Odds via Polymarket as of Nov. 26
Stranger Things is a giant for Netflix. It’s one of the three most important shows in Netflix history. The sci-fi adventure series is also one of its most popular original series.
Stranger Things Season 5 is going to immediately jump to No. 1 on the most-watched English-language shows of the week. Every Tuesday at 3 p.m. ET, Netflix releases viewership from the previous week. For example, it’s almost a guarantee that on December 2, Stranger Things Season 5 will be the No. 1 show of the past week.
The question: How many consecutive weeks can Season 5 occupy the No. 1 spot?
According to Polymarket odds, three weeks (+170) has the lowest odds on the chart. Two weeks (+317) has the second-lowest odds.
Remember that Stranger Things Season 5 will return on December 25 with three new episodes, followed by the finale on December 31. If Season 5 can occupy the No. 1 spot from now until Christmas, then it will certainly continue that streak into the new year.
This past week, all four seasons of Stranger Things appeared in the top 10. This marks the first time in history that four seasons of a Netflix original occupied spots in the top 10 at the same time.
Stranger Things Season 4 is currently the third-most popular English-language show ever. The odds of Season 5 surpassing it are very high.
Stranger Things Season 5 Preview
After a three-year hiatus, Stranger Things returns on November 26 for the fifth and final season. It will be split into three parts: Volume 1 (episodes 1-4) on November 26, Volume 2 (episodes 5-7) on December 25, and the finale on December 31.
Season 5 picks up roughly 18 months after the Upside Down invaded Hawkins in the Season 4 finale. Hawkins is now on military lockdown, and Eleven must go into hiding.
However, Eleven and the rest of the crew know exactly who’s coming: Vecna. It’s only a matter of time before our heroes must make one final stand against Vecna and the Upside Down.
Season 5’s large ensemble includes Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Brett Gelman, Priah Ferguson, Jamie Campbell Bower, Cara Buono, Amybeth McNulty, Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly, Alex Breaux, and Linda Hamilton.
