'Wednesday' Becomes Third Most-Watched Web Series On Netflix

Los Angeles, December 14 - Netflix has another breakout hit in the form of coming-of-age supernatural comedy horror series Wednesday, which has become the 3rd most-watched series ever on Netflix.

Released on November 23, the series has crossed 1 billion viewing hours, only 3rd Netflix show to do so, in just 19 days, and with 1.02 billion streaming hours, it is currently the 3rd most series on the streamer (English and Non-English), according to the company's watch-time stats released Tuesday.



Korean global hit "Squid Game" Season 1 is currently the number 1 show on Netflix with 1.65 billion viewing hours, followed by "Stranger Things 4" (English) with 1.35 billion watch hours. "Wednesday", which is based upon the character Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family, still has more than a week to keep accruing watch hours toward its ranking.

Netflix ranks the popularity of its shows by the total number of hours they're watched within their first 28 days of release, and Wednesday's latest stats count viewing from its Nov. 23 release through Sunday (Dec. 11).
