OTT fans have found a strong community on Twitter. They come together on the service in search of their next binge, live Tweet their thoughts while watching it, and talk about the most awaited seasons. That is why, when season four of Stranger Things (@Stranger_Things) premiered on 27 May 2022, nearly three years after Season 3, fans on the service couldn’t keep calm. Between 27 May - 31 May 2022, there were over 7 million Tweets about the show’s latest season -- resulting in a 17% increase in conversations about Season 4 premiere day (May 27, 2022) compared to Season 3 premiere day (July 4, 2019).
With fans gushing over their favourite characters, Eddie Munson, played by #JosephQuinn, emerged as the most Tweeted about new character this season, and Argyle, played by #EduardoFranco, was a close second.
Sadie Sink's (@SadieSink) exceptional performance as Max had critics and fans raving, they spotlighted her as the rising star in Twitter conversations. Her character was Tweeted about over 221K times since the Season 4 premiere – making up 61% of the 2022 conversations about her on Twitter. [Spoiler alert] “Running Up That Hill”, the song that breaks Sadie out of her slumber in the season, also had fans singing along. Tweets about the song and its singer Kate Bush (@KateBushMusic) went up to 126K after the season premiere.
