When a new Netflix Original comes out, there’s a high chance it will end up being an absolute hit. It was the exact case with Wednesday, the series based on the character of the same name coming from the iconic Addams Family.
So when in November 2022 the series was released, in just a few days the show broke so many records becoming number one in all sorts of charts that it was easy to understand there’s no way back: a second season was coming.
However, there was a lot of beef about the writing decisions made in the series, with the main one being the infamous love triangle between Wednesday, Tyler, and Xavier. The fans hated the trio’s love story and were begging the execs to cut it off in the upcoming season.
Instead, a completely different pairing gained a huge following as the fandom started shipping Wednesday with her friend Enid.

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 we know that the series is going to begin production later this year, probably eyeing a 2025 release date, although we still don’t have any precise confirmation about the release. Numerous rumors have been circulating in the past months about the cast of the new season, and we’ve finally received a major update that confirms all the major names we are going to see in the upcoming season.
The list is quite comprehensive, as we now know all the main actors who are going to be back for the second season, as well as those who’ve been upped to series regulars. Some guest stars have also been confirmed, as well as recurring characters, but...

Netflix on Tuesday morning unveiled the series regular and guest cast for the upcoming second season of its hit Addams Family spinoff series Wednesday, headlined by Jenna Ortega.
As the announcement suggests — and Deadline has confirmed with sources — three Season 1 series regulars whose characters were alive and well in the finale — Percy Hynes White, Jamie McShane and Naomi J Ogawa — will not be returning in that capacity next season.
Of the three, only McShane is slated to reprise his Sheriff Donovan Galpin role as a guest star, likely to wrap the story of his character who was left devastated in the Season 1 finale by the discovery that his son Tyler (Hunter Doohan) was the Hyde after the sheriff shot and temporarily incapacitated the monster.
In the final minutes of the episode, Tyler was arrested but tried to escape by changing into a Hyde. His storyline will carry on as Doohan...

So, a year after the renewal, during Tudum in January 2024, it was officially revealed that in addition to Jenna Ortega, the second season will star Emma Myers, Joy Sunday and none other than Hunter Doohan, who appeared in the first season as Tyler Galpin, the son of the local sheriff, the romantic interest of Wednesday and ultimately a threat to Nevermore and all of Jericho, being a dangerous monster Hyde.

My standard complaint about the Black Hammer comics is that they’re mostly static, locked into an initial premise that wasn’t all that exciting to begin with. I suppose that’s in distinction to “real” superhero comics, which rely on the façade of change – someone is always dying, someone’s costume is always changing, someone is always making a heel-face turn, and worlds are inevitably always living and dying so that nothing will ever be the same – but it’s not self-reflective enough to count as irony.
But some kinds of stories aren’t supposed to change anything – the whole point is that they don’t, and can’t, change the things we already know. Jam comics by entirely different creators tend to fall into that bucket: they’re sometimes “real” and sometimes not, but even if they’re canonical, they don’t push the canon in any direction.

“Wednesday’s child is full of woe.”
When Charles Addams was helping turn his amusing gothic New Yorker cartoons into a television series, the little girl needed a name, and he used a line from an old-time children’s poem. He’d been at the drawing board with these characters since 1938, although Gomez and Morticia’s daughter didn’t arrive until 1944. At different times, she was older or younger than her sibling, Pugsley.
Ever since her arrival, Wednesday has been a fixture, her pale skin, pig-tailed black hair, and solemn expression imprinted on future generations of Goth girls. From Lisa Loring to Christina Ricci, the live-action look has endured as the character has aged from her purported six years old in the original series pilot to 18 in the 2010 Broadway musical adaptation.

Thora Birch has been performing in Hollywood since she was just a tiny tyke, famously playing Dani Dennison in the cult Halloween classic "Hocus Pocus," where she becomes the target of the malevolent Sanderson sisters. But although one of her most memorable roles came in 1993, when she was just 11 years old, that was far from the end of her career as an actress. Birch has continued to work in the industry, lending her talents to television series, films, music videos, and even podcasts over the years.
Birch's career has been defined by a few standout performances in films that captured the imaginations of audiences everywhere, but one of the most inspiring aspects of her time in Hollywood is that whenever she has been in danger of being completely subsumed by these larger-than-life roles, she shifts gears, navigating a career as a performer on her own terms.

