After rumors swirled that the show could be moving to another platform, the streamer announced Friday that it had renewed the show for a second season.
The world premiere of "Wednesday" took place at the Hollywood Legion Theater.
The second most popular series of the year was Wednesday, starring the latest actress to play the Addams family character, and it was followed by the season 4 ofStranger Things.
In November, the spooky series became the most watched English-language series on the streamer.
Despite Wednesday's success, Netflix was slow to announce a second season of the hit show, leading some viewers to speculate that the series' next iteration could stream on another platform like Amazon Prime after Amazon and MGM merged in March.
Hispanic households accounted for 25% of all viewers, according to the analytic firm.
The show is popular with females of all ages, with more than half of viewers between the ages of 18 and 49.
Lady Gaga's 2001 song "Bloody Mary" went to the top of the charts more than a decade after it was first released as a result of Wednesday's success. A TikTok trend of users recreating the dance was created by a fan edit of a song that wasn't featured in the series. Lady Gaga posted a video of herself dancing to "Bloody Mary" and the song has been streamed more than 100 million times.
Fans and the show's directors were confused when it was announced that the second season of 1899 wouldn't be moving forward. Critics lambasted the company for its tendency to cancel original shows after just a few seasons. The directors of Dark said in a statement Monday that they hoped to finish the series with two more seasons. The first four days of its availability to stream, the series had racked up over 80 million hours of viewing, making it the second most watched show on the platform. In an interview with Variety earlier this year, Peter Friedlander, head of the U.S. and Canada scripted series, said that when it came to canceling shows, it was about the long term and the longer term viewing.

A new date. Variety counted the number of canceled English language shows last year.
