Stranger Things season 3 trailer now Netflix’s most-watched YouTube video ever

Just last week, Netflix dropped the trailer for the third season of Stranger Things, due out on July 4. Immediately, people freaked out and the trailer promptly went viral. As of this writing, it’s climbing towards 22 million views on YouTube, best Netflix’s next most popular video (the trailer for Stranger Things season 2) by a couple million views and counting.

Netflix has been making original content for a good long while now, but nothing’s it’s made has been as consistently buzzy as Stranger Things. It’s easily the biggest show Netflix has at the moment, and the one that can at least try to go head to head with tentpole shows at other networks, like Game of Thrones at HBO. And to think it all started with a show without much hype behind it that got popular through word of mouth. That’s the stuff.
