Netflix viewership numbers tend to always come direct from Netflix, leading many to question their validity, but in any event it’s worth noting that the streaming service announced over on Twitter last night that the third season of “Stranger Things” – widely considered to be the show’s *best* to date – is currently breaking even their most impressive records!

Netflix tweeted last night….

“40.7 million household accounts have been watching the show since its July 4 global launch — more than any other film or series in its first four days.”

What they mean there is that 40.7 million accounts have watched some portion of the season, while also adding that “18.2 million have already finished the entire season.”

In other words, the show is bigger (and better) than ever, and we’re definitely getting a fourth season. Here’s hoping we’re reporting more on that real soon!

The Wattpad/Webtoons and Grave Weaver-created series “I’m the Grim Reaper” is nearing its 200th episode, and it’s also getting a new TV series adaptation with talented names behind it. Deadline reports that celebrated filmmaker Sam Raimi is teaming up with 10 Cloverfield Lane scribes Josh Campbell & Matt Stuecken on the new series.

The series follows “Scarlet, a young woman who wakes up in the ninth circle of hell with no idea how she got there. Satan offers to send Scarlet back to Earth if she’ll work as his reaper. But it doesn’t take long for Scarlet to realize that Satan’s offer is even worse than she feared.”

The story is said to fit perfectly into “Raimi’s wheelhouse, striking a deft balance between scares, gore and humor.”

Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi will executive produce the series with Weaver, who’ll also team on the development process. Raimi may be most known for his Spider-Man and Evil Dead movies, but the filmmaker has been busy behind the scenes producing. More recently, Raimi produced this week’s action brawler Boy Kills World and last year’s 65, with Don’t Move on the way.

The “I’m the Grim Reaper” webtoon launched in 2019, delving into the humor and horrors of reaping souls in Hell. That it’s on the cusp of airing its 200th episode means no shortage of story and mythology for Campbell and Stuecken to pull from.

Stay tuned for additional details on this new series as they arrive.
