demand show. Stranger Things registered 69.9 million average ‘demand expressions’ (indicating intent to view or actual viewing) during the week of Oct. 29-Nov. 4.
This score for Stranger Things was up 60% from the week before and pushed the series above all the other shows on Parrot Analytics’ rankings.
Second place fell to Game of Thrones (54 million demand expressions), The Walking Dead picked up third position (53.5 million), followed by Star Trek: Discovery (52.4 million), Preacher (40.6 million), Mindhunter (26.1 million) and Rick and Morty (23.3 million).
Nielsen data has reported that each of Stranger Things‘ season 2 episodes drew in more than 4 million viewers in the first three days, with the first episode scoring a massive 15.8 million.
Netflix has called Nielsen’s figures way off the mark.
