"Wednesday" Season 2 Viewership Drops, But Netflix Renews Show for Season 3

As of September 11th, 2025, the future of Netflix's hit supernatural series "Wednesday" appears promising, despite a notable drop in viewership for the show's second season.

According to the latest reports, the final four episodes of "Wednesday" season 2 garnered 28.2 million views within their first five days on the streaming service. While this is an impressive figure, it represents a 43.6% decrease in viewership compared to the first four episodes of the season, which had scored 50 million views in the same time period.

The reasons for this viewership decline are not entirely clear, but it could suggest that Netflix's strategy of splitting seasons into two parts may be impacting the show's momentum. However, this setback has not deterred the streaming giant, as they have already renewed "Wednesday" for a third season.

Furthermore, the Addams Family universe is set to expand, with a potential spinoff series in the works. According to industry sources, the team behind "Wednesday" is "definitely noodling" with ideas for a spinoff, hinting at a bright future for the franchise on Netflix.

As fans eagerly await more details on "Wednesday" season 3 and the potential spinoff, the series' co-creator, Alfred Gough, has teased that there is "a lot to explore in the Addams Family." This suggests that the Nevermore Academy and its supernatural inhabitants will continue to captivate audiences in the years to come.
