The long wait is over for fans of Netflix's most popular series, Wednesday, as the writer and actor strikes that kept productions on hiatus came to an end. Starring Jenna Ortega (Scream 6), the series dives into the life of Wednesday Addams during her student years, where she struggles to control her growing psychic abilities while trying to solve the mysteries surrounding her peculiar parents. According to a Deadline release, the second season of The Addams Family will start filming in Ireland, unlike the first installment which was in Romania in September 2021. Many details about the next season are still missing, but all indications are that filming will begin in April 2024.
The theme of the second season is still an enigma, but fans hope a significant change of tone. However, in the same release, all indications are that the plot will focus more on horror than teen romance, marking a contrast with the first season. In addition, we could expect the appearance of more members of the Addams family, exploring in depth the relationship between Merlina and her mother.
Jenna Ortega, who not only stars as the lead but also takes on the role of producer for the second season, has an eventful future. In addition to her participation in Wednesday, the actress will play the daughter of Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder) in the highly anticipated sequel to Beetlejuice.
Wednesday was one of last year's Netflix phenomena. The series quickly caught the attention of the public because it is a reboot of one of the best known families in fiction, The Addams, but this time, from the mind of the renowned filmmaker, Tim Burton. You can stream the first season on Netflix.
