A spokesperson for NewCasinos commented on the findings: “With the success of Netflix’s smash hit Wednesday, this study explores the earnings of the cast to reveal how much they can earn outside of our screens since the release of the series has seen their social media followings skyrocket.
Wednesday is now one of the most-watched Netflix shows, with over three-quarters of a billion hours viewed in the first three weeks. Its popularity has led to a social media boom for each cast member, suggesting that the stars will keep seeing their online following grow, which will lead to more opportunities outside the TV show”.
