However, it seems many have yet to work their way through the whole of the nine episode series, as it is averaging a much smaller audience of 4 million viewers per episode.
The company told Deadline a 'significant viewing event occurred' when the popular Netflix show finally became available for streaming on October 27.
The show picks up a year after Wills disappearance, with the Dungeons And Dragons loving gang of boys eventually reuniting with their psychic pal Eleven, who mysteriously vanished at the end of the previous season.
In the first three days the season debut averaged 15.8 million viewers in the US watching on television, with nearly 11 million in the 18-49 demographic.
As if that was not enough, 361,000 are estimated to have made their way through all nine episodes in the first day.
