In just the initial half of 'Wednesday', the second season, ratings have already attained levels equal to those observed in the first season.
The second instalment of the hit Netflix series "Wednesday" is set to premiere on September 3, 2025, and industry analysts predict a "viewership surge" for Part 2. This surge could potentially push the season's total viewership beyond the historic 252.1-million-view mark set by Season 1, driven partly by Lady Gaga’s star power, new plot developments, and strong audience engagement to date.
The first part of Season 2, which premiered on August 6, 2025, garnered 50 million views initially, followed by 29.1 million views in its second week, representing a 42% drop but still making it Netflix’s most-watched title during that period. The entire Season 2 consists of 8 episodes split into two parts of 4 episodes each.
The success of "Wednesday" is not surprising, given that it is one of Netflix's female-led franchises and the streaming giant's reputation for knowing its audience and giving creatives freedom to push storytelling boundaries. The show, which premiered on August 4, 2022, has been praised for its unique blend of horror, comedy, and drama, and for its engaging characters, particularly Jenna Ortega's portrayal of Wednesday.
The second season introduced more Addams family members and outcasts, promising a richer and more immersive viewing experience. The season's shocking cliffhanger in Part 1 has left fans eagerly anticipating the continuation of the story.
In addition to the ongoing story arcs, Lady Gaga's mysterious role in Part 2 has added to the excitement. The pop superstar's contribution to the soundtrack of Season 2 could also contribute to its success.
In summary, Wednesday Season 2 Part 2 is expected to increase overall season viewership substantially, with potential to approach or surpass Season 1’s total views, thanks to ongoing fan enthusiasm and Lady Gaga’s influence. Fans of the show and Lady Gaga's music should not miss the highly anticipated second part of the season.
For those who missed the first part of Season 2, the first four episodes are available on Netflix now. Information about the latest releases of Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, DC Universe, and Doctor Who can be found on io9.
