Just Two Weeks After Its Release, Wednesday Enters Netflix's Top 10 Series

"Wednesday" has entered Netflix's most popular series list. The series, which premiered on November 23, 2022, has been watched for 856.2 million hours in just two weeks.

CNET reports that "Wednesday" has now reached fourth place among Netflix's most popular series of all time globally.

Netflix typically calculates the most popular series based on viewing hours during the first 28 days of its release. This means "Wednesday" still has about two weeks to finalize its achievement.

"Wednesday's" current position is on par with "Dahmer," which ranks third. Below it are "Money Heist Part 5" and "Bridgerton Season 2," which have been watched for 792.2 million hours and 656.3 million hours, respectively, during their first 28 days on Netflix.

"Wednesday" is a series directed by Tim Burton. The film tells the story of Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), the eldest daughter of the Addams Family.

Wednesday is repeatedly expelled from school for causing trouble. Her parents then enroll her in Nevermore Academy, a school for "outcasts" with supernatural abilities.

At her new school, Wednesday strives to master her supernatural abilities, solve a mystery involving her parents' past, and investigate several murders happening around her.

"Wednesday" is adapted from the cartoon character from "The Addams Family," created by Charles Addams in 1938. Initially, "The Addams Family" appeared in single-panel cartoons published in *The New Yorker* magazine.

Overall, the most-watched Netflix series globally is still the South Korean series, "Squid Game." This series has been watched for 1.65 billion hours in its first 28 days on Netflix.
