“Wednesday,” the Jenn Ortega-starring supernatural mystery centering on the beloved and macabre Addams daughter, has become Netflix’s most-viewed English-language TV title in a single week. Upon its debut Nov. 23, the Tim Burton-directed limited series notched 341.2 million hours viewed.
When comparing the dark comedy show with other popular Netflix titles, Ryan Murphy’s “Dahmer” — which dominated the Netflix Top 10 for weeks — only came near the 300 million viewing hours mark at its height. “Stranger Things 4” came even closer, with 335 million hours viewed in a single week during its second week on the chart in late May. When the sci-fi series released Part 2, its highest single-week viewership figure was 301.3 million hours viewed. It’s also worth noting that “Dahmer” and “Stranger Things 4” achieved these numbers only on their second week on the Top 10 chart, as opposed to “Wednesday,” which accomplished the record-breaking feat in its inaugural outing.
