After a huge few months on Netflix, it’s a little baffling that the streamer hasn’t renewed his mega-hit. Wednesday for a second season. It turns out that there is one possible reason for the late renewal response, and that is because when the TV show 2023 (or 2024 depending on the shooting time of a season) WednesdayThe potential second season of could end up on Prime Video instead of Netflix.
According to The independent is this possible Wednesday could go to another streaming platform for its second season. The potential change comes as Amazon entered into an $8.5 billion merger with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), the studio behind the hit 2022 spinoff Addams Family.
The merger was completed in March last year between the two companies, according to Term . Under the agreement, Amazon will not make all MGM content exclusive to Prime Video. The Independent’s report notes that it appears Netflix will be “eager” to keep Wednesday on its platform, however, this merger could make revamping the show in its original venue difficult. So while the show could end up on Prime Video or stay on Netflix, one thing is clear: This merger is sure to complicate renewal negotiations.
Be it Wednesday is it in a new home or staying where it is, it seems very likely that we will have a Season 2 of the series with Jenna Ortega . The series was not only number 1 in Netflix’s Top 10 for weeks, but also amassed over 341 million watch hours in one week. Which means it broke the one-week viewership record set by stranger things 4 according to Term and it is a great success.
In addition to setting viewership records, the show has also exploded on social media. following Wednesday dance that blows up the internet millions recreated, including Lady Gaga – whose song “Bloody Mary” became the trending soundtrack, even though “Goo Goo Muck” was the song used on the show. Addam’s Wednesday Fashion it has also become a trend in its own right, with celebrities such as Camila Cabello wears inspired dresses from the young member of the Addams Family and tons of people on TikTok posting their goth outfits.
Even the fans got loud noise reactions to Wednesday the final and the the season 1 finale left a lot unresolved perfectly preparing the hit show for a second season.
Even though the series was a huge hit, it seems like it should be a no-brainer for Netflix when it comes to renewing a second season. However, this Amazon-MGM merger report explains a little more clearly why we haven’t heard of a new season yet.
I guess we’ll probably go back to Nevermore Academy with the launch Wednesday for the second time based on the success of the first season. However, this MGM-Amazon merger could mean you’ll need one Amazon Prime subscription to see what Wednesday Addams will do next. It’s also possible it will stay with Netflix since the merger doesn’t require all MGM content to be exclusive to Prime Video.
So with all that said, we’ll have to wait a little longer to see if Wednesday gets a season 2. In the meantime, you can experience the blockbuster season 1 with a Netflix subscription .
