The words when we hear something related to 1 Billion are shocking. But the word 1 Billion Hours of views may sound astounding but it isn’t impossible.
We are discussing the Netflix streaming series and their streaming watch hours on the platform.
However, only three series on Netflix have crossed this mark so far. This benchmark was created by the insanely successful Korean series Squid Game and it is still on the top with record viewership.
At the latest, we have another supernatural series titled “Wednesday” joining this elite group by clocking the one billion views. Interestingly, the new season was out recently back a few weeks ago.
Wednesday is a spinoff series that follows Wednesday Addams as she’s sent to a boarding school called Nevermore Academy. At the time of writing this, Netflix’s hit series click 1.022 billion watch hours by surpassing the supernatural drama Stranger Things and grabbing the #2 spot after the Squid Game.
This made “Wednesday” the third title on Netflix to reach one billion hours viewed in the first 28 days on the platform after “Squid Game,” which has 1.65 billion views, and “Stranger Things 4,” which has 1.35 billion hours viewed.
“Wednesday” is now the No. 2 on Netflix’s English TV Most Popular List, based on hours viewed in the first 28 days on the platform.
