Wednesday – Season 2 (2025)

Starring Jenna Ortega and Georgie Farmer
Wednesday is an American television series that seamlessly blends horror, supernatural intrigue, and dark humor, inspired by the legendary Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family. Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, the series features Jenna Ortega in a career-defining role, supported by an exceptional cast that includes Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez, Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Fred Armisen, and Christina Ricci.

In its first season, visionary filmmaker Tim Burton directed four of the eight episodes and served as executive producer. The story follows Wednesday as she unravels a chilling mystery, tangled with monsters and long-hidden secrets at her enigmatic school. Burton’s history with The Addams Family goes back decades: he once turned down directing the 1991 film, and its stop-motion adaptation was ultimately shelved. It wasn’t until October 2020 that his involvement in this Netflix reimagining was officially confirmed, and the streaming giant quickly greenlit the project.

Filming took place in Romania between September 2021 and March 2022. The series premiered in select regions on November 16, 2022, before its worldwide Netflix debut on November 23. It received widespread critical acclaim, with particular praise for Jenna Ortega’s captivating performance, though some critics noted tonal similarities to The CW’s teen dramas.

In just two weeks, Wednesday became the third most-watched English-language series in Netflix history, cementing its status as a modern pop culture phenomenon
