Other shows that were not on the streaming site to achieve this mark so fast are Stranger Things Season 4, and Squid Game.
Speak to Tudum.com, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar – the creators, showrunners and executive producers of the series, said: “It’s been incredible to create a show that has connected with people across the world. Thrilled to continue Wednesday’s tortuous journey into season two.
“We can’t wait to dive head first into another season and explore the kooky spooky world of Nevermore. Just need to make sure Wednesday hasn’t emptied the pool first.”

Ortega posted the following message on social media: “Thanks to everyone who watched and helped make the next season possible.” “This was quite surreal.”
This good news comes just after reports that raised fears about Wednesday’s deal to be on Netflix being cancelled. MGM, who owns intellectual property rights to Addams Family, is being sold.
The success of the service led to some speculation that rival services such as Prime Video might take over. This was thankfully proven false.
