Wednesday wrote, “To My Grim Companions, I offer my thanks for the many hours of blood, sweat, and ominous lighting that went into this production. If I had the capacity for warmth, I might even say it was a pleasure. But let’s not get carried away. Eternally ungrateful, Wednesday Addams.“

Singer/songwriter Lady Gaga didn’t have anything to do with the first season of the hit Netflix Addams Family series Wednesday, but when video clips of Jenna Ortega’s “Goo Goo Muck” dance scene went viral, many fans replaced The Cramps’ song “Goo Goo Muck” with a sped-up version of Lady Gaga’s song “Bloody Mary.” So Wednesday and Lady Gaga have been connected for a while now – and that connection is going to be deepened with the now-in-production season 2, as Deadline reports that Lady Gaga has been added to the cast of the show! Details on the character she’ll be playing have not been revealed.

Netflix is always on the search for their next mega-hit like Stranger Things or Squid Game. While nobody thought that Wednesday was going to take over the world, the series managed to be a cultural touchstone. Jenna Ortega became the idol of a new generation of Goths.

The second season of the show is expected to come out soon, and the series just started production with a look at Wednesday herself and her colorful “best friend” Enid.

Wednesday Season 2 Starts Production

Netflix posted this on their socials:

Season 2 of the hit Netflix Addams Family series Wednesday has been filming in Ireland since May, and Netflix has just unveiled a video that gives a glimpse behind the scenes. In the process, they have also confirmed that the new batch of episodes will premiere sometime in 2025. Among the cast and crew members seen in the video are, of course, star Jenna Ortega, as well as director Tim Burton – and during a chat with Collider, Al Gough (who created this series with Miles Millar) revealed that Burton is directing half of season 2, which is the same thing he did for the first season. That means Burton is at the helm of four of the season’s eight episodes.

Hear those finger snaps? Yep, Season 2 of Wednesday is on the way.

Netflix released a first look at the new season of its hit Addams Family offshoot as part of its Geeked Week event on Thursday. In the behind-the-scenes video — which you can watch above — we see quick snippets of Season 2 being filmed, with Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams brandishing a knife and saying, “Let’s play dolls.”

Jenna Ortega was asked in a Vanity Fair video interview about one of the best pieces of advice she’s ever received from a mentor; her answer traced back to her cello instructor on “Wednesday.” The advice pertains to Ortega’s own doubts and insecurities whenever she’s tackling a new challenge. All the actor has to do in those situations is think like “the average white man.”

“The show that I do right now I have to play the cello, and I don’t play the cello,” Ortega said. “I want it to look real so that cellists don’t look at it and call me mean names. My teacher told me that as long as I look confident in my movements and I was strong and stoic and, you know, fully embodied the character that it would be fine. She told me that I just needed to approach...

Wednesday was one of Netflix’s biggest hits last year, as the supernatural teen drama starring Jenna Ortega in the titular role became a global hit. Of course, a second season was ordered, and while fans probably expected the season to premiere this year, numerous delays resulted in the season probably being pushed back to 2025. At least, this is how things stand based on the filming information we have. Of course, this doesn’t stop us from collecting information about the upcoming season, which is set to premiere on Netflix, and in this report, we have decided to tell you more about the upcoming season.

In this report, as you might have guessed, we are going to bring you all that we know about the upcoming second season of Wednesday in one place. You are going to find out all that we know about the series’ release date, episode count,...

Season 2 of the hit Netflix Addams Family series Wednesday is expected to start filming in Ireland (season 1 was shot in Romania) by the end of this month, and some new cast members are joining in on the fun this time around. Last week, we learned that Steve Buscemi (Fargo) has been cast as the new principal of Nevermore Academy, and now Variety reports that Thandiwe Newton has signed on to play an unspecified role.

Newton’s previous credits include Westworld, All the Old Knives, Solo: A Star Wars Story, Rogue, The Slap, Vanishing on 7th Street, 2012, ER, W., Norbit, The Pursuit of Happyness, Crash, The Chronicles of Riddick, Mission: Impossible II, Beloved, Jefferson in Paris, Interview with the Vampire, and Flirting, among many others.

