“Wednesday” season 2 bombing in the ratings

Didn’t that crap menu at Wendy’s make some people sick?

I hate these CGI crapfest shows and movies.

Waited too long. The kids and teens who cared have moved on.

Netflix famously doesn’t release ratings information so this sounds dubious. What does “dropped increasingly by 50%” even mean?

Stupid OP! Netflix doesn’t keep track of ratings for entire days!!!

Who told you that???

I think everyone's had sufficient of this little cunt.

They cast me as the mother, Mortica, but I'm obviously the better option to play the daughter role.

They waited too long.

Nobody wants to see Pugsly after puberty.

I haven't watched TV in years and am not familiar the production process. According to Wikipedia, this show was renewed for a second season back in January of 2023. Why such a long gap before the second season's premier? Is that normal?

What I DO know, however, is that the internet seems to think that Jenna Ortega has done some weird shit to her face. Let's just hope it's weight loss and bad makeup.

People are fucking sick of Jenna Ortega. This woman is not a star. Whatever “it” is, she frankly doesn’t have it. So why is she being foisted upon us?

[quote] Netflix famously doesn’t release ratings information so this sounds dubious.

That was before they incorporated ads into their programming. They absolutely release ratings now.

I can't help but think that Jenna's recent "no eyebrows" look was copped from her "X" co-star Mia Goth.

What do you expect when you split the season?

I didn’t know until I started watching British television that a gap of 2-5 years between series is no big deal to them. I know it’s not all, but many do.

The first season caught on because of the dance scene that went viral on TikTok. The second hasn't had anything like that moment yet.

Your link isn't showing up for me, OP. Variety says it's doing as well as the first series.

Jenna has one of the strongest boniest faces Ive seen.

[quote]Waited too long. The kids and teens who cared have moved on.

Yeah, Season 1 was released in November 2022, which seems like a lifetime ago.

A lot has changed since then.

The whole thing seems phoned in, from the acting to the storyline

IGN says that the ratings are down. They’re going 4 eps in, not just premiere.

R18, that’s the premiere. IGN is looking through to ep 4.

While I agree that shows are taking too long a break in between seasons lately, the strikes were the culprit for why this show took so long to come back

IMO, the 2nd season is B-O-R-I-N-G! Episode 2 was okay, but I thought the 1st and 3rd of season 2 was awful. SO MUCH going on in episode 3 and none of it interesting. I probably won't watch the 4th and just call it a day.

R24 Netflix is run by socialists, who are lazy as fuck.

Socialism encourages indolence and tardiness, because they equate hard work and punctuality with capitalism.

R24, I think the strike shares some of the blame, but Netflix has never been very good about getting shows on a regular schedule, and it kills the momentum for some of its biggest series. The first season of Squid Game was a phenomenon, but by the time the second season came out, no one cared.

While I don't think it'll bomb, this isn't a good sign for the return of Stranger Things later this year.

I didn't even know it was out. there seems to be zero hype which is odd since season 1 was so huge.

Don’t cast kids and expect them to continue through puberty. It’s a crap shoot.

R26 they also equate being punctual and industrious with the "white patriarchy."

Is it bombing because that little cunt isn't changing her lines anymore ?

[quote]What do you expect when you split the season?

I am waiting until the last 4 episodes drop before I start season 2.

Has the “Every Movie is a Bomb” troll moved from film to television? It’s good to see him expanding his envious, deluded horizons.

Oh, and “Wednesday” is not “bombing.” It’s doing just fine and sends its love.

OP's link still isn't working for me. But I googled IGN after r23 mentioned it and their latest report doesn't say it's bombing, just that it's not a runaway hit.

Wasn't she canceled after the whole Snow White ordeal?

Netflix usually only does 3 seasons of the majority of their original shows to fill their library. If it gets a third season it’ll probably be the last. Lady Gaga will definitely give it a much needed boost. Burton also just made her next music video.

As many said above, these streamers take way too damn long to renew and make new seasons of shows. Audiences all but move on now with a million things vying for their attention now.

Say what you will, but traditional television had the format down, and knew what worked.
