🎬 Wednesday - Season 2 (2025)
👉 Starring Jenna Ortega and Georgie Farmer
Wednesday is an American horror series that blends supernatural comedy, based on the iconic character Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family. Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, the series stars Jenna Ortega, along with an outstanding cast that includes Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordóñez, Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Fred Armisen, and Christina Ricci.
Tim Burton directs four of the eight episodes of the first season and is also an executive producer. The plot follows Wednesday as she tries to unravel a mystery involving monsters and dark secrets at her school.
Interestingly, Burton had already been linked to previous projects related to The Addams Family: he turned down directing the 1991 film, and his proposal for a stop-motion animated film was canceled. It wasn't until October 2020 that her participation in this television series was confirmed, and Netflix approved it shortly after.
Filming took place in Romania between September 2021 and March 2022. The series premiered on November 16, 2022, in some territories and officially arrived on Netflix on November 23. It received mostly positive reviews, highlighting Jenna Ortega's performance, although some noted similarities to the CW's teen dramas.
In just two weeks, Wednesday became the third most-watched English-language series in Netflix history.
