The Jenna Ortega-starrer from MGM Television crossed the 1B hours seen mark – solely the third present to try this on Netflix – in lower than a month and overtook Dahmer to grow to be the second most-watched U.S. present behind season 4 of Stranger Things.

For the remaining few who haven’t watched, Wednesday provides a brand new tackle The Addams Family — the traditional cartoon strip that was created by Charles Addams which in the end grew to become a ’60s sitcom and a ’90s characteristic movie. Wednesday ranks No. 2 on the preferred (English) TV record with 1.237 billion hours seen inside its first 28 days.