The first season of Wednesday consisted of eight episodes. The show comes to us from Millar Gough Ink, Tim Burton Productions, Toluca Pictures, and MGM Television,...

The upcoming MCU project, ‘Daredevil: Born Again,’ is stirring up a lot of buzz. Fans are eagerly anticipating it, but its production has faced its share of challenges, including strikes and clashes over creative direction between the showrunners and the studio.

Details about the plot are sparse, but we know that Daredevil will be embarking on a new journey, setting up a law practice while trying to redefine himself. Meanwhile, Kingpin, one of his archenemies, is vying for the position of mayor in New York, a plot point teased in the post-credits scenes of ‘Echo.’

Vincent D’Onofrio will be returning, but he might not be the main antagonist this time around. Rumors suggest that Muse, a villain from Marvel Comics—a twisted serial killer who turns his victims into gruesome art—will take on that role. Muse’s true identity and powers remain shrouded in mystery, but his unyielding ego...

‘Daredevil: Born Again’ is one of the most talked-about upcoming MCU projects, partly due to the fan-fueled hype and partly due to its turbulent production that’s been plagued with everything from SAG-AFTRA strike to creative differences in what the showrunners wanted and what the studio wanted.

Not much is known about the overall plot except for the fact that Daredevil will be starting a new law practice as he is trying to re-invent himself, with Kingpin, one of his greatest enemies running for mayor of New York, something that was foreshadowed in the post-credits scenes of ‘Echo.’

While it is certain that D’Onforio will make a return, he seemingly won’t be the primary villain of the show’s first season as it’s been heavily rumored for at least a couple of months that this honor will go to Muse. Muse is a villain in Marvel Comics...

Season 2 of the hit Netflix Addams Family series Wednesday is expected to start filming in Ireland (season 1 was shot in Romania) sometime in late April, and during an interview with Vanity Fair the show’s star Jenna Ortega confirmed that she is about to get ready to return to the world of Wednesday Addams, revealing that she has been reading the season scripts recently – and promising that every episode of the new season will have something that will make it stand out and be memorable.

Vanity Fair asked Ortega about a previous quote where she said Wednesday season 2 will be more episodic, with each episode coming off like a standalone movie, and that it would lean further into horror. She responded, “I’ve just been reading scripts. By the time we actually start shooting, it will have been over two years since we wrapped. So internally, mentally, I’m like,...

Jenna Ortega is teasing a more terrifying Season 2 of “Wednesday.”

The Netflix series, which landed Ortega her first Emmy nomination, will begin filming in April. Ortega told E! News at the 2023 Emmys on Monday, January 15, that the new scripts lean more into the horror elements of the Tim Burton series. Ortega is also serving as an executive producer for the second season.

“I’ve received some scripts for the second season, and we’re definitely leaning into more horror,” Ortega said. “It’s really, really exciting because, all throughout the show, while Wednesday does need a little bit of an arc, she never really changes, and that’s the wonderful thing about her.

Ortega continued, “There’s really, really good one-liners, and I think everything’s bigger. It’s a lot more action-packed. Each episode will probably feel a little bit more like a movie, which is nice.”

Season 2 also...

Jenna Ortega told E! on the Emmys red carpet that she’s “received some scripts for the second season” of “Wednesday,” her Netflix mega-hit that debuted in fall 2022 and became one of the streamer’s most-watched original series of all time. Production on Season 2 got delayed by the Hollywood strikes last year but is expected to kick off in the spring.

“We’re definitely leaning into a little bit more horror,” Ortega said in an update to fans. “It’s really, really exciting because, all throughout the show, while Wednesday does need a little bit of an arc, she never really changes and that’s the wonderful thing about her.

Ortega continued, “There’s really, really good one-liners and I think everything’s bigger. It’s a lot more action-packed. Each episode will probably feel a little bit more like a movie, which is nice.”

You can’t always count on something that was initially released through a streaming service to receive a physical media release, but one streaming show that’s set to reach Blu-ray and DVD soon is the hit Netflix Addams Family series Wednesday. Season 1 of Wednesday will be getting a Blu-ray and DVD release on March 26th, and copies can be pre-ordered through Amazon! Meanwhile, Wednesday season 2 is gearing up for production. The new episodes are expected to start filming in Ireland (season 1 was shot in Romania) sometime in late April.