It's been almost a full year since the first season of "Wednesday" arrived on Netflix, starring Jenna Ortega's sardonic goth teenage student-turned-detective version of the "Addams Family" character. But since the show premiered after Halloween, it looks like Netflix wanted to wait until it was prime time for the creepy and kooky character to begin a proper merchandise push from the usual suspects like Funko and Loungefly.
While we wait for a second season of "Wednesday" to come to fruition, a small collection of Funko POPs and Loungefly bags and accessories inspired by Wednesday Addams have been released. Not only has Jenna Ortega and her black striped ensemble been brought to life in collectible figurine and mini backpack form, but her unlikely friend and polar opposite, Enid Sinclair, has been given a Funko Pop too.

This story about “Wednesday” costume designer Colleen Atwood first appeared in the Down to the Wire: Comedy issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
When Colleen Atwood was a child, her parents had a Charles Addams sketch hanging on a wall in their home. So when the four-time Oscar winner was hired to design the costumes for Netflix’s “Wednesday,” she was well acquainted with the world of the amusingly macabre clan that Addams first created in comic strip form in 1938.
For Atwood, the challenge was to honor that legacy while bringing Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday and Pugsley Addams (plus Thing!) into the 21st century.
“My vision for the costumes was a contemporary connectivity feeling, for young people to see the Addams family as people, as opposed to cartoonish,” she said.

The most recent episode of And Just Like That… brought the return of icy but beloved Enid Frick, Carrie Bradshaw’s Vogue editor. The famed character first appeared in the tail end of Sex and the City. Two years after Sex and the City wrapped, Meryl Streep took on the role of Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada. Fans quickly noticed the similarities between the two characters, both appearing to have been based on the real-life Vogue editor, Anna Wintour. The fourth episode of season 2, “Alive!,” just revealed that Enid and Miranda have something else in common; they live in the same house.
Enid Frick and Miranda Priestly seem to be based on the same person
When Carrie Bradshaw was hired as a freelancer for Vogue, she came face-to-face with one of her toughest critics. Enid Frick, the editor of Vogue, didn’t find Carrie Bradshaw charming or cute.

With Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) back in New York City, the original gang, including Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte York Goldenblatt (Kristin Davis), and honorary member Anthony Marantino (Mario Cantone), is able to meet up for lunch for some gossip and dirty talk, just like the old days.
There are quips about Miranda’s new fluid lifestyle with Anthony calling her “Rachel Maddow.” There are not-so-subtle euphemisms on Charlotte’s part — mayo, confetti, and a finale of fireworks (Happy July 4th!), no less — and at the heart of it, there’s the friendships fans of the original “Sex and the City...

This story about the production design of “Wednesday” first appeared in the Comedy Series issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
Creepy. Kooky. Spooky. Ooky. All of these adjectives are naturally in play when you’re adapting a spinoff series of “The Addams Family” — even more so when Tim Burton is your boss. For “Wednesday” production designer Mark Scruton, that made him as happy as Wednesday Addams witnessing a torture chamber.
“When I got this gig, I very consciously did not watch any of [the past adaptations],” Scruton said. “I did go back to the Charles Addams cartoons very specifically, but we wanted to take it back to that original core look and aesthetic. Tim responds to his heart and he’s a minimalist and likes things very precise and composed, rather than lots of background fluff, so it was a great jumping-off point for us.”

Wednesday showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar remember vividly the unusual circumstances of their first conversation with Tim Burton. The filmmaker, who they hoped they could convince to join their show, was piping in from a garden full of “life-size” dinosaur models at his U.K. home. “He was wandering around his dinosaur garden talking to us on FaceTime about his love of Wednesday Addams, and the idea that the script spoke to him in terms of being the ultimate outsider,” remembers Millar of this virtual meeting in 2020 with Burton. Just a week before, the duo were doubtful Burton would even meet with them. They had already written the entire season with the help of a pandemic-era virtual writers room, but wanted Burton’s expertise and special touches. “We were told by everyone, ‘Tim’s never done television. We don’t even know if he’ll read it,’ ” recalls Gough.

“And Just Like That” some more familiar faces are joining the cast of the “Sex and the City” reboot for season 2.
Per Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Michael Patrick King has confirmed that Candice Bergen, who played Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker)’s Vogue editor, Enid Frick, in “Satc” and the first of the first of the franchise’s films, is officially reprising her role.
“Candice Bergen is back as Enid, which we’re thrilled about because I always loved Enid,” King told the magazine. “She is a cold, wonderful diva of publishing.”
Last viewers saw Enid was in the “Sex and the City” movie in 2008. Fans of the film recall Enid asking Carrie to model in Vogue as the magazine’s “The Last Single Girl” for their bridal issue, ahead of her wedding to the now deceased “Mr. Big” (Chris Noth).

