After the runaway success of Netflix and Tim Burton’s Addams Family stand-alone series Wednesday starring Jenna Ortega, the streamer renewed it for second season in January 2023. That decision came less than three months after the eight-episode Season 1 premiered, eventually becoming the most-watched original series ever on the streamer ever with more than 252 million views to date, far surpassing Stranger Things‘ Season 4, Dahmer and Season 1 of Bridgerton on the all-time list.

Season 1 ending up scoring 12 Emmy nominations, including for Ortega in Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, becoming just the third Latina to ever be nominated in a leading actress category. The series won four Emmys, though Ortega lost out to Abbott Elementary‘s Quinta Brunson on Emmy night.

When will Season 2 be released?

Netflix has slated the second installment of the series for streaming in 2025.

Is Season 2 in production?...

Big news for Wednesday fans! The highly anticipated second season just got even more exciting with the new cast addition of none other than Lady Gaga, who will be bringing star power and intrigue to the hit series. We learned of this good news from Entertainment Weekly.

Unfortunately, who the Golden Globe Award-winning actress will be playing in the second season is unknown at the moment, but EW reports that she's currently filming with the rest of the cast and crew in Europe. Production took place in Romania for season 1 but has moved to Ireland for season 2. While it's not exactly clear when filming will wrap up, there have been rumors that they'll stop shooting sometime in November. After finishing up post-production, the new episodes will then be released on Netflix in 2025.

Gaga is just the latest actor to join the Wednesday season 2 cast. Besides being a Grammy Award-winning artist,...

Singer/songwriter Lady Gaga didn’t have anything to do with the first season of the hit Netflix Addams Family series Wednesday, but when video clips of Jenna Ortega’s “Goo Goo Muck” dance scene went viral, many fans replaced The Cramps’ song “Goo Goo Muck” with a sped-up version of Lady Gaga’s song “Bloody Mary.” So Wednesday and Lady Gaga have been connected for a while now – and that connection is going to be deepened with the now-in-production season 2, as Deadline reports that Lady Gaga has been added to the cast of the show! Details on the character she’ll be playing have not been revealed.

Wednesday comes to us from Millar Gough Ink, Tim Burton Productions, Toluca Pictures, and MGM Television, and is described as a comedic, supernaturally-infused coming-of-age series that follows the teenage girl’s years as a student at Nevermore Academy, where she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability,...

Lady Gaga is set to make an appearance in “Wednesday” Season 2, Variety has confirmed with sources.

Sources say that the production team had tried to get Gaga on the show for a larger role in Season 2, but that ultimately did not work out.

After “Wednesday” Season 1 debuted in November 2022, Gaga’s 2011 hit “Bloody Mary” went viral when sliced with Ortega’s dancing in “Wednesday,” and since then, Ortega said in a red carpet interview that she would love for Gaga to appear in Season 2.

In May, Netflix revealed that production on “Wednesday” Season 2 had officially begun in Ireland. A release date has yet to be unveiled.

In addition to “Joker 2,” Gaga...

It's been a minute since Netflix dropped Wednesday, its Tim Burton-helmed spinoff off The Addams Family starring Jenna Ortega as a teenaged Wednesday Addams, but did the hype ever truly die down? The first season of Wednesday blew past all expectations when it premiered in 2022, breaking Stranger Things season 4's record for the most minutes viewed in a single week and becoming one of the most-watched shows in the streamer's history. Netflix was quick to renew it for a second season, but with last year's dual Hollywood strikes, it's been slow in coming.

But production is moving right along! Last week was Geeked Week, which meant Netflix dropped tons of teasers and announcements for all its biggest shows. That includes Wednesday, which debuted a first look video that took fans behind the scenes on season 2. Check it out:

Of the three, only McShane is slated to reprise his Sheriff Donovan Galpin role as a guest star, likely to wrap the story of his character who was left devastated in the Season 1 finale by the discovery that his son Tyler (Hunter Doohan) was the Hyde after the sheriff shot and temporarily incapacitated the monster.

Despite Wednesday’s Success, Jenna Ortega Struggled With Hollywood Auditions! (Picture Credit: Instagram)

Jenna Ortega began working in showbiz at the age of 10. She has been a part of some renowned projects, including Iron Man 3, Jane The Virgin, Scream and You. But did you know? Despite Wednesday’s success, filmmakers initially didn’t show much faith in the actress because of her low social media popularity! Scroll below for a blast from the past!

Wednesday is a coming-of-age supernatural comedy series that premiered on Netflix in 2022. Within three weeks of release, it became the second most-watched English language series on the streaming platform. Jenna Ortega stars in the titular role of Wednesday Addams. Her portrayal received positive reviews from critics and audiences. In fact, her signature dance moves became one of the most viral moments on social media.

Jenna Ortega’s low social media popularity was a problem for creators!

While Netflix awaits Season 2 of its breakout hit “Wednesday,” the latest adaptation of the “Addams Family” franchise, it is already eyeing a way to expand that universe. Variety has confirmed that Netflix and producer MGM Television are indeed aiming to spin off “Wednesday” to focus on Uncle Fester.

Armisen’s casting was a surprise when it was first revealed in October 2022 during a trailer teaser drop. He joined the Addams family that also included star Jenna Ortega (Wednesday Addams), as well as Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams and Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams.

