The second season of the series Wednesday has achieved 50 million views in its first week, ranking first in the top 10 most-watched English series on Netflix. This impressive number is even more remarkable considering that three years have passed since the premiere of the first season, a period that typically results in a loss of interest from the audience. However, Wednesday has not only maintained its viewer base but has also expanded it, reflecting the growing popularity of the title.
Time passes, but Wednesday continues to triumph
The first season has seen a resurgence in its audience, climbing to the second place among the most-watched series with 8.6 million views in just six days, thanks to the spillover effect of the second season. Currently, Wednesday is in first place in 91 countries, demonstrating its global appeal. These figures could change again with the upcoming release of the remaining four episodes of this season.
Aware of the phenomenon they have on their hands, Netflix renewed Wednesday for a third season even before the premiere of the second. The creators, Al Gough and Miles Millar, have announced their intention to enrich the universe of the series by including more members of the Addams family in future plots. Gough commented: Our goal for season 3 is the same as for all: to make the best possible season of Wednesday.
The second part of season 2 of Wednesday will premiere on Netflix on September 3, raising expectations about how the story will unfold and whether it will manage to retain the audience’s attention. With the numbers it has reached so far, the prospects seem promising.