The first season of Wednesday consisted of eight episodes. The show comes to us from Millar Gough Ink, Tim Burton Productions, Toluca Pictures, and MGM Television, and is described as a comedic, supernaturally-infused coming-of-age series that follows the teenage girl’s years as a student at Nevermore Academy, where she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous...

It’s never a sure thing for a Netflix Original to get a physical media release, but the streaming service surprises us from time to time. On that note, “Wednesday” is coming to Blu-ray!

“Wednesday” Season One will be available to own on Blu-ray and DVD March 26.

From the creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”), and director Tim Burton (Beetlejuice), the kooky and spooky first season of “Wednesday,” the TV series based on Wednesday Addams of the iconic Addams Family, which streams on Netflix and is produced by MGM Television, a division of Amazon MGM Studios, comes to DVD and Blu-ray March 26, 2024. “Wednesday” Season One will be available to purchase online and in-store from major retailers.

The series stars Jenna Ortega as Wednesday, Gwendoline Christie as Principal Larissa Weems, Jamie McShane as Sheriff Donovan Galpin, Hunter Doohan as Tyler Galpin, Percy Hynes White as Xavier Thorpe, Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair,...

While Netflix awaits Season 2 of its breakout hit “Wednesday,” the latest adaptation of the “Addams Family” franchise, it is already eyeing a way to expand that universe. Variety has confirmed that Netflix and producer MGM Television are indeed aiming to spin off “Wednesday” to focus on Uncle Fester.

Armisen’s casting was a surprise when it was first revealed in October 2022 during a trailer teaser drop. He joined the Addams family that also included star Jenna Ortega (Wednesday Addams), as well as Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams and Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams.

Armisen first rose to prominence via his sketch comedy roles in “Saturday Night Live” and “Portlandia”; in recent years his TV appearances have included “Barry,” “History of the World, Part II,” “Unstable,” “What We Do in the Shadows,” “The Kids in the Hall,” “Our Flag Means Death,” “Schmigadoon,” “Moonbase 8” and “Shrull.

When the writers strike ended near the start of October, we heard that the top priorities at the Netflix streaming service were to get the scripts for Stranger Things season 5 (the final season of that show) and Wednesday season 2 finished. Stranger Things season 5 is expected to go into production any day now, and Deadline reports that Wednesday season 2 is expected to start filming in late April. When this season goes into production, the cast and crew will be reporting to set in an entirely different country than they worked in during the first season. While season 1 was filmed in Romania, season 2 is moving to Ireland.

The Wednesday sets standing in Romania have become a major tourist attraction, but according to Deadline the decision to film the second season in a different country stems from “logistical challenges” the crew ran into while working in Romania.

Wednesday is described as a comedic,...

It will be a minute before season 2 of “Wednesday” will be ready to be devoured by fans. But Jenna Ortega and her co-stars offered an early tease of what’s — or rather, who’s — to come in the Netflix series, which follows the titular (anti-)heroine as she enrolls in Nevermore Academy, a school for troubled outcasts, and investigates a murder mystery.

As part of Netflix’s Tudum fan event in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on Saturday, “Wednesday”‘s Emma Myers, who plays Wednesday’s roommate, Enid Sinclair, shared in a special video that season 2 “was being worked on right now and the storyline is so top secret even we don’t know what’s going to happen.”

But one thing they could tease: Viewers will be introduced to a new member of the Addams family.

“This is true!” Myers, who was joined by castmates Hunter Doohan, who portrays Hyde barista Tyler Galpin,...

The cast of Wednesday made a video appearance at Netflix’s Tudum global fan event in São Paulo, Brazil, and teased that a new Addams family member was joining in Season 2.

Jenna Ortega (Wednesday Addams), Joy Sunday (Bianca Barclay), Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair) and Hunter Doohan (Tyler Galpin) dispelled fan theories and one of them was around speculation there would be a new member of the Addams family showing up.

The cast confirmed the news that viewers would get to see more of Wednesday’s family but did not reveal who it would be. Ortega said she “would love to see Cousin Itt” while the other cast members said they wanted to see Grandma Addams.

