Wednesday – Season 2 (2025)
Starring Jenna Ortega and Georgie Farmer, *Wednesday* is a captivating blend of horror and supernatural comedy that brings to life the iconic Wednesday Addams from *The Addams Family*. Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, the series also features an all-star cast, including Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordóñez, Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Fred Armisen, and Christina Ricci.
Directed by Tim Burton, who helmed four of the eight episodes in the first season, *Wednesday* follows the teenage Addams as she delves into a mystery surrounding monsters and dark secrets at her school. Burton, known for his previous involvement with *The Addams Family*—after having turned down directing the 1991 film and a previously canceled stop-motion animation project—finally took on the role of executive producer for this series, which was confirmed in October 2020 and quickly approved by Netflix.
Filming took place in Romania from September 2021 to March 2022, and the series premiered in select regions on November 16, 2022, before its global release on Netflix on November 23. The series received mostly positive reviews, with notable praise for Ortega's performance, although some critics noted similarities to other CW teen dramas. In a remarkable achievement, *Wednesday* became the third most-watched English-language series in Netflix history just two weeks after its premiere.
