Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, "Wednesday" made its Netflix debut in November 2022. This series shines a spotlight on its titular character, a member of the iconic Addams family. While Christina Ricci famously portrayed her in the movies, Jenna Ortega steps into the shoes of the morbidly witty and sarcastic teenager for the small screen. Throughout the first season, she delves into a mystery involving several murders, making new friends and foes at Nevermore Academy.

After its release, the series has proven to be a phenomenal success, clinching the top spot in 83 countries. It set a new record for the most hours watched during the first week of any English-language Netflix series, amassing 341 million hours and reaching over 50 million households. This achievement surpassed the previous record held by the fourth season of "Stranger Things," which garnered 335 million hours.

In the overall Netflix history books, "Wednesday" secures third place for viewership within the first 28 days of its premiere, trailing only behind "Stranger Things" and "Squid Game," with the latter holding the top position.

"Wednesday" - Anticipating the Second Season

Given its monumental success, it was hardly surprising when Netflix quickly confirmed that a second season was in the pipeline. Nevertheless, fans hoping for a 2024 release may find themselves disappointed. According to What's on Netflix, production for the sequel is slated to run from April to November this year. The upcoming season will be filmed in County Wicklow, along the picturesque coastline of the Irish Sea in eastern Ireland—a location also chosen for "Vikings: Valhalla."

Netflix is looking for teenagers and adults of "diverse ethnic backgrounds," particularly interested in "unique looks, quirky styles, and unusual characteristics," including twins and triplets.

All signs point to the second "Wednesday" season, likely dropping around spring 2025. The storyline is expected to delve deeper into Morticia and Wednesday's relationship, with a setting primarily at the Addams' residence and nods to classic horror films. Additionally, there will be a shift away from the romantic storyline.
