Wednesday 2
Wednesday is a supernatural mystery series that brilliantly blends Gothic horror and dark humor, reimagining the iconic Wednesday Addams for a new generation. Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, the series stars Jenna Ortega in her breakout role, alongside a star-studded cast that includes Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez, Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Fred Armisen, and Christina Ricci.
The first season, partly directed by Tim Burton (who directed four of the eight episodes and served as an executive producer), follows Wednesday as she explores the terrifying web of secrets at Nevermore Academy. From monster attacks to buried family legacies, the series plunges viewers into a shadowy world where mystery lurks at every corner.
Despite being repeatedly linked to The Addams Family (he turned down the 1991 film and canceled the stop-motion animation project), Tim Burton only officially joined when Netflix greenlit him in October 2020. Filming took place in Romania from September 2021 to March 2022.
Released on November 23, 2022, Wednesday quickly won over audiences and critics alike. Jenna Ortega’s performance was praised for bringing a new lease of life to the classic character. After just two weeks, the series became the third most-watched English-language show in Netflix history.
Now, Season 2 promises to delve even deeper into the darkness: Wednesday faces new threats, forms unexpected alliances, and uncovers more chilling secrets hidden within Nevermore. The darkness is getting thicker — and Wednesday is ready.
