The Addams Family spinoff on Netflix Wednesday has surpassed its first-week record high weekly viewing time figure with its second-week performance, indicating that the Jenna Ortega series is poised to become a chart regularly. Because of its accomplishment, the programme is already ranked in the top three in the English-language rankings.
Tim Burton said in 2020 that he will be working on a new instalment of the Addams Family property. This unidentified project evolved into a Netflix-commissioned spin-off focusing on Wednesday, the family's daughter and the character that people appeared to connect with the most over the years.

This was shown with the publication of the first official Wednesday trailer amid considerable hype and expectation. Now, Netflix has verified that Wednesday hit another record, collecting a remarkable 752.52 million hours of viewing time in less than two weeks on Netflix. Around 411 million of those watch hours occurred within the show's first week on Netflix, a number only equalled by Squid Game, another highly popular addition to Netflix's lineup.
This excellent run ranks Wednesday just behind Dahmer, the Jeffrey Dahmer documentary that also received record-breaking Netflix viewing when it premiered. Wednesday's viewing seems to be poised to be spurred by viral memes and videos on social media that all seem to be universal in their support of the series, with a specific emphasis on admiration for Ortega's portrayal in the eponymous character. This praise is consistent with the critical response, which praised Ortega's performance as the highlight amid largely good reviews.
The adorable murder mystery meets coming-of-age horror-comedy of the programme has been considerably more fun than maybe even the actors anticipated. More crucially, according to some viewers, the programme seems to have been a success as an adaptation, with better Rotten Tomatoes ratings than the bulk of prior Addams Family adaptations, many of which are beloved by fans.
While the popularity has been promising for everyone involved, some fans argue that the Wednesday series overlooks what makes the Addams Family unique and instead resembles a more current programme seen on modern networks such as the CW. It needs to be seen if these critiques are legitimate or just a result of adaption weariness.
