The series starring Jenna Ortega also set a Netflix record by landing at No. 1 in 91 different countries in its first week.

Per Netflix's own figures, Wednesday season 2 drew 50 million views for the viewing period of August 4 to August 10 (the show released on August 6, so that's across 5 days of streaming). While that's certainly an impressive figure, it's ever so slightly down from season 1, which drew 50.1 million viewers (H/T What's on Netflix ).

Wednesday,” one of Netflix’s biggest hits of all time, returned to the streamer with its second season on Aug. 4 and racked up 50 million views in its first five days of streaming. That puts it right on par with the performance of Season 1 when it premiered in November of 2022.