Another fan theory that the cast tackled was Gwendoline Christie’s Professor Weems who was seemingly left for dead at the end of the first season. Ortega points out that viewers “never see her funeral...

As part of today’s Tudum fan event, the Netflix streaming service has just unveiled a new video that shows Wednesday cast members Jenna Ortega, Joy Sunday, Emma Myers, and Hunter Doohan discussing some of the theories fans have come up about season 2 – and while doing so they confirm that we’ll be seeing another familiar member of the Addams family in the new season! They just aren’t able to say exactly who that Addams family member is. The video can be seen in the embed above.

Wednesday is described as a comedic, supernaturally-infused coming-of-age series that follows the teenage girl’s years as a student at Nevermore Academy, where she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the town, and solve a mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new relationships at Nevermore. Snap snap.

Ortega...

Wednesday’s second season will be a frightful, boyfriend-free affair.

In a conversation with Elle Fanning for Variety’s Actors on Actors series, star Jenna Ortega revealed that the Netflix show — executive produced by gothic fantasy auteur Tim Burton — will put a greater emphasis on horror.

When the writers room for season 2 of Netflix’s hit Addams Family series Wednesday opened a few months ago, star Jenna Ortega – who will also be receiving a producing credit on the new season – told Jimmy Fallon that they were thinking of boosting the horror aspect of the show and getting Wednesday “out of the romantic situation”. The writers are currently on strike, but Ortega has now confirmed that the plan for Wednesday season 2 is to get rid of the romance and lean into horror.

During a conversation with Elle Fanning for Variety‘s Actors on Actors series, Ortega said, “We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror aspect of the show a little bit more. Because it is so lighthearted, and a show like this with vampires and werewolves and superpowers, you don’t want to take yourself too seriously.” Plus, “We’re ditching any romantic love interest for Wednesday,...

Jenna Ortega may already play the title role in “Wednesday,” but in Season 2, she’ll be taking even more ownership of the project. The 20-year-old star has been elevated to a producing role on the smash hit Netflix series, and during a conversation with Elle Fanning for Variety‘s Actors on Actors, she revealed some of her biggest priorities for the next installation.

“We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror aspect of the show a little bit more,” Ortega told Fanning. “Because it is so lighthearted, and a show like this with vampires and werewolves and superpowers, you don’t want to take yourself too seriously.”

“We’re ditching any romantic love interest for Wednesday, which is really great,” she added, referring to the Season 1 storyline that saw Wednesday in a love triangle between Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan) and Xavier Thorpe (Percy Hynes White). In the past,...

Once Jenna Ortega was hard at work playing the title character on Netflix’s Addams Family series Wednesday, she became so dedicated to making sure the title character came off just right that she would even change lines from the way they were written in the scripts. But during an interview with the UK’s Times, she revealed that she initially passed on the chance to star in Wednesday.

Ortega told the Times (as reported by Deadline), “I got the email, passed on it. I had done so much TV in my life, all I’ve ever wanted to do is film. I was scared that by signing on to another television show it could prevent me from doing other jobs I really wanted and cared about.“

It was the involvement of Tim Burton, who executive produced the series and directed four of the first season’s eight episodes, that...

Jenna Ortega is taking the world by storm after dazzling generations of Addams Family fans with Tim Burton’s Wednesday and going a second round with Ghostface for Scream VI. During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Ortega confirmed the writers for Wednesday are busy penning the sophomore season of Netflix’s Gothic drama. Additionally, Ortega has some ideas about Wednesday Season 2 regarding the show’s approach to horror and romance.

“We just started the writers room. I think we want to up the horror aspect a little bit and then get Wednesday out of the romantic situation, let her be her own individual and fight her own crimes,” Ortega told a giddy Fallon and his audience.

For me, Wednesday is a 10/10 series. However, I welcome the opportunity for more horror in the upcoming season. The romance between Wednesday, Tyler Galpin, and Xavier Thorpe is critical to the first season.

While Tim Burton was behind Netflix‘s Wednesday series, Jenna Ortega brought the macabre teen character to life. The actor and crew spent a long time getting every meticulous detail right. Everything from her hair to Ortega’s blinkless expression. But when it came down to the Wednesday script, Ortega admitted to not being happy about the love triangle and further revealed she had no problem changing a few lines.