Armisen first rose to prominence via his sketch comedy roles in “Saturday Night Live” and “Portlandia”; in recent years his TV appearances have included “Barry,” “History of the World, Part II,” “Unstable,” “What We Do in the Shadows,” “The Kids in the Hall,” “Our Flag Means Death,” “Schmigadoon,” “Moonbase 8” and “Shrull.

Netflix is looking to build a franchise around its reigning most popular series. A Wednesday spinoff revolving around Fred Armisen’s Uncle Fester character is in early development at the streamer from MGM Television, Deadline has confirmed.

Conversations about the offshoot are happening alongside preparations for Season 2 of Wednesday — a new take of The Addams Family starring Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams — which became a ratings and pop culture phenomenon when it launched in November 2022. The horror comedy ranks as Netflix’s most popular English-language series with 252.1M views, almost doubling the next most popular TV season on the streamer.

Armisen guest starred in one episode of Wednesday‘s first season in a memorable appearance as Uncle Fester, brother of Wednesday’s father Gomez Addams (Luis Guzman), who used his ability to generate electricity to revive Thing.

With the end of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, Netflix wants to get the show into production as soon as possible.

However, the series will be filming from a new location when the cameras get rolling in 2024 on Wednesday Season 2.

According to Deadline, Ireland will be the new base for the teen horror drama.

Wednesday Season 2: Everything We Know

Details about why the series has shifted production have not been revealed, but it isn't uncommon for shows to move locations.

These things can be driven by economic factors or even cast availability,...

When the writers strike ended near the start of October, we heard that the top priorities at the Netflix streaming service were to get the scripts for Stranger Things season 5 (the final season of that show) and Wednesday season 2 finished. Stranger Things season 5 is expected to go into production any day now, and Deadline reports that Wednesday season 2 is expected to start filming in late April. When this season goes into production, the cast and crew will be reporting to set in an entirely different country than they worked in during the first season. While season 1 was filmed in Romania, season 2 is moving to Ireland.

The Wednesday sets standing in Romania have become a major tourist attraction, but according to Deadline the decision to film the second season in a different country stems from “logistical challenges” the crew ran into while working in Romania.

Wednesday is described as a comedic,...

Wednesday Season 2 Renewal Status

Netflix officially picked up Wednesday Season 2 in January.

"It's been incredible to create a show that has connected with people across the world," said creators and showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar in an interview with Tudum.

"Thrilled to continue Wednesday's tortuous journey into season two."

"We can't wait to dive head first into another season and explore the kooky spooky world of Nevermore."

News of a renewal...

As part of today’s Tudum fan event, the Netflix streaming service has just unveiled a new video that shows Wednesday cast members Jenna Ortega, Joy Sunday, Emma Myers, and Hunter Doohan discussing some of the theories fans have come up about season 2 – and while doing so they confirm that we’ll be seeing another familiar member of the Addams family in the new season! They just aren’t able to say exactly who that Addams family member is. The video can be seen in the embed above.

Wednesday is described as a comedic, supernaturally-infused coming-of-age series that follows the teenage girl’s years as a student at Nevermore Academy, where she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the town, and solve a mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new relationships at Nevermore. Snap snap.

Ortega...

Once Jenna Ortega was hard at work playing the title character on Netflix’s Addams Family series Wednesday, she became so dedicated to making sure the title character came off just right that she would even change lines from the way they were written in the scripts. But during an interview with the UK’s Times, she revealed that she initially passed on the chance to star in Wednesday.

Ortega told the Times (as reported by Deadline), “I got the email, passed on it. I had done so much TV in my life, all I’ve ever wanted to do is film. I was scared that by signing on to another television show it could prevent me from doing other jobs I really wanted and cared about.“

It was the involvement of Tim Burton, who executive produced the series and directed four of the first season’s eight episodes, that...

Jenna Ortega, star of Netflix’s hit Addams Family series Wednesday, has previously said she had to struggle with directors on the show who didn’t always trust the approach she was taking to the character. Starting with Tim Burton, who directed half of the show’s first season and didn’t want Ortega to show any expression or emotion at all. Something she didn’t feel would work for a lead character who had to push the plot forward. Now in an interview with Variety, Ortega revealed that she also had to change lines from the scripts because they weren’t true to her character.

Ortega said, “I don’t think I’ve ever had to put my foot down more on a set in a way that I had to on Wednesday. Everyhing that Wednesday does, everything I had to play, did not make sense for her character at all.

One of the most popular shows in the history of Netflix will get a second season. On Friday, the streaming service renewed “Wednesday,” weeks after the Addams Family series captured the zeitgeist thanks to its premise and lead performance from Jenna Ortega.

Speaking to Netflix’s own internal media outlet, Tudum, creators, showrunners, and executive producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar said, “It’s been incredible to create a show that has connected with people across the world. Thrilled to continue Wednesday’s tortuous journey into season two. We can’t wait to dive headfirst into another season and explore the kooky spooky world of Nevermore. Just need to make sure Wednesday hasn’t emptied the pool first.”

“Wednesday” focuses on the Addams family’s deadpan daughter. Or more specifically, via Netflix: “The series is a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy,...
