Filming for the second season of Wednesday, directed by Tim Burton, started in late April 2024, with Deadline reporting the update. The production uses Ireland as a primary filming location for the new episodes, following the first season’s shoot in Romania from September 2021 to March 2022. The shift in location came after the team faced several logistical hurdles during the initial season, prompting producers to adjust their approach for the follow-up.
Deadline adds that the new season will increase the presence of the Addams family on screen and will explore Wednesday Addams’ relationship with her mother in greater depth. This expansion of the ensemble aims to broaden the show’s dynamics while maintaining the dark, quirky tone that has defined the series so far.
Leading actress Jenna Ortega, who also serves as an executive producer for the new season, indicated that the episodes will lean more into horror elements and away from the teen romance angle. She noted that the decision was made to minimize a central love story for Wednesday, prioritizing atmosphere, suspense, and character-driven fear instead.
At the moment, specific cast details remain under wraps, though Deadline reports that the studio has renewed contracts for the main cast members. Script development is actively underway, with the creative team shaping the narrative and pacing for the upcoming episodes.
