Per Netflix's own figures, Wednesday season 2 drew 50 million views for the viewing period of August 4 to August 10 (the show released on August 6, so that's across 5 days of streaming). While that's certainly an impressive figure, it's ever so slightly down from season 1, which drew 50.1 million viewers (H/T What's on Netflix ).

After years of waiting, many fans were surprised by a season two release in August 2025 with only four episodes. But with new characters and a sharper, more horror-forward tone, the episodes have kept viewers hooked.

“Wednesday” certainly didn’t face a sophomore slump, with the debut of Season 2 racking up a whopping 50 million views in just five days on Netflix.
