WEDNESDAY Season 2
Wednesday is an American coming-of-age supernatural comedy horror television series based on the character Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family. Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, it stars Jenna Ortega as the titular character, with Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis GuzmΓ‘n, Isaac Ordonez, Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Fred Armisen, and Christina Ricci in supporting roles. Four of the eight episodes are directed by Tim Burton, who also serves as an executive producer. The story revolves around the titular character, who attempts to solve a
monster mystery at her school.
Burton was previously associated with two Addams Family-related projects: the 1991 film, which he passed on, and a canceled stop-motion animated film. In October 2020, it was reported that he would be helming a television series, which was later given a series order by Netflix. Filming took place in Romania between September 2021 and March 2022. Wednesday premiered on November 16, 2022, and was released on Netflix on November 23 to generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Ortega’s performance but found some similarities to CW dramas. Within two weeks of its release, it became the third-most watched English-language series on Netflix.
