‘Wednesday’ Joins All-Time Netflix Ranking, ‘Harry & Meghan’ is Streamer’s Biggest Doc Debut Ever

Tim Burton’s “Addams Family” offshoot starring Jenna Ortega as Wednesday has officially become the third title to cross 1 billion hours viewed on Netflix in one month.
Only “Squid Game” and “Stranger Things” Season 4 have done so in the past.
This means that Wednesday has passed Ryan Murphy’s Dahmer to become Netflix’s No. 2 most popular English-language series of all time.
The company measures its Most Popular list based on each title’s viewership in its first 28 days of availability; “Dahmer” reached 856.2 million hours in that time, while “Wednesday” still has one more week to climb even higher. However, the series is now 352.1 million hours behind “Stranger Things” Season 4’s performance in its first 28 days, and with “Wednesday” racking up 269.7 million hours viewed during the Dec. 5-11 viewing window, it seems most likely that “Stranger Things” will hold onto its No. 1 title.
“Harry & Meghan” took the No. 2 spot on Netflix’s weekly rankings with 81.6 million hours viewed in its first four days of availability — making it the streamer’s biggest documentary debut ever. An estimated 28 million households have tuned into the first three episodes — the only ones available, as the final three debut on Thursday. It’s presumable that the series will remain near the top of the chart for weeks to come.
