After already dethroning StrangerThings in its opening weekend, WednesdayNetflix has set another record, besting itself.
Netflix series Wednesday has broken its own record and continues to soar up the streaming platform's all-time charts. The mystery series, of which four episodes are directed by Tim Burton, is a spinoff that's based on the characters of The Addams Family comics, created by Charles Addams. It follows Wednesday as she's sent to a boarding school, Nevermore Academy, which is specifically made for outcasts.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Twelve days after its debut, The Hollywood Reporter reports that the Jenna Ortega-led Wednesday has beaten its own record, as for the week of November 28 - December 4, the series had 411.29 million hours viewed. This is the first time any English-language series has reached and passed 400 million hours viewed in a week. With 752.52 million cumulative hours streamed, Wednesday is ranked No.
Wednesday Addams has always been one of the most commercially successful members of the Addams family with her precocious, dark, and shamelessly awkward ways. Out of all the members, a spinoff following Wednesday in her teenage years holds the most promise and garners the most interest, as seen by the series' success.
But the seeming x-factor for the show's success is the fact that Wednesday is textbook dark academia. Set in a boarding school, being a mystery, and its aesthetic of prep school uniforms and gothic architecture are all attributes of the subgenre that's gained a lot of attraction from viewers both in digital media and mainstream literature, especially from Burton.