Christina Ricci came to fame at just 10 years of age when she took on the role of Wednesday Addams in 1991’s “The Addams Family.” She gave the character a deadpan aura and the actress is still best-known for this sardonic wit. Ricci reprised the role in 1993’s “Addams Family Values,” where she solidified her take on the character, who was 12-13 years old in the movies, as the defining one. Three decades later, she returned to the world of “The Addams Family” in Netflix’s “Wednesday “— but not as Wednesday Addams.
Instead, that role went to Jenna Ortega, who is re-defining the character, now age 16, with her uber-popular performance. The comedy series sees Wednesday enrolling at Nevermore Academy. Ricci plays Marilyn Thornhill — Nevermore Academy’s science teacher and Wednesday’s dorm mother. At first, it seemed like Marilyn would be a neat little cameo-like role for Ricci that would satisfy fans of the original movies.

Slasher: Ripper follows a mysterious serial killer in 19th-century Toronto amidst other violent acts committed by the people of the city. But “Widow,” as the killer is dubbed by Enid Jenkins, the town’s journalist, isn’t killing random people; everything relates to a particular event that took place 12 years ago. Young Detective Kenneth is right on target in his search for the Widow, but his boss isn’t keen on finding out who is after his city because he may have been involved in the crime that went down 12 years ago. Slasher is definitely for pure indulgence, as every episode ends or begins with a grisly death that the viewer looks forward to; sometimes, it almost feels like an overacted play.

Netflix, perennially a key player in the Emmy race, is launching its 2023 Emmy campaigns on Wednesday with a, well, Wednesday-themed stunt.

Additionally, The Hollywood Reporter has learned, Netflix will — for the fifth year in a row, but for the first year at Red Studios at 846 N. Cahuenga Blvd. in Los Angeles — welcome TV Academy members to an elaborate “FYSee Space” at which it will showcase activations and host star-studded panels and performances in promotion of its numerous Emmy hopefuls.

In episode 1 of “Slasher: Ripper,” we saw that a woman in a black veil was going around killing men who might have been involved in a murder 12 years earlier. She is ruthless in her killings and has left a subtle note in the first one of her murders to warn the perpetrators of the said murders. A detective named Kenneth is slowly but surely getting on the “widow’s” trail (as she is dubbed by the local journalist). On the other hand, the Botticelli household has a new sister in town, but she is being treated as an intruder and punished for sins she did not commit by her elder sisters. A man named Basil Garvey looks to be at the center of it all, with many enemies. Will this power-hungry man face his enemies soon?

“Rabbit Hole” stars Kiefer Sutherland as a corporate espionage consultant who must go on the run after being framed for murder by a shadowy but powerful group, a character that is used to being on the receiving end of punches, quite unlike the character he’s best known for on “24.”
The Paramount+ series pairs Sutherland with “Crazy, Stupid Love,” “This is Us” and “WeCrashed” writer-directors John Requa and Glenn Ficarra. When they pitched him on a series that’s a throwback to ’70s conspiracy thrillers “Three Days of the Condor” and “Marathon Man” and “The Parallax View,” he was fully on board. “I’m so lucky that they called me first,” Sutherland told TheWrap ahead of the series premiere on March 26.

Get ready to dance, dance, dance, with your hands, hands, hands raised in celebration because Wednesday Season 2 is happening on Netflix! File this news in the “no shit” drawer because after crossing 1 billion hours on the Netflix chart, there was no way the streaming platform would let this money-maker take a dirt nap. It only took a month for Wednesday to overtake Dahmer, becoming the second-most watched show in the U.S. behind Stranger Things Season 4.
Plot details for Wednesday Season 2 remain more mysterious than how Thing can see as he skitters around, but half the fun of these announcements is speculating about what may come. I suspect Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers will return as Wednesday Addams and Enis Sinclair, respectively. I also think Joy Sunday will return as the Siren Bianca Barclay to deal with lingering family matters presented in the first season. Will Gwendoline Christie’s Principal...

