Stranger Things’ upcoming season is clearly what the viewers have been keen to watch. Thousands of Netflix users in the US have been facing streaming outages today.
Netflix has been facing massive outage in the United States since November 26. Reason? Over 14,000 users had reported issues that they faced in accessing the streaming service. The problem started just before the release of the much-anticipated and final season of the popular series Stranger Things. This has made many to wonder if there could be a connection between the increase in viewership and the platform’s technical issues. Several social media users have been quick to react to the crash. This has further led to massive frustration among the viewers who need immediate reaction.

Stranger Things season 5 was set for release at 6:30 AM on Thursday, November 27, in India, with the next episodes scheduled for Christmas and New Year’s Eve. The excitement and anticipation for the final season contributed to heavier-than-usual traffic on the streaming platform, with fans sharing GIFs and personal reactions to the technical issues. This is not the first time Stranger Things has strained the platform. In July 2022, when the final two episodes of Season 4 dropped, Netflix went down for a short period of time.
