With fans binge-watching at lightning speed and social media ablaze with theories, this season’s dominance is undeniable.

👇 See the record-breaking stats and what’s next for the show…

Wednesday season 2 has set an outstanding record just one week after its debut. Wednesday season 2, part 1, is streaming on Netflix, receiving a positive reception and mass viewership worldwide. Season 2 currently holds an 82% score from critics and a 79% score from audiences.

Wednesday season 2, part 1, has set the record for being an English language title ranked #1 in the most countries (91) in its first week. It currently has 50 million views and 201 million hours viewed in just one week. This puts it 43 million views ahead of the next show (excluding Wednesday season 1), which is the new series Untamed.

What Wednesday Season 2’s New Record Means

Wednesday Season 2 Is A Global Phenomenon

It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that Wednesday season 2 is an instant mega hit. The first season is the most-streamed show in Netflix history, and that’s saying something. Netflix has developed a reputation for being the streaming service that develops shows that become instant, overnight cultural phenomena.

Just like Stranger Things or Bridgerton, Wednesday’s 2022 debut benefited from widespread social media word-of-mouth. Despite nearly three years between seasons, season 2 has had the same effect. The season’s first week of viewership has already reached 20% of season 1’s, and this is only the first half.

While dedicated fans will be watching part 1 to remain caught up, it’s worth noting that this is the streaming platform known for binge releases. The viewership will likely surge even further once part 2 hits the service in September, as many audiences will want to wait until the season is out in its entirety before diving in.

It wouldn’t be surprising if, following part 2’s release, Wednesday season 2 climbed up to Netflix’s top streaming show ever. The fact that it’s an English-language show and is reaching such a diverse audience pool is indicative of its cultural value outside just the US.

The series is #1 in numerous Latin American countries with extensive TV markets, such as Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina. The Hispanic representation among the show’s cast could be a notable reason for this, lifting it beyond titles like Adolescence and Stranger Things​​​​, where the viewership came primarily from the US and Europe.

Our Take On Wednesday Season 2’s Success

Wednesday’s Success Speaks To The Value Of Representation

Wednesday’s streaming numbers are unprecedented, and the value of its multi-cultural appeal can’t go understated. In the US, Stranger Things is such a widely-viewed series that it’s shocking to consider that these titles have a difference of over 100 million views. Wednesday’s success worldwide is the difference maker.
