“Wednesday” came back to life in September with the debut of Season 2 Part 2. The final four episodes of the new season opened to 28.2 million views in their first five days on Netflix, marking a 43.6% decrease in viewership from Part 1, which scored 50 million views in the same time period.
Still, the black comedy series, starring Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, ranked No. 1 on the English TV top 10 chart, where Season 2 Part 1 remains in the No. 6 slot. Since the first half of Season 2 premiered in August, some viewers may wait to binge the whole series at once. Following a huge marketing push for Part 1, it might take others a few more days to realize more episodes of the series are available on the platform. The first season of “Wednesday” remains the most popular season of television on Netflix of all time, raking in 252 million views globally in the first 91 days of release.
Following “Wednesday” is Season 2 of the teen drama “My Life With the Walter Boys,” which snagged another 10.9 million views in its second week. Buzz around the romance show propelled the first season, too, to No. 5 on the chart with 3.5 million views from Sept. 1 through Sept. 7. The British limited series “Hostage” came in third, followed by “Katrina: Come Hell and High Water.”
The buzzy documentary “Unknown Number: The High School Catfish” came in first place on the English films chart, taking in another 26.3 million views in its second week. After its Aug. 23 debut, “KPop Demon Hunters” continues to captivate audiences, coming in at No. 2 with another 25.4 million views. And “The Thursday Murder Club,” which premiered on Aug. 22, sits at No. 3 with 18.7 million views in the first week of September.
