We’re just days away from Netflix’s most-watched English-language show of all time returning to the streamer.

The first part of Wednesday season 2 debuts next week and it seems mega-fans of the plait-wearing nihilist are already getting ready to dive back into the world of Nevermore Academy.

The show’s first eight episode season has rejoined the streamer’s top 10 ranking of TV shows, as fans likely squeeze in a rewatch to refresh their minds on how the last season wrapped up.

Lest we forget, the show became an global juggernaut when it was first released in 2022.

Thanks in part to Wednesday’s marvellously macabre school dance moves, which went viral online, the show was watched 252,100,000 times, making it Netflix’s most popular show ever (in English, with the one exception of Squid Game for the all-timer list).
