The Tim Burton directed "Wednesday" has reached a milestone that only "Squid Game" and "Stranger Things" have accomplished. Over 150 million households have watched the show since it was first aired three weeks ago. It is the second most popular English-language series on the streaming service.
Lady Gaga recreated a dance scene from "Wednesday Addams" in the fourth episode of the show, which has since become a cultural phenomenon. The #wednesdayaddams has more than 16 million views on TikTok.
The kooky young-adult series was responsible for the surge in listening streams for a song by The Cramps. Kate Bush's song "Running Up That Hill" spiked in popularity on both TikTok and Spotify.
The biographical drama series starring Evan Peters was the winner of the silver medal. "Wednesday" only needed 21 days to become a smash hit, whereas "Dahmer" only needed 28 days. It took 60 days for the show to reach 1 billion views.
After losing over a million subscribers, the achievement is noteworthy. In the third quarter, the company gained over 2 million subs. In this year's EMMY awards,Netflix only won 26 awards, compared to 37 for the other side.
There are 14 TV nominations and nine film noms for the Golden Globes. The comedy series "Wednesday" received two nominations, one for best television series and one for best actress.
There is a chance that the show will win a Golden Globe. It's probably not. Since the series is a runner-up against popular shows like "Abbott Elementary" and "Only Murders in the Building", having a family-friendly show be recognized at any award show is a big deal for the company.
The spin-off was guaranteed to draw in a lot of nostalgic viewers. The 1964 TV series, as well as the 1991 and 2019 films, are taken into account in the show. It is directed by Tim Burton, who is best known for his films "Beetlejuice" and "Edward Scissorhands". Unlike "Squid Game" and "Stranger Things" which are completely different in their own wild ways, "Wednesday" is an over the top tactic that many streamers opt for.
If it wants to keep up with its competitors, the streaming giant needs to release more high-quality original series that have completely new concepts and characters.
