Since its premiere on November 16, nearly 115M households globally have seen the series (752.25M hours viewed divided by 6.8 hours).

Wednesday has also reached #1 in 89 countries.

Netflix has yet to officially pick up a second season of Wednesday, but these numbers are excellent.

It will likely be around for several years, or however as long as the creatives want it to run.

From the imagination of Tim Burton, Wednesday is a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy. 

The Mother and Father Gallery

“She attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the murder mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore,” the logline reads.

Ortega (Wednesday Addams) leads the cast for the series, which also stars Gwendoline Christie (Principal Larissa Weems), Jamie McShane (Sheriff Galpin), Percy Hynes White (Xavier Thorpe), Hunter Doohan (Tyler Galpin), Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair), Joy Sunday (Bianca Barclay), Naomi J Ogawa (Yoko Tanaka), and Moosa Mostafa (Eugene Ottinger).

The Crown Season 5 continued with 27.79M hours viewed.

Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields debuted with 23.88M hours viewed, while Dead to Me Season 3 had 19.54M hours viewed.
