New Netflix King: ST5 Dethroned After Record Debut

Stranger Things returns with the second volume of its final season in just a few days. Excitement remains high, but viewers now see a surprising shift in Netflix rankings as the show drops from its No. 1 position in the U.S.

The series’ latest season launched with huge anticipation. Its release briefly crashed Netflix and raced to the top of the charts. The first four episodes arrived on November 26, 2025 and gathered 59.6 million views within five days, marking the platform’s second-highest debut week.

Fans expected Stranger Things to hold its lead for months, yet it slipped to No. 2 within a week. Its ranking moved down as Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ docuseries surged to the top amid heavy discussion and backlash.

The docuseries, produced by 50 Cent, drew attention after claims that its footage was never meant for public release. A spokesperson told CNN that the content came from a personal project, which only pushed curiosity further and boosted its reach.