The Addams family goth character is infamous for a reason. She was cold, deadly, bizarre, secure in who she was, and did not care what others thought. While Christina Ricci made Wednesday a pop culture icon in the 90s, Ortega gave Wednesday a more modern spin with a supernatural twist. Unlike the movies,...

Jenna Ortega, star of Netflix’s hit Addams Family series Wednesday, has previously said she had to struggle with directors on the show who didn’t always trust the approach she was taking to the character. Starting with Tim Burton, who directed half of the show’s first season and didn’t want Ortega to show any expression or emotion at all. Something she didn’t feel would work for a lead character who had to push the plot forward. Now in an interview with Variety, Ortega revealed that she also had to change lines from the scripts because they weren’t true to her character.

Ortega said, “I don’t think I’ve ever had to put my foot down more on a set in a way that I had to on Wednesday. Everyhing that Wednesday does, everything I had to play, did not make sense for her character at all.

Netflix‘s Wednesday series divided fans over how to feel about Tyler Galpin. The sweet and unassuming local coffee shop barista has everyone swooning. When first meeting Wednesday Addams, he was not driven away by her macabre demeanor. But as the series went on, his truth was revealed. Emma Myers believes Tyler deserves to be given more insight into what led to his dark storyline in Wednesday Season 2.

Hunter Doohan as Tyler in ‘Wednesday’ finale | via Netflix Tyler is revealed to be the Hyde killing normies in ‘Wednesday’

The brown-eyed Tyler had everyone fooled. He first meets Wednesday at the coffee shop and agrees to help her get out of town. Fans soon begin to see the development of a romance between the two characters and a love triangle with Xavier in Wednesday. Tyler showed promise as a love interest as he accepts Wednesday for who she is, while the normies are afraid of her.

The smash hit Netflix series Wednesday has fans hoping for a Wenclair romance. While Wednesday Addams found herself in the middle of a love triangle between Xavier Thorpe and Tyler Galpin, there was a strong underlying bond between Enid and the goth teen. As Wednesday Season 2 has been greenlighted, Emma Myers hopes Wednesday takes some time away from romance and focuses on being single.

While Wednesday is transferred to Nevermore Academy, she is the odd one out of a whole school of outcasts. She captured the interest of tortured artist Xavier, who once dated the Queen Bee Bianca. Hoping to find a way out of town, she meets Tyler, a local barista. Her gothic and macabre nature does not frighten him, and he becomes an ally.

As the series progresses, Wednesday...

Exclusive: Hunter Doohan (Wednesday) has signed with WME.

Most recently, Doohan portrayed Tyler Galpin a local barista with a special connection to the show’s titular character (played by Jenna Ortega) in Season 1 of the hit Netflix series Wednesday which premiered in November. Following Wednesday‘s rating success, it was renewed for a second season.

Doohan is also known for starring opposite Bryan Cranston in the series Your Honor for Showtime, has recurred on Apple TV’s Truth Be Told as a younger Aaron Paul, and guest-starred on Schooled for ABC and What/If for Netflix. Additionally, he played Confederado Scout in Season 2 of HBO’s Westworld.

In 2017, Doohan was one of the top ten finalists in the 2017 ABC Discovers: Digital Talent Competition. He won best actor at the 2019 Nova Film Festival for his lead role in the feature Soundwave and has been nationally recognized and awarded for his theatrical performances.

Netflix has officially confirmed Wednesday will return for season two. The announcement was accompanied by a one-minute video in which Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) says thanks for being put through pure torture. (We all know how much Wednesday loves that!).

The video points out that over the course of a few weeks, she was hunted, haunted, and mimicked across the internet. Wednesday’s loving it and so are viewers who’ve made the series the second most popular show ever on Netflix.

“It’s been incredible to create a show that has connected with people across the world. Thrilled to continue Wednesday’s tortuous journey into season two. We can’t wait to dive headfirst into another season and explore the kooky spooky world of Nevermore. Just need to make sure Wednesday hasn’t emptied the pool first,” said creators, showrunners, and executive producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar in a feature on Tudum.

We'll file this one under the least surprising news of the year.

Netflix has confirmed the record-breaking smash hit Wednesday will return for a second season.

