Wednesday stars Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, Gwendoline Christie as Larissa Weems, Riki Lindhome as Dr. Valerie Kinbott, Jamie McShane as Donovan Galpin, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, and many more.

Wednesday will stay on Netflix for Season 2

People began speculating that the Netflix series could be moving to Prime Video since it is an MGM Television production. Moreover, The Independent also reported that there is a huge possibility of that happening.

Netflix for the time being hasn’t announced the renewal of the show, but showrunners are already scouting locations and planning for a second season. In its first 28 days, Season 1 was streamed for 1.237 billion hours, making it Netflix’s No. 2 English-language TV series of all time, behind Stranger Things season 4.

The horror comedy is based on The Addams Family, a fictional family created by American cartoonist Charles Addams. The Addams Family has seen several shows, movies, and animated series under its banner, with Wednesday being the latest.

What is Wednesday about?

The Netflix series centres on the weird yet endearing high school student Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, who gets expelled from her school after throwing live piranhas into the campus pool.

She gets enrolled in Nevermore Academy, a private school for monstrous outcasts, in the town of Jericho, Vermont, where she uses her psychic abilities to solve a murder mystery. These abilities are acquired from her mother, Mortician Addams played by Catherine Zeta-Jones.

The show’s IMDB description reads:

Season 1 consists of 8 episodes in total, with all of them getting released at once on November 23, 2022. Within three weeks of its release, it became the second-most-watched English-language Netflix series, and received two Golden Globe nominations: Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy, and Best Actress – Television Series Musical or Comedy for Ortega.

Four out of the eight episodes were directed by Tim Burton. When asked if he desires to take on more TV projects, he said:

The show was created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar with music helmed by Danny Elfman and Chris Bacon.
