Netflix’s Wednesday is a huge hit which drew in 341.23M hours viewed in its very first week. It now holds the record for the most hours viewed in a week for any English-language series on the streaming platform. The supernaturally infused mystery follows Wednesday Addams’ (played by Jenna Ortega) years as a student at Nevermore Academy. Wednesday attempts to master her 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 at Nevermore.