Season two details and additional information will be shared at a later time.

In an exclusive interview with Tudum.com, Creators/Showrunners/Executive Producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar said:

"Thrilled to continue Wednesday's tortuous journey into season two."

"We can't wait to dive head first into another season and explore the kooky spooky world of Nevermore."

"Just need to make sure Wednesday hasn't emptied the pool first."

Jenna Ortega has inspired a new TikTok trend thanks to her epic dance scene in Netflix’s record-breaking new series “Wednesday”.

Since episode four of the “Addams Family” spin-off series, Ortega has become a viral dancing queen, prompting thousands of fans, including Lady Gaga and Kim Kardashian and her daughter North, to re-create her titular character Wednesday Addams’ intense dance number on the popular app. Now, the actress is sharing details on how the viral dance came to be.

“Initially, they wanted a flash mob, but I thought, no, there’s no way Wednesday would be cool with dancing and encouraging a bunch of people,” the 20-year-old star told Jimmy Fallon on Friday’s episode of “The Tonight Show”. “The director, Tim Burton, and I talked about it a little bit, and he said, ‘Yeah, let’s not do a circle. Let’s have it be her own thing.'...

The Addams Family series Wednesday has turned out to be a massive hit for the Netflix streaming service – in fact, in less than a month of release, it has already become Netflix’s second-most popular English-language series of all time. So there seems to be almost no question that we’re going to be getting Wednesday season 2… Netflix just hasn’t officially ordered it yet. And while speaking to Variety about the show’s success, Netflix executive Peter Friedlander (the service’s head of U.S. and Canada scripted series) still couldn’t confirm if or when that new season order is going to be made.

Friedlander told Variety, “I have nothing to confirm at this time. I am optimistic about Wednesday. We’ll leave it at that. Weirdly, because it feels different, but we’re just two weeks into the launch of Wednesday. So we’re still really at...

Netflix has found another hit in the Jenna Ortega-led drama series Wednesday.

The streaming service announced Tuesday that the Addams Family series amassed a further 411.29 million hours viewed in its second week.

In just two weeks, the new comedy mystery is now Netflix’s third Most Popular English-language TV series ever with 752.52M hours viewed, behind Stranger Things 4 and Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.

Netflix has yet to officially pick up a second season of Wednesday, but these numbers are excellent.

It will likely be around for several years,...

"Wednesday" is Netflix's latest hit series. The show, which premiered on Nov. 23, is now the streaming platform's most watched English-language series in a week, per Forbes. The fourth season of "Stranger Things" previously held the title, which goes to show just how much fans are loving this new iteration of Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega. In this version, Wednesday is a teenager who's honing in her psychic abilities at Nevermore Academy. There, we meet an interesting set of characters, including Wednesday's handsome love interest, Tyler Galpin.

Arkansas-born actor Hunter Doohan portrays Tyler. You may recognize Hunter from other series like "Your Honor," "Truth Be Told," "Schooled," and more. While the star has a number of acting credits to his name, his role as Tyler is stealing everyone's hearts. Fans can't get over his character's crush on Wednesday and wonder whether the two will eventually become a couple, especially...

Netflix's much-anticipated original series "Wednesday" came out over the Thanksgiving weekend, adding a touch of horror to the festive season. This coming-of-age show follows the titular character, Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), during her first term at Nevermore Academy, a school for Outcasts, young adults who are mythical beings like sirens and werewolves or possess magical abilities.

Wednesday begins to uncover her own psychic abilities as the school's town of Jericho deals with vicious attacks from a mysterious monster. Not one to shy away from spookiness, Wednesday becomes immediately intrigued by investigating the beast terrorizing townies and students at Nevermore. But who, or what, is the monster in Wednesday?

Who Is The Hyde Monster in "Wednesday"?

Wednesday believes the monster terrorizing the town is Xavier Thorpe (Percy Hynes White), an artist and psychic student at Nevermore who immediately takes a liking to Wednesday. Xavier has the unique gift of bringing his drawings to life.

This article contains spoilers for Wednesday.

