once again, the Grammy Awards on CBS and the Academy Awards on ABC dominated PvNew’s Trending TV chart for the week of April 11 to 17. However, the award shows’ stronghold on the chart dropped significantly as “Stranger Things” debuted with more than 427,000 engagements on Twitter.
Netflix has been dropping teasers for the much-anticipated fourth season of the Duffer brothers’ hit series for months now, but on Tuesday, the show finally released a full-length trailer while also confirming the penultimate season returns for its first half on May 27.

It’s been three years since the third season of “Stranger Things” debuted, so the excitement was palpable as fans dissected the trailer while speculating what’s to come in the Upside Down in these five new episodes. The reveal that the last four episodes of the season won’t be held for long — they’re expected to hit the streaming service on July 1 -- further fueled engagements.

The show generated 100,000 more engagements than “Moon Knight,” which held steady on the chart with a new episode that debuted Wednesday on Disney+. The third ep contained more Easter eggs (including a buzzy nod to MCU supervillain Kang the Conqueror), along with an unexpected twist involving the fate of one character. In total, the series collected more than 275,000 engagements, up slightly from last week’s 220,000 engagements.
