Netflix announces significant triumph - Netflix announces outstanding triumph
The second season of the popular Netflix series Wednesday has made a stunning debut, breaking records in viewership and global reach.
According to Netflix's data, the series garnered an impressive 50 million views within the first four days of its release on August 6th[1][3][4]. This puts it just slightly below the 50.1 million views of season 1 for the entire season, as reported by the US industry magazine "Variety"[2].
The success of the second season is not limited to its domestic market. It has topped the local charts for English-language series in 91 countries, including Germany and the United States[1][4]. This is a feat no other English-language Netflix series has achieved before.
Despite this impressive start, the pace of season 2 is slower compared to season 1, partly because season 2 was released in two parts (two four-episode drops), while season 1 dropped all eight episodes at once. This staggered release affects cumulative viewership growth, with the full impact expected after the release of part 2 on September 3rd[2][3][4].
In its second week, season 2 maintained strong viewership with 29.1 million views, although this represented a 42% decline from the first week’s huge debut[2][5]. Nevertheless, season 2 remains Netflix’s second-biggest English-language TV series debut ever, and it is currently the No. 1 English-language TV title in 91 countries[1][3][4].
The series stars Jenna Ortega, who reprises her role as Wednesday Addams, a character she first played in the first season. Ortega is 22 years old and has been praised for her performance[6].
The first season of Wednesday was a massive success for Netflix in 2022, ranking number one on Netflix's all-time charts for most-streamed English-language series[1][7]. As more viewers tune in for the remaining episodes of season 2, the numbers are likely to surge again.
The international Netflix series charts placed the first season of Wednesday second last week, with global 8.6 million views[8]. With the second season's impressive performance, it's clear that Wednesday continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
