Wednesday season 2 part 2 has received a disappointing viewership update, seeing a sharp dropoff despite remaining Number 1 on Netflix. Wednesday season 2 part 1 managed to grab the top spot on Netflix when it premiered with four episodes on August 6, 2025. Part 2 arrived on September 3, 2025, finishing the latest story arc of the series.
However, Variety reports Wednesday season 2 part 2 suffered a 43.6% decrease in viewership in its first week compared to season 2 part 1’s debut. According to Netflix’s weekly charts, season 2 earned 219.2 million hours viewed across 28.2 million viewers for the week of September 1 through September 7. Part 1 got 50 million viewers in its debut week.
What Wednesday Season 2 Part 2’s Performance Means For The Netflix Show
Despite the viewership drop for Wednesday season 2 part 2, the show still earned Number 1 worldwide for Netflix during its first week. It makes this week season 2’s fifth consecutive week in the Top 10. It was also Number 1 in 91 of the 93 countries whose Top 10 lists it made over the last week.
The Addams Family spinoff is clearly still a strong supporter for Netflix, who sees the franchise potential in the fantasy show. Wednesday season 3 was confirmed ahead of season 2’s premiere, alongside a spinoff show whose details are currently secret. Even so, season 2 hasn’t nearly reached season 1’s height as the most popular English-language show in the platform’s history.
Despite the viewership drop off, Wednesday is still drawing in a large crowd for Netflix. Season 2 drew in almost three times as many viewers as My Life With the Walter Boys season 2, which sits at Number 2. Even season 1 of the Ortega-led series came in at Number 6, proving it’s still a powerhouse for the platform.
Our Take On Wednesday Season 2 Part 2’s Massive Viewership Drop
Season 2 hasn’t been performing as well as season 1, making the show’s return somewhat disappointing when it comes to overall viewership. The dropoff from part 1 to part 2 seems to signal Netflix’s decision to release the season in batches may not have been best for its performance, despite previously working with shows like Stranger Things season 4.
Even so, Wednesday still took the Number 1 spot for the week, proving it’s still a massive success for Netflix despite its sharp decline in viewers. Since the show has only released new episodes a week ago, though, it’s possible its performance will at least continue dominating charts, given how popular it’s been thus far.
