All these years Stranger Things has been the only show that took over the minds of people. The popularity and fan following of this pop culture phenomenon meant no bounds as the fans deeply invested themselves in the nostalgic world of the 80s. Surprisingly, it all changed when the modernized spinoff of Addams Family arrived on Netflix. Wednesday became the most-watched English-language series in a week, beating this fan-favorite drama. Soon after that, the coming-of-age comedy surpassed 1.02 billion views and dethroned Duffer Brother’s creation from its golden seat. Now the show and its leading star Jenna Ortega are giving a double hit to Stranger Things, taking home a big win at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Awards 2023.

The winner list of the 36th Annual Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards was announced on March 4. Under the category of Favorite Family TV Show, Netflix show Wednesday clinched the award. Undoubtedly, this is a big win seeing that the series was competing against massively followed shows like Stranger Things, Cobra Kai, and Young Sheldon.
