Wednesday 2 (2025) Starring Jenna Ortega and Georgie Farmer

*Wednesday* is a supernatural mystery series that combines gothic horror with edgy black humor, inspired by the iconic Wednesday Addams from *The Addams Family*. Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, the series stars Jenna Ortega in the title role, joined by an impressive cast including Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzman, Isaac Ordonez, Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Fred Armisen, and Christina Ricci.

Tim Burton directed four of the first season’s eight episodes and served as an executive producer. The story follows Wednesday as she uncovers a series of mysterious events involving monsters, murders, and long-buried secrets at the creepy Nevermore Academy.

Burton was already attached to the *Addams Family* universe after turning down the 1991 film and shelving plans for a stop-motion adaptation. It wasn’t until October 2020 that his involvement with the Netflix series was officially announced.

Filmed in Romania between September 2021 and March 2022, *Wednesday* premiered on November 23, 2022, to widespread acclaim, particularly for Ortega’s standout performance. Within two weeks, the series had become Netflix’s third-most-watched English-language series in history. Season 2 promises to delve deeper into the shadows with returning faces and new mysteries awaiting Wednesday Addams.
