Top 10 Week of September 1: Wednesday Season 2 Does the Dead Dance to No. 1 in Top 10

Plus: Unknown Number: The High School Catfish has viewers buzzing.

No Hyde can keep her down! Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) is very much alive and back on the case as Wednesday Season 2, Part 2 rose like the dead to the No. 1 spot on the English TV list last week with 28.2 million views. The final four episodes of the new season feature the return of Principal Weems (Gwendoline Christie), a Slurp (Owen Painter) transformation, and a Lady Gaga cameo, including a new song and a viral dance from Mother Monster. But don't worry, all those lingering questions will get their time when the series returns for Season 3.

In the No. 1 spot on the English Film list is the much buzzed-about documentary Unknown Number: The High School Catfish, which grabbed another 26.3 million views in its second week since debuting. With its shocking twist ending, the film from veteran documentarian Skye Borgman (Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser) has viewers doing deep dives into the Licari family and the true story of a cyberstalker who bullied two teens ceaselessly for over a year.

Whether they are rooting for Team Alex or Team Cole, fans of My Life with the Walter Boys collectively brought in another 10.9 million views, putting the series at No. 2 on the English TV list. Viewers couldn't help but go back to where it all started, putting My Life with the Walter Boys Season 1 at No. 5 (3.5 million views).

At No. 3 on the list was the British political thriller Hostage, which snatched another 5.5 million views as viewers watched the tension build in a power struggle between world leaders. Lured in with the promise of exposing scammers who deserve it, viewers pushed Love Con Revenge to the No. 7 spot on the Top 10 with 3 million views in its debut week.

As arguably Halloween's top choice for costumes, viewers perfected their Rumi, Mira, and Zoey impersonations with repeat viewings of KPop Demon Hunters, which landed at No. 2 on the English Film list with 25.4 million views. Audiences continued to puzzle over the mystery at the center of The Thursday Murder Club, putting the film at No. 3 with 18.7 million views as they joined the quartet of senior armchair detectives in their pursuit of justice and the safekeeping of their beloved retirement community.

"Shrekking" may be the new dating term for settling when it comes to relationships, but viewers weren't settling last week as they chose the lovable ogre for themselves and pushed Shrek to No. 5 (3.6 million views), followed by Shrek the Third at No. 6 (3.3 million views) and Shrek 2 at No. 8 (2.8 million views). Turns out happily ever after is within reach.

For another dating-related watch, viewers tuned in to the Korean story of a high school girl who hopes changing her curly hair to straight may get the attention of her crush in Love Untangled, which took No. 1 on the Non-English Film list with 8.2 million views. In a darker sort of romance, the steamy German erotic drama Fall for Me took the No. 2 spot (5.4 million views) as it intrigued audiences with one woman's vacation romance gone wrong.

Viewers looking for something heartfelt turned to the Turkish film Abandoned Man. The No. 3 film (3.8 million views) on the Non-English list plucked at heartstrings with its tale of an ex-con suddenly tasked with taking on responsibility for the young niece he's only just met. In its debut week, the quirky Bollywood film Inspector Zende found its way to the No. 4 spot with 3.4 million views, relaying the story of one cop's search for the "Swimsuit Killer" in 1980s Mumbai.

Equally determined in their search for justice is the revenge-seeking grandmother of Two Graves, the Spanish series which reached No. 1 on the Non-English TV list with 9.1 million views. Meanwhile, Bon Appétit, Your Majesty cooked its way to No. 2 on the list with 7.5 million views as a time-traveling chef uses her culinary skills to stay in favor with a tyrant king in the Korean Joseon era.

Back in the present day, Korean courtroom drama Beyond the Bar was No. 3 (3.2 million views) on the list as viewers cheered on a rookie lawyer navigating a tough law firm. New to the Top 10, Japanese anime series The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity came in at No. 6 (1.5 million views) as it spread its heartwarming tale of two high schoolers from competing schools who endeavor to forge their own path amidst their blooming friendship.
