Netflix’s new megahit Wednesday is racing up the all-time leaderboards on its way to a billion hours viewed, which should be announced any day now, and it will be only the fourth show ever to hit that mark after Squid Game, Stranger Things season 4 and Dahmer.

is racing up the all-time leaderboards on its way to a billion hours viewed, which should be announced any day now, and it will be only the fourth show ever to hit that mark after Squid Game, Stranger Things season 4 and Dahmer. It’s likely to pass Dahmer entirely and may get near Stranger Things, and because of this, fans are wondering why season 2 hasn’t been announced yet.

To reassure everyone, yes, it’s a done deal. This is not a Sandman situation, where a show does pretty well, but Netflix weights the pros and cons of bringing it back for another pricey season. Wednesday is not just performing well, it’s a pop culture phenomenon and one of Netflix’s biggest shows ever. A season 2 is not the question, but rather whether it might get double greenlit for season 3 as well right off the bat.

As for what’s taking so long, this is actually par for the course when shows are unexpected hits. There’s a matter of negotiations in many cases, where suddenly say, director Tim Burton and star Jenna Ortega may have negotiated one rate for season 1, now they’re in a position to demand more, a lot more, for season 2, and that’s not going to get announced until that’s all hammered out.More often than not, Netflix waits a while to announce sequel seasons even for big hits.
