Subscribers flipped Netflixupside downon Friday morning, upon the release of volume 2 ofStranger Things’s fourth season.
According to reports from global uptime-monitoring siteDowndetector, the streaming platform crashed when viewers tuned in to watch the final two episodes of the season when they hit Netflix at 3 a.m ET., with over 14,000 users issuing complaints.
Representatives from Netflix did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment, but Twitter was full of eager viewers questioning when the streaming platform would be up and running again.
“Not me complaining that Netflix crashed when I literally used to have to wait for Netflix to ship DVDs to my house,” one Twitter user wrote. “WHO HAVE I BECOME#StrangerThings.”
Another shared a photo of show villain Vecna drinking a coffee on set. “Me waiting foNetflix to start working again since it crashed so I can see volume 2,” they joked.
Though just two episodes, volume 2 clocks in around four hours long.
Schnapp teased the final episodes in an Instagram Story Friday morning. “HappyStranger Thingsfinale,” he wrote on a photo of himself crying.
Since the start of season 4, fans have been concerned about the possible character deaths. Volume 2 promises to be more catastrophic, and co-creator Ross Duffer already teased that no one is safe.
“I don’t really want to say, but I would be concerned about the characters going into volume 2, for sure,” Duffer toldVariety. “I hope that that is sort of the sense, because it is a darker season and the kids are no longer kids. And there’s sort of an ominous feeling that things might not go well. Now, whether they do or not, you’ll have to watch.”
One fan-favorite character that viewers hope to see survive is Steve Harrington (Joe Keery.) Even Netflix got in on subscriber pleas to spare him with theirlatest billboard.
Stranger Things4 is now-streaming in its entirety on Netflix. A fifth and final season is coming, though no release date has been announced.
