Wednesday season 2 receives a surprising score

The latest season of Wednesday surprises fans and critics with its Rotten Tomatoes score.

Wednesday season 2 earns higher Rotten Tomatoes score

The long-awaited season 2 of Wednesday premiered on Netflix with critics noting a rise in its Rotten Tomatoes score from 73% to 82%. This increase denotes positive feedback, suggesting that the show has improved since its first season. In contrast to other popular series that experienced a decrease in ratings in subsequent seasons, Wednesday seems to have gained traction among critics. While audience ratings are still developing, with currently a score of 69% from limited reviews, expectations remain high compared to the first season’s initial response. Wednesday has been renewed for a third season, indicating Netflix's commitment to the series despite potential viewer fluctuations due to its split episode format.

The growth in Wednesday's critical reception reflects a broader trend in how audiences engage with streaming content. Compared to other series that typically decline in ratings, Wednesday's rise suggests it has tapped into its audience effectively. However, the impact of the episode release strategy raises questions about viewership sustainability. The decision to split the season may lead many viewers to binge-watch at a later date, reflecting changing viewing habits. With a guaranteed third season in the works, Netflix seems poised to capitalize on the show's cultural resonance, although continued audience engagement will be key to its success.
