"Wednesday" Season 2 Eyes Spring Production Start With a Move to Ireland

Netflix‘s most popular series "Wednesday" is heading to a new locale. The upcoming second season of the Addams Family offshoot is moving production from Romania to Ireland for Season 2 and is tentatively scheduled to start shooting in April. 

The eight-episode first season, which originally debuted last November on Netflix, was filmed in Romania from September 2021 to March 2022. 

After breaking multiple streaming series records, including most hours viewed for an English language series in its first week with over 341 million hours, the series was renewed for Season 2 in January.

“Wednesday” follows Jenna Ortega as the titular “Addams Family” character, who enrolls at Nevermore Academy. 

Per the official first season description: "Wednesday attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore.”

Along with Ortega, the cast of Season 1 included Gwendoline Christie, Jamie McShane, Percy Hynes White, Hunter Doohan, Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Naomi J. Ogawa, Moosa Mostafa, Georgie Farmer, Riki Lindhome, and Christina Ricci. 

Catherine Zeta-Jones also appeared as Morticia Addams alongside Luis Guzmán as Gomez and Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley.

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar developed the series, as well as served as co-showrunners and executive producers, with Tim Burton directing the first four episodes and executive producing the first season alongside Steve Stark of Toluca Pictures, Andrew Mittman of 1.21 Entertainment, Kevin Miserocchi of the Tee and Charles Addams Foundation, Kayla Alpert, Jonathan Glickman of Glickmania, Gail Berman, Tommy Harper and Kevin Lafferty. MGM Television is the studio.
