Jenna Ortega scowling as Wednesday Addams in Wednesday season 1

This article is part of a directory: Wednesday Season 2: Cast, Story & Everything We Know PreviousWednesday Season 2's Bigger Episodes Teased By Jenna Ortega In Exciting Filming Update Wednesday co-creator and writer Alfred Gough explained why eight-episode seasons are ideal for a television series.

It's interesting, eight has kind of become the number. Believe me, look, we worked in 22 episodes, we've done 10 episodes, we've done all iterations of this. Basic cable took us from 22 episodes to, like, 13 episodes, right? Then you thought,"Okay, you can tell the story," and you had a few what I call “wheel-spinners.” I think in a 13-episode season, there were three wheel-spinners. Then they went to a 10-episode season, and we've done that too.

What This Means For Wednesday & Other TV Series Episode Counts Will Not Be Increasing Soon Close Wednesday season 1 is the most-watched season of any Netflix original series. If even Wednesday cannot feature more than eight episodes per season, then it is highly unlikely that any Netflix seasons in the near future will exceed this episode count.

1 From the 12 episodes in a season of Disney+'s Star Wars: Andor to 10 episodes in seasons 2 and 3 of Hulu's The Bear, some of the other streamers do feature more episodes, but these examples are still a far cry from when 22 episodes were the expectation. With studio executives looking for ways to cut growing costs, the number of episodes will not be substantially increasing any time soon on any of the streaming services.
