Wednesday season 2 will be aired on Amazon Prime

While Netflix's hit fantasy series Wednesday has long been announced for a second season, it has yet to be ordered, with a recent source saying it is uncertain whether the show will continue on Netflix due to copyright reasons.

The reason is that Wednesday is a spin-off of The Addams Family, and the rights are owned by MGM, which was acquired by Amazon Prime for $8.5B, so presumably Amazon Prime will put Wednesday on its own streaming platform.

With 341.2 million hours of viewership in its first week, "Wednesday" topped Netflix's weekly ratings chart, breaking the weekly record of 335 million hours held by "Stranger Things" Season 4 and setting the Netflix record for the most-watched English-language series in a single week.

However, Stranger Things still leads in terms of total viewing time, and the top three English-language series in 2022 on Netflix are Stranger Things Season 4, Wednesday Season 1, and Dahmer.

Wednesdays is the first TV series directed by Tim Burton (Batman, Big Fish, Edward Scissorhands, etc.). The series is about the life of Wednesdays Adams as he endures at Nevermore Academy.

Nevermore Academy is a school for special people. It's here that Wednesday learns to master her growing psychic powers, dealing with new and complex relationships with a variety of strange classmates.

She also investigates the brutal killing event that terrorize the town and solves the supernatural mystery her parents were involved in 25 years ago.

The series combines detective mystery and supernatural elements, as well as Gothic dark atmosphere and youth campus story, thriller with fun, easy to follow.

Of course, the plot is more routine, it is easy to guess the real bad guy, the twists are also blunter. Wednesday solving the case by very easy and naive logic, but it is still a pleasant TV series to watch. The show just simply makes people happy, it’s easy to follow, that’s what audiences need.
