Wednesday season 2, part 1 has finally hit Netflix – and while it had an impressive debut, it couldn't quite match season 1.

Per Netflix's own figures, Wednesday season 2 drew 50 million views for the viewing period of August 4 to August 10 (the show released on August 6, so that's across 5 days of streaming). While that's certainly an impressive figure, it's ever so slightly down from season 1, which drew 50.1 million viewers (H/T What's on Netflix).

Time will tell if Wednesday season 2's total viewership can stack up against season 1 – one thing that might be holding it back is that it's being released in two parts, so it's possible some viewers are waiting for part 2 to arrive on September 3 before diving in.
