After teasing the fans yesterday, Netflix has now confirmed the second season of its highly popular series ‘Wednesday’. This Tim Burton’s supernatural horror comedy drama is one that broke the Netflix record for most hours viewed in a single week, not once but twice.
Season 2 announcement for ‘Wednesday’ was made with a video where Wednesday Addams (Jena Ortega) takes the viewers through her season one journey in brief where she is hunted, haunted and mimicked millions of times across the internet. She also thanked viewers for the pure torture.
While Wednesday took down one big villain in season 1, in its finale episode we find out that the Hyde is still out there and there’s also a stalker apparently running around Nevermore Academy. Season 1 finale also shows Wednesday receiving threatening texts and creepy photos from an unknown number.
‘Wednesday’ season 1 premiered on Netflix in November and became one of the most successful series ever. In the first week, it raked in 341.23 million hours viewed and in its second, 411.29 million hours viewed. And all this raises expectations for a spookier and more intriguing season 2.
‘Wednesday’ is show run by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (‘Smallville’) with Tim Burton (‘Beetlejuice’, ‘Ed Wood’) directing several episodes. The series stars Jenna Ortega, Gwendoline Christie, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Emma Myers and Hunter Doohan.
