Wednesday has summoned a new record for Netflix. The supernatural series drew a whopping 341.23M hours viewed in its first week on the streamer, soaring to the top of the TV charts.

It now holds the record for the most hours viewed in a week for any English-language TV series on Netflix. Impressively, that beats Stranger Things 4, which previously held the title. At its peak, the first seven episodes of Stranger Things 4 notched 335M hours viewed in their first full week on the service (and second week in the Top 10).

The current all-time record holder is Squid Game with 571.8M hours viewed in its peak week on Netflix.

Wednesday has made its way into the Top 10 in all 93 countries that Netflix tracks, and it sits at No. 1 in 83 of them — a record that is also shared with Stranger Things 4.

According to Netflix, Wednesday has been viewed in more than 50M households.

Christina Ricci also appears in the series, as well as Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Fred Arimisen and Isaac Ordonez. Wednesday is directed and executive produced by Tim Burton, with creators/showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar.
