It is the most watched series on Netflix. Launched at the end of 2022, Wednesday was a huge success. These retellings of the Addams Family, humorous sketches that were later turned into films and TV series, allowed the general public to discover the actress Jenna Ortega. Voiced by the king of gothic honor himself, Tim Burton, he sets his style as the boss.
The writers got into several series Easter eggs Other iterations of the Addams Family. If some are obvious – like Wednesday’s dance, which was inspired by the 1964 TV series or Christina Ricci’s appearance (from 91 films) – we can find a slightly less discreet nod than in Season 1.

To see one of these two, you have to stop at episode 20 of episode 5. Wednesday is visited by his father (played by Luis Guzmán) in prison when he was arrested for the murder of a Nevermore student a few years ago.

If wednesday season 1 is rich Easter eggs, we hope that continues into the second season, which is currently being filmed. Netflix also broke news a while ago about the series welcoming new characters including Grandma Addams and an internationally acclaimed cast!
While no release date has been announced by Netflix, it will take several months of post-production. series Tim Burton (He will be filming at least one episode of Season 2) may return to our screens later this year, or even in 2025 (the most likely hypothesis). Until then, you can watch or preview the first episodes, which are even better the second time you watch them…
