What kind of watch this is
Wednesday is a 2022 mystery-comedy where a girl with no emotional range investigates crimes at a school for monsters. Created by Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, it runs 51 minutes per episode.

How it did with audiences
Wednesday debuted at number one in 83 countries. It set the record for most hours viewed in a week for an English-language Netflix series with 341 million hours, edging out Stranger Things 4’s 335 million. Nielsen logged 6 billion minutes in that first week, the second-biggest streaming week the firm had ever recorded. By December 2022, it had reached an estimated 150 million households and 1 billion viewing hours. Users rate it 8.3 out of 10 on TMDB.
What came next for the cast
Jenna Ortega moved from Iron Man 3 and Insidious: Chapter 2 to Scream VI, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and Miller’s Girl. The jump is noticeable, though credits do not prove the cause. Emma Myers swapped Girl in the Basement for A Minecraft Movie, Family Switch, and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. Hunter Doohan left Your Honor for Evil Dead Burn. The group kept working, just in different genres.
