“Wednesday” has been renewed for a 2nd season, and given the record-breaking viewing figures of the series about the adventures of the daughter of Morticia and Gomez Addams in “Nevermore” on Netflix, this seems to be quite expected news.
The first season of “Wednesday”, consisting of 8 episodes, debuted on the streaming service on November 23, and already a week later it set a new Netflix record for the number of views of an English-language series in the first 7 days (more than 341 million hours). The show has since become the platform’s second-most-watched English-language series with more than 1.2 billion hours watched in its first 28 days, surpassing “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” (856.2 million hours) but falling short of Season 4’s tally.” Very strange things” (1.3 billion hours of viewing).
However, the top three are well behind the most popular Netflix show of all time, the Korean series “Squid Game”, which holds the record of 1.6 billion hours watched in the first 28 days.
In the video announcement, Jenna Ortega as Wednesday recalls the events of the previous season and even shows the viewer her rare smile as a thank you for the huge attention to the series.

“I’ve been hunted, haunted and teased a million times on the internet over the past few weeks. It was real torture. Thank you,” says the main character’s voice over the screen.
The announcement follows Lady Gaga’s “Bloody Mary,” which became the unofficial soundtrack to the show’s first season after Wednesday’s dance went viral on TikTok.
“More suffering lies ahead. The world sensation will return for the second season,” the announcement says.
In the first season of the comedy-horror series, Wednesday goes to the Nevermore Academy, where the so-called outcasts, that is, vampires, werewolves, sirens and other representatives of the supernatural contingent, study. The main character tries to master her powers of predictions, as well as investigate a series of mysterious murders.
