According to FlixPatrol, it’s currently in the top 5 on SkyShowtime in a bunch of European countries – which makes sense, as it only just finished airing there after a delayed release, so people were probably waiting to watch the whole season at once.

As a huge fan, I was so excited for season 2 of Wednesday, and honestly, it delivered! It had everything I loved about the first season – Jenna Ortega was amazing as Wednesday, Tim Burton’s style was as wonderfully dark and spooky as ever, and the mix of monsters, mystery, and teenage drama was perfect.
