“This illustrates that originals are resonating with consumers and finding value with binge viewing,” Patterson said. “As content breadth and quality improve and drive more engagement, we see further pricing upside.”

The original Netflix series was created by brothers Matt and Ross Duffer. The show revolves around four male friends who enjoy playing Dungeons and Dragons, a fantasy role-playing game. However, when they encounter a girl with telekinetic powers and an alternate dimension with horrifying monsters, their lives changed.
