Netflix’s Top Show Sets Record with 1.7 Billion Hours Viewed, Season 2 Anticipated to be Even Larger

Netflix has done it again with the return of their most-watched series, Wednesday, for its highly anticipated season 2. The first four episodes are out now, with the rest dropping on September 3.

Let’s talk numbers – season one of Wednesday racked up a whopping 1.7 billion streaming hours, attracting around 252 million viewers. Those are some mind-boggling stats that speak volumes about the popularity of the show and Netflix’s dominance in the streaming world.

For those unfamiliar, Wednesday is a spin-off from The Addams Family, created by Charles Addams and immortalized by Tim Burton’s iconic film adaptation. The series follows Wednesday Addams, portrayed by Jenna Ortega, as she navigates the mysterious world of Nevermore Academy while uncovering dark secrets.

What sets Wednesday apart is its unique blend of classic Addams charm with Burton’s signature gothic flair, all sprinkled with a touch of humor. It’s not your typical horror show like Stranger Things, but it’s definitely a macabre delight for fans of the genre.

Even though Stranger Things still holds the record for the most watched show on Netflix with 1.8 billion hours, Wednesday is making a serious mark. Critics have had mixed reviews, but fans are all in, giving the show high ratings for Ortega’s portrayal of Wednesday and the seamless incorporation of quirky elements like Thing, the spirited hand.

So, if you haven’t dived into Wednesday yet, you’re missing out on a cult favorite. Season 2 is already making waves, and it’s shaping up to be even bigger and better than before. With Burton’s magic touch and the captivating storyline, it’s no wonder Wednesday is currently Netflix’s top show. So grab your popcorn, settle in, and get ready for a spooky adventure.
