Stranger Things 4 and Obi-Wan Kenobi Now Premiere Same Day
62The streaming wars just got more heated, as Disney+ shifted the premiere of Obi-Wan Kenobi from May 25 to May 27, the same day that Season 4 of Stranger Things debuts on Netflix. By pushing one of its biggest releases to Friday, Disney+ will fight for the same audience as Netflix, which has always prioritized the end of the week for releasing new shows.
Earlier today, Ewan McGregor announced that the premiere of Obi-Wan Kenobi was getting shifted by two days. The announcement also underlined how Obi-Wan Kenobi would premiere with two episodes instead of one, giving fans double the time by the side of the old Jedi Master. So, Star Wars fans will be watching the new show on Friday, May 27, instead of searching for something else to binge on another streaming platform. That could prove a problem for Netflix’s Stranger Things, as the number of viewers a streaming production gets on its premiere is one of the primary metrics used to measure its success.
