The series Wandinha has quickly become one of Netflix’s biggest hits in recent years, with a spin-off of The Addams family, centered on the daughter of Mortícia and Gomez whose name gives the title to the production. But now, there are reports that Netflix’s second most watched English-language series may be leaving the stream.
Wandinha premiered in November on Netflix, with Jenna Ortega in the role of a teenager Wandinha Addams, who continues to study at the boarding school for marginalized Escola Nunca Mais. The investigative-tinged series has been watched for over 1 billion hours, making it second only to Stranger things as the most-watched English-language series in Netflix history.
The production amassed more than 400 million hours watched by its audience in just one week. The series has received praise from fans for its writing and Jenna Ortega’s performance as Wandinha.
Despite all this, Wandinha It has not yet been renewed by Netflix for a second season. With all the success of the series, a continuation is sure to happen, but there’s actually a chance that won’t happen on Netflix. The reason?
Netflix may not have the ability to keep the series in its catalog, according to The Independent. This is why Wandinha is a product of MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). The major manufacturer was acquired by Amazon in 2022 in an $8.5 billion deal. This means that the rights of Wandinha it could end up belonging to Amazon.
Thus, it is possible that the second season of the series will leave Netflix and head to Amazon streaming, Prime Video. Of course, none of this is certain yet. Netflix could still negotiate with Amazon to continue with the rights Wandinha. In fact, Amazon has already confirmed that it does not plan to turn all MGM content into Prime Video exclusives, which gives more possibilities to Wandinha continue on Netflix.
Although it hasn’t been renewed yet, the producers of the series are already in the process of scouting filming locations for a new season, as well as contacting the writers. The duo also commented on what they hope to feature in the new season in a recent interview.
The first season of Wandinha is available on Netflix.
