Netflix streaming service was unavailable for a brief period early Friday after the highly anticipated release of the final two episodes of 'Stranger Things 4'.
According to the global uptime-monitoring site Downdetector.com, user reports of problems with Netflix spiked around 3 a.m. ET — when “Stranger Things 4” Volume 2 went live.
The complaints about errors with Netflix peaked at nearly 13,000 at the top of the hour.
“Stranger Things 4” already has set the record as the No. 1 English-language series on the service in its first four weeks of release, based on the total hours watched.
The two episodes in Season 4 Volume 2 clock in at nearly four hours of runtime total: Episode 8 is 85 minutes and Episode 9 is 150 minutes.
Other streaming services have struggled to stay up during extremely high demand.
“Stranger Things” is created, written and executive produced by Matt and Ross Duffer, aka the Duffer Brothers.
The supernatural horror-thriller has an ensemble cast featuring Winona Ryder (Joyce Byers), David Harbour (Jim Hopper), Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas Sinclair), Noah Schnapp (Will Byers), Sadie Sink (Max Mayfield), Natalia Dyer (Nancy Wheeler), Charlie Heaton (Jonathan Byers), Joe Keery (Steve Harrington), Maya Hawke (Robin Buckley), Priah Ferguson (Erica Sinclair), Brett Gelman (Murray), Cara Buono (Karen Wheeler) and Matthew Modine (Dr. Brenner).
