Following the resounding success of Ryan Murphy's Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, a new addition has been added to Netflix's list of the most viewed shows. It earned a spot on the coveted list in the early weeks of its Netflix run after becoming the most-watched new series in its debut week. It had the highest opening week for the first season of a show, with a whopping 196.2 million hours of viewing during its first week of release.

Due to the release of new seasons of Ozark, Stranger Things, and Bridgerton, 2022 has seen some significant new entries appear. The fourth season of Stranger Things was published in two parts, the first in May 2022 and the second in July 2022, allowing it more than the typical 28 days to gain viewers. And it undoubtedly had an impact because it quickly rose to the top spot among English-language Netflix series.

Even though Stranger Things has been watched for more than a billion hours, it still couldn't beat Squid Game as the most popular Netflix show ever. The Korean drama about a cruel game is still the most-watched show on the platform, and it will take a lot to beat those huge numbers.

Check out the list of the seasons' most streamed Netflix shows below to see what else came close.
