When Netflix released the second season of "Wednesday" in two parts, I initially wondered whether this decision was driven by narrative necessity or simply by the platform’s strategy to keep the conversation alive for longer. After all, the first season had been a global phenomenon, and splitting the follow-up into two halves carried the risk of breaking its rhythm. Having now seen the complete season, I can say that while the release format interrupted its flow, the content itself proves that the creative team paid attention to the lessons of season one and delivered something richer, darker, and more confident. This time, the show leans further into the shadows while still delivering the sharp wit and macabre humour that made its first season so irresistible.
Every time I settle in for a binge-watch, armed with snacks and the delusional belief that I have “just one more episode” worth of self-control, an OTT platform finds a new way to personally offend me by splitting a season into two. You open Netflix or Prime Video, click on a highly anticipated series, and halfway through, realise you are too early for the binge-watch. “Stranger Things” did it. “The Witcher” did it. “Bridgerton” and “Squid Game” Season 3 did it—and, more recently, the second season of “Wednesday” just did the very same. And don’t even get me started on the “Money Heist” final-season split, which had the entire internet in a chokehold for weeks.
Netflix’s hit series “Wednesday” has returned in force, with its second season drawing 50 million views within just five days of release. The gothic comedy, which premiered its latest episodes on August 4, matched the viewership of its first season’s debut in November 2022.
This time, Wednesday returns to Nevermore to confront a mysterious new enemy while trying to save her werewolf roommate Enid.
Netflix has finally unveiled the much-anticipated trailer for “Wednesday” Season 2, bringing back Jenna Ortega’s gothic heroine to Nevermore Academy—this time, with even darker secrets and a mission that could cost her everything.
Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Lady Gaga has shared her excitement about working alongside Jenna Ortega in the highly anticipated second season of “Wednesday”.
“Squid Game” shattered records in 2024, becoming the most-watched series in a single week, with an astounding 4.9 billion minutes streamed from December 23 to December 29, according to Nielsen data.
The live-adaptation of “One Piece” rose to become the leading TV series on Netflix in around 84 different countries within the first few days of its release.
Tim Burton’s “Wednesday” became an instant hit upon its release. The Jenna Ortega starrer received praise for its dramatic cinematography and intriguing plot.
