Netflix reunites with Nevermore: Wednesday, showcasing extensive stardom
Netflix's hit series "Wednesday" has proven to be the most successful English-language original production for the streaming giant, amassing an impressive 252.1 million views in its first 91 days. The show, which stars Jenna Ortega as the titular character, has garnered attention not just for its viewership numbers, but also for its captivating storyline and the performances of its talented cast.
Despite not winning at the Golden Globes or the Emmys, "Wednesday" has generated significant social media hype. Ortega's portrayal of Wednesday Addams has solidified her place as one of the most iconic and coolest series characters in Netflix's recent history.
The second season of "Wednesday" is set to premiere on August 6, and it promises to be as exciting as the first. The new episodes will feature a host of new faces joining the cast, including Lady Gaga, Steve Buscemi, Thandiwe Newton, Christopher Lloyd, and many more.
Buscemi will play the new director in the series, while Gaga and Lloyd will join the teaching staff. Newton will be portraying a psychiatrist, and Heather Matarazzo will reprise her role as Judi. Joining the cast as new characters are Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo as Sheriff Ritchie Santiago, Joanna Lumley as Grandmama Hester Frump, Owen Painter as Slurp (a zombie pet), Billie Piper as Isadora Capri (head of music at Nevermore), Noah B. Taylor as Bruno (a werewolf), and Evie Templeton as Agnes DeMille (a new student). Veteran actor Anthony Michael Hall will also join the cast in an undisclosed role.
Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, and Isaac Ordonez will reprise their roles as Morticia, Gomez, and Pugsley Addams, respectively, having been promoted to series regulars.
The second season of "Wednesday" was filmed in County Wicklow, Ireland, making it the most expensive production in the region to date, as reported by U.S. industry publication "Variety". The new season will consist of four episodes, with the four-part season finale debuting on September 3.
Interestingly, only the South Korean series hit "Squid Game" narrowly topped the viewership numbers of "Wednesday". Fans of the show can look forward to more horror and more action in the second season, according to Ortega.
With its star-studded cast, exciting plot, and high viewership numbers, "Wednesday" Season 2 is shaping up to be a must-watch for fans of the series and newcomers alike. Netflix has also confirmed that there will be a third season of "Wednesday", so it seems that we can expect more adventures from Wednesday Addams in the future.
The upcoming second season of "Wednesday" on Netflix, featuring a star-studded cast including Lady Gaga, Steve Buscemi, Thandiwe Newton, and more, promises to deliver as much excitement as the first season. In addition to the new faces, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, and Isaac Ordonez will reprise their roles as Morticia, Gomez, and Pugsley Addams, respectively, having been promoted to series regulars.
