Jenna Ortega brings the deadpan charm as Wednesday Addams in Netflix‘s new Tim Burton-directed series “Wednesday,” a fresh young adult take on “The Addams Family” that just premiered last Wednesday, November 23. The good news? The series is already a massive hit for Netflix, with the streamer announcing today that it just set an impressive new record.
Netflix announced on their website, “Being an outcast has never been more IN as Wednesday, the supernatural infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years at Nevermore Academy, debuted in the #1 spot with a record breaking 341.23M hours viewed, with 50M+ households who have seen the series (341M hours viewed divided by 6.8 hours).
“The series now holds the record for the most hours viewed in a week for an English-language TV series on Netflix.”
“The series was #1 in 83 countries — tied with Stranger Things 4,” Netflix also notes.
All this good news of course bodes well for “Wednesday” getting a second season, and we have to assume that Netflix won’t be waiting long to announce the renewal. Stay tuned.
Jenna Ortega stars in the new series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series. Christina Ricci also appears in the show, playing a brand new role, with Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.
“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” The series follows…
“Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.”
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are the writers and showrunners.