It looks like we'll get the chance to see who's sending Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) those creepy texts after all: Netflix's Addams Family-inspired series, "Wednesday," has just been renewed for a second season that will continue her journey at Nevermore Academy.
"It's been incredible to create a show that has connected with people across the world," series co-creators, showrunners, and executive producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar told Tudum in response to the news. The pair say they're "thrilled to continue Wednesday's tortuous journey into season two, and "can't wait to dive head first into another season and explore the kooky spooky world of Nevermore." In a nod to Wednesday's notorious piranha incident and general knack for sadistic trickery, they add, "Just need to make sure Wednesday hasn't emptied the pool first."

In Netflix’s smash hit “Wednesday,” the titular Addams daughter (played by Jenna Ortega) meets a lot of foils during her adventures at Nevermore Academy. Chief among them is her roommate Enid (Emma Myers), a spunky girlie-girl — and a werewolf. To prepare for the part, the show’s stunt team had Myers participate in a “werewolf boot camp.”
Myers spoke about her experience in the boot camp during the January 4 “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” According to Myers, the training happened ahead of filming the show’s sixth episode, which features Enid interacting with her werewolf brothers.
“I have never done so much parkour in my life. It was me running on the floor on all fours, leaping over things, we had these stunt guys pretending to be sheep,” Myers said. “I think anyone who was walking past was like, ‘What is going on in there?'”

Wednesday Addams is taking the world by storm in a way that, thankfully, doesn't involve putting her twisted mind to work. Were you to ask the macabre teen herself, her version of world domination would probably involve piranhas, communing with the dead, and ridding the world of any color that isn't her signature despairing black. But the reality of her popularity isn't so bleak: It mostly manifests in TikTok dances, Halloween costumes, and some of the funniest fan edits that society has ever seen. Netflix's "Wednesday" is that kind of popular, as you've most likely noticed it trending at the top of the charts for many weeks.
Whether you sought it out or stumbled onto it via social media, you've definitely encountered the clip of Jenna Ortega's ultra-goth dance scene and maybe even considered trying it out yourself. Mileage on the show certainly varies — in her review, /Film's...

Wednesday is in danger of leaving Netflix.
The hit series, which stars Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, landed on Netflix in November last year. It went on to become a huge hit for the streaming giant.
Wednesday beat out Stranger Things to score the most viewing time in a single week for an English-language series on Netflix, accumulating more than 400 million hours in one week.
Fans have praised the show’s writing and Ortega’s performance as the sullen teenager, with many looking forward to what seems like an inevitable second season.
In spite of its huge success, however, Wednesday is yet to be renewed by Netflix for a second series. The show’s popularity all but guarantees that one will happen, but the question is: where?

This season of the Paris-set dramedy series raises some stakes in serious ways, set to poppy songs that partner well with the loud fashion choices of Emily (Lily Collins) and others. The episode titles cleverly embody some of the song selections as well.
To refresh, Emily’s bestie au-pair-turned-singer Mindy Chen (Ashley Park) has joined a band to busk on the streets and sing for a living. Season 3 offers her a new opportunity to perform at Le Trompette Bleu, a famous nightclub that raised star singers. Her platform enables some great pop radio hit selections for the show.
Here are all the songs in “Emily in Paris” Season 3:

To revive the Addams Family for Tim Burton, production designer Mark Scruton’s brief was very clear. “We were not trying to copy anything else — it’s not a sequel, it’s not a reinvention, it’s a new thing,” he says. Scruton went back to cartoonist Charles Addams’ source material to evoke Wednesday’s world and, together with Burton and an illustrator, started by sketching out mirthless Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) and bubbly Enid’s (Emma Myers) dorm room, which would set the tone for everything else.
“It is a micro of everything. The difference between [boarding school] Nevermore and [the small town] Jericho is the same as between Enid and Wednesday,” Scruton explains. “The window grew from wanting to give a strong graphic bond to the fact that the two were complete opposites. I wanted one half stained glass and one half completely monochrome. But we had...

The first season of Netflix’s Wednesday saw our favorite goth princess have not one, but two potential love interests – “normie” Tyler (Hunter Doohan) and the psychic painter, Xavier (Percy Hynes White). However, since things didn’t work out with either of them in the aftermath of the finale, fans have also been shipping Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) with her roommate, Enid (Emma Myers), given how close the unlikely friends grow throughout the season. But it’s not just fans who want to see this grumpy/sunshine relationship have a chance on screen, Wednesday herself, Jenna Ortega, also ships her character with Enid.
During a press junket, Jenna Ortega told Pride that “In a perfect world, [Wednesday and Enid] would have been a thing.” She also told MTV News that she doesn’t see her character moving forward romantically with Xavier, saying “Now that Tyler’s off the table, I feel like she’s...
