Netflix has released the second season of its smash hit series Wednesday, with fans eagerly awaiting the next gothic chapter. The new series was mostly filmed at the Ashford Studios in Wicklow, Ireland, after leaving Romania where the first season was shot. Wicklow is known for its evocative landscapes and cinematic charm helping to bring Nevermore Academy to life in haunting new ways. Wicklow’s dramatic landscapes can be seen on screen throughout in the series, including Powerscourt Demesne in Enniskerry, with its stunning waterfall and gardens.

Often referred to as the “Hollywood of Europe,” County Wicklow has become a go-to destination for international film and television production. From the sweeping epics of Braveheart and Excalibur to the gritty drama of Vikings and The Tudors, Wicklow’s forests, cliffs, and historic estates have played host to countless screen moments. Its ability to transform into mystical realms or historical backdrops continues to attract visionary creatives looking to ground their stories in a rich and varied setting.

Wednesday Season 2 is set to delve deeper into its twisted mystery while introducing new characters and darker storylines that explore Wednesday’s evolution. With Jenna Ortega reprising her role as the brooding titular character, and Tim Burton continuing his creative involvement, fans can expect more deliciously macabre storytelling.
Netflix has officially renewed Wednesday for a third season, even before Season 2 has fully premiered. The show’s massive popularity—ranking as one of Netflix’s most-watched English-language series ever—has made it a cornerstone of their lineup.

There’s even buzz about potential spin-offs featuring other characters from the Addams Family universe. Jenna Ortega leads the cast as the titular supernatural detective, Wednesday Addams, alongside regular cast members Isaac Ordonez (Pugsley) Catherine Zeta Jones (Morticia), Luis Guzmán (Gomez), Victor Dorobantu (Thing), Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair), Joy Sunday (Bianca Barclay), Moosa Mostafa (Eugene Ottinger), Georgie Farmer (Ajax), Dorobantu (Thing), and Hunter Doohan (Tyler Galpin).
