Wednesday has been revealed to be in talks of producing multiple seasons and is reportedly being renewed for a Season 2 as the show writers are already setting up what’s to come next for the teenage macabre along with its producers looking for new locations for filming. That said, it is no surprise that things are going smoothly for the Jenna Ortega-led show as its streaming record continues to dominate Netflix’s top watched series.

According to Netflix Top 10, as of this week, the Charles Addam’s cartoon adaptation has pulled in a total of 173.9 million hours, which earned its spot on the ‘most viewed series on Netflix’ this week, in addition to its 1.19 billion viewership hours total within less than a month of its release. The show beat Harry and Megan: Limited Series (97.7M) and The Recruit Season 1 (52.3M).
