It may be Tuesday, but this week is all about Wednesday. With her deadpan charm and signature wit, Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams catapulted Part 1 of the show’s second season to the top of the English TV List for a second week. Wednesday Season 2, Part 1 claimed No. 1 in 88 countries after amassing another 29.1 million views, and was a Top 10 hit in all countries ranked, while Season 1 earned the No. 3 spot with 7.4 million views and entered the Top 10 in 92 countries. Luckily, fans won’t have to wait much longer for the next four episodes: Part 2 of Season 2 snaps back on Sept. 3. 

Look, they told us themselves: HUNTR/X don’t quit. The leading ladies of KPop Demon Hunters maintained their ownership of the Top 10, climbing back up to No. 1 on the English Film List with another 26 million views, nine weeks after the film’s premiere. The soundtrack continues its record-breaking run: KPop Demon Hunters became the first soundtrack since Waiting To Exhale in 1995 to chart three songs in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously; and the film’s lead single “Golden” became the first song by a girl group to hit No. 1 on the chart since “Bootylicious” by Destiny’s Child nearly 25 years ago. Iconic. Fans of the demon-slaying trio have clearly been committed to memorizing every lyric in anticipation of forthcoming theatrical screenings at the KPop Demon Hunters A Sing-Along Event.

On the opposite side of the genre spectrum, the No. 2 spot was taken by the gritty dark thriller Night Always Comes with 11.3 million views. In this newly released film, Vanessa Kirby plays Lynette, a desperate woman who spends a long night attempting to raise funds to buy her family’s home and avoid eviction. 

For lighter fare, audiences were ready to return to school with Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest as My Oxford Year landed at No. 3. Literary-minded romantics continued to be dazzled by the drama, bringing in another 11 million views. Meanwhile, forget coming in under par — Happy Gilmore 2 scored another 7 million views and the No. 4 spot on the English Film List.

The Korean legal drama Beyond the Bar clocked in for another week at No. 2 with 4.5 million views, followed by Mexico’s Unspeakable Sins at No. 3 with 3.5 million views. Plus, K-drama fans haven’t put their green tracksuits away just yet — Squid Game Season 3 earned another 1.6 million views at No. 7. 

The drama didn’t end there — a new pod squad found love across the pond in Season 2 of Love Is Blind UK (No. 8, 2.6 million views), and sports fans tuned into the Japanese reality series Final Draft, which follows 25 former athletes on their quest to relaunch their careers (No. 8 in non-English TV, 1.4 million views). 

In the world of non-English FilmBlood Brothers: Bara Naga topped the list with 2 million views. The Malaysian film delivers serious action, following an elite bodyguard who’s forced into a showdown with his best friend when he’s framed for a crime. German thriller Brick stayed “locked in” at No. 2 (1.7 million views) as viewers continued to puzzle over how the trapped neighbors escape a mysteriously sealed apartment building.