On Wednesday, Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) sets out to distinguish herself from The Addams Family, and extinguish anything standing in the way. Tim Burton’s take on Charles Addams’ perennially ooky characters is unique. They don’t refract the broken mirrors of regular people. Wednesday neuters that possibility in the opening sequence, and is tossed off into a very alternative school, filled with cryptic coeds. The outcast among outcasts spends the semester trying to solve the mystery of the Hyde.

Created for the mythology of the series, the Hyde is enigmatic, symptomatic, and symbolic. Nevermore Academy’s founder, Nathaniel Faulkner, cataloged all the outcast communities of the world which would be welcome at the school, and contains a chapter on the Hyde. According to the diaries, Hydes are “artists by nature, but equally vindictive in temperament.” That could describe Nevermore’s most famous graduate,...

Wednesday is shaping up to be one of Netflix's biggest hits.

The streaming service announced this week that the Jenna Ortega-led series amassed 341.23 million hours viewed in its first week of availability.

The numbers mark the most hours viewed in a week for an English-language TV series on the service, besting Stranger Things Season 4.

Stranger Things returned after a multi-year hiatus, with 335.01 million hours viewed in its first week on the air.

However, given that Stranger Things premiered on a Friday, its total tally included three days of numbers compared to the five days for Wednesday due to its Friday premiere.

It is nice that Netflix is giving numbers because many other streaming services keep the numbers hidden.

It would be great if there was a fairer way of measuring success, but Wednesday could be in line for a bigger-than-expected drop in its second week.

The numbers are huge for the streaming service.

Wednesday Addams cracked the case. Everyone’s favorite macabre teen made her triumphant return to screens in “Wednesday,” produced by Tim Burton, facing her toughest battle of all: high school at Nevermore Academy.

The title character, played by Jenna Ortega, spends the majority of the Netflix series’ first season consumed by a murder mystery she believes herself to be at the center of that involves both Nevermore and Jericho, the town in which the school is located.

In the season finale, it’s uncovered that Nevermore teacher Marilyn Thornhill is actually Laurel Gates, a descendant of Jericho’s founder, Joseph Crackstone.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Wednesday Season 1, Episodes 1-8.] Wednesday may have centered around the titular Addams Family daughter played by Jenna Ortega, but much of the series followed her efforts to uncover the story behind a string of mysterious deaths in the local town where her new school Nevermore Academy resides. Almost as soon as Wednesday arrived, she began investigating while also falling into an unexpected romance with a coffee shop worker and believed normie, Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan), the son of Jericho’s small-town Sheriff. But over time, the pieces begin falling into place as the crimes start overlapping with Tyler’s presence, and Wednesday has a vision involving the young man. Ultimately, she learns that Laurel Gates, a.k.a. Ms. Thornhill, played by Christina Ricci, is responsible for motivating Tyler’s attacks as a Hyde, using his powers to help gather the necessary ingredients to resurrect her ancestor Joseph Crackstone, a pilgrim determined to ...

Is there anything Jenna Ortega can’t do? In the new Netflix series, “Wednesday,” Ortega takes on the role of Wednesday Addams, and as part of her prep process, she had to learn how to play the cello. She also took on the role of a choreographer to execute one of the series’ most memorable moments.

Episode four, titled “Woe What a Night,” sees the students of Nevermore Academy, the school for outcasts, attend the Rave’N dance. Wednesday reluctantly attends with Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan). As The Cramps’ “Goo Goo Muck” plays, Wednesday takes to the dance floor and throws out her kookiest of moves.

In a recent behind-the-scenes video, Ortega and her fellow castmates watch the scene, and she reveals, “I actually felt really insecure about this. I choreographed that myself and I think it’s very obvious that I’m not a dancer or choreographer.”

In a recent interview with Vulture,...

Plot: The series is a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy, where she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the murder mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore.

Review: Back in 1991, Tim Burton reluctantly passed on directing The Addams Family due to production on Batman Returns. Barry Sonnenfeld took the reins which led to the film becoming a financial success for Orion Pictures. Despite multiple lackluster live-action sequels, Burton was once again linked to a 2010 stop-motion animated reboot for Universal and Illumination Entertainment. MGM eventually delivered two CGI features which garnered mixed to negative reviews. Now, Tim Burton finally gets to lend his signature style to The Addams Family with Wednesday, a dark series centered on the eldest Addams daughter.
