Season 2 confirmation by Netflix
Following the immense success of Netflix and Tim Burton’s standalone series Wednesday, featuring Jenna Ortega, the streaming giant swiftly announced its renewal for a second season in January 2023. This decision materialized within a mere three months after the premiere of Season 1, which comprised eight episodes and swiftly claimed the title of the most-watched original series on Netflix. Surpassing notable contenders like Stranger Things Season 4, Dahmer, and Bridgerton Season 1, Wednesday amassed a staggering 252 million views, solidifying its place as a streaming phenomenon
Achievements of Wednesday season 1?
The inaugural season of Wednesday achieved remarkable recognition, securing a remarkable 12 Emmy nominations. Among these, Jenna Ortega earned a nod in the Lead Actress in a Comedy Series category, marking her as the third Latina to ever receive such an esteemed nomination in a leading actress category. Despite Ortega’s individual recognition, the series clinched four Emmy wins. However, on the Emmy night, Ortega faced competition from Quinta Brunson of Abbott Elementary, who ultimately emerged victorious in the Lead Actress category.
As Season 1 drew to a close, the show’s accolades and viewer engagement painted a vivid picture of its impact, leaving an indelible mark on the streaming landscape.
What is the Netflix release date of Wednesday season 2?
Production setbacks ensued for the MGM Television-produced series due to the Hollywood strikes in 2023, causing a delay in the return to filming. However, November 2023 brought confirmation that Season 2 would commence shooting in late April 2024, with Ireland chosen as the new filming location. This marks a departure from Season 1, which was filmed in Romania, where the series’ popularity turned the locale into a tourist attraction. Despite the success, logistical challenges necessitated the move to Ireland. As of now, Netflix has not announced a premiere date for the upcoming season.
Wednesday season 2 plot
Details surrounding the Season 2 plot remain shrouded in mystery. Al Gough and Miles Millar, the creators, have dropped hints suggesting the introduction of additional Addams family members, a notion confirmed by the cast during a Tudum appearance. Despite this confirmation, they remained tight-lipped about specific details. Moreover, there are indications of an expanded universe, with a spinoff series centered around Uncle Fester already in development by Netflix and series producer MGM Television. Fred Armisen, who portrayed Fester, the bald yet tender-hearted brother of Gomez Addams, made a guest appearance in Season 1, aiding Wednesday and Thing in a challenging situation at Nevermore Academy.
Gough and Millar have hinted at further exploration of Wednesday’s relationship with her mother, portrayed by Catherine Zeta-Jones in Season 1, receiving more screen time in the upcoming Season 2. Jenna Ortega, now serving as an executive producer, has indicated a shift in focus towards horror rather than teen romance, a departure from the subtle flirtation with the latter in Season 1. This suggests a deliberate move towards intensifying the horror elements in the new season.
Ortega shared insights into Season 2 on the Emmys red carpet, expressing that everything in the upcoming season is on a grander scale. She anticipates a heightened level of action, describing each episode as potentially feeling more like a movie, offering viewers a more cinematic experience.
