Soundtracks in Netflix’s Wednesday aren’t just background noises, but they help shape major scenes, carrying on the morbid, mischievous, and stylishly gothic tale ahead. So while we cannot wait to hear what songs the second season of the show will have, here is a comprehensive list of every original track and every licensed song featured in Season 1 of the Netflix show, from classical pieces to modern pop and rock.

Wednesday, created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar and produced under the direction of Tim Burton, is a stylish supernatural mystery series starring Jenna Ortega as the darkly brilliant Wednesday Addams. With Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia, Luis Guzmán as Gomez, Gwendoline Christie as Larissa Weems, and Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester, the show follows Ortega’s character as she navigates psychic visions, high school politics, and monster hunts at Nevermore Academy.

The first season of the series contains several...

The beginning of August seemed to have been sent from the heavens as the month started off with Cynthia Erivo as Jesus and Adam Lambert as Judas in the Hollywood Bowl’s electrifying production of “Jesus Christ Superstar.”

The three-night run included multiple standing ovations, high critical praise and celebrity sightings in the audience, including Erivo’s “Wicked” co-stars Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum, as well as Kristin Chenoweth, Kathy Griffin, Jenifer Lewis, Michelle Visage, Cheyenne Jackson, Dan Bucatinsky and Chris Colfer. “Jcs” composer Andrew Lloyd Webber made a surprise appearances during the first night’s curtain call.

The summer heat of New York City got even hotter with Chris Pratt and Taylor Kitsch premiering “The Terminal List: Dark Wolf” at the Regal Times Square. Also in the city were “Wednesday” stars Georgie Farmer, Emma Myers, Noah Taylor Luis Guzmán and Fred Armisen taking in WWE Raw Live on Netflix at the Barclays Center.

One notable absence from the sophomore season of Alfred Gough and Miles Millar’s Wednesday is that of broody artist Xavier Thorpe (Percy Hynes White), who played a significant love interest for Jenna Ortega’s titular main character in Season 1.

Ahead of Season 2’s launch, it was confirmed that Hynes White wouldn’t be returning alongside two other stars in series regular capacity — Jamie McShane, who portrays Tyler’s (Hunter Doohan) father Sheriff Donovan Galpin and Naomi J Ogawa, who played Yoko Tanaka. White posted a photo of the cast on his Instagram story two days later, wishing the cast luck and saying he had fun filming Season 1.

In the first episode of the new season, Steve Buscemi’s Principal Barry Dort asks Wednesday’s mother Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) to chair the Gala Fundraising Committee. Xavier...

A hungry zombie, a Hyde monster, killer birds, even Uncle Fester — “Wednesday” Season 2 unleashed all kinds of mayhem in the midseason finale, titled “If These Woes Could Talk,” which brought the four-episode Part 1 to a close.

As Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) closed in on the mystery of the Aviary murderer, she got some assistance from the Addams Family, calling in Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen), the perfect person to infiltrate a psychiatric ward. She also got some vital info from Grandmama Hester Frump (Joanna Lumley) that helped her solve the mystery.

The episode also brought back Season 1’s big bad, Laurel Gates, aka Marilyn Thornhill (Christina Ricci), Tyler’s master who masqueraded as a professor at Nevermore. And speaking of which, Wednesday had a tense, violent standoff with her former beau, Tyler (Hunter Doohan), leaving things on...

“Wednesday” is back, and this time, so is the Addams family.

In Season 2 of the hit Netflix series, Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) returns to Nevermore Academy flanked by her relatives: her younger brother, Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez), who is now a fellow student, and her parents, Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez (Luis Guzmán), as Morticia has accepted a fundraising job on campus. But it’s not a happy reunion: Having her family around is a major source of irritation for Wednesday, especially because of the protections Morticia has tried to impose over her use of her psychic powers.

At the end of Season 1, Wednesday was beginning to come into her own as a psychic thanks to the connection she made with one of her ancestors, Goody Addams (also played by Ortega). And by her own metric, she mastered that ability over her summer break,...

This article contains spoilers for "Wednesday" season 2.

Netflix's "Wednesday" series is easily one of the most intriguing shows on the platform. Its identity is fascinatingly hard to pin down; as a modern-day version of "The Addams Family" characters, it's a current take on the humorous, satiric, long-running series, one that's even more so now that the rest of the Addams clan have been more incorporated into the show. As a series set in an exclusive boarding school for gifted Outcasts, it's a bit of a teen drama. As a prestige streaming series, it's a mystery show soaked in horror, with oodles of creepy creatures and shady characters vying to be the next murder suspect.

For all these reasons, "Wednesday" has a lot going on, as does the titular character played by Jenna Ortega. One of the biggest mysteries of season 2 involves Wednesday's psychic abilities, which helped her survive the...

“Wednesday” Season 2 is finally here…at least partly.

The second season of the Addams Family spinoff brings back Jenna Ortega as the titular character living as a student at Nevermore Academy. Wednesday despises her newfound fame after saving the school in Season 1, but that attention isn’t just annoying; it also leads to new stalkers. And Season 2 has a new release schedule, too. So if you binged through the new episodes and thought, “Is it really only four episodes long?” Not to worry, there’s more on the way.

Here’s everything you need to know about where and when to tune in for the second season of Netflix’s “Wednesday.”

When does “Wednesday” Season 2 Part 1 come out?

“Wednesday” Season 2 Part 1 premiered on Wednesday, Aug. 6.

New episodes of “Wednesday” Season 2 will debut at 12 a.m. Pt/ 3 a.m. Et on Netflix.

When does “Wednesday” Season 2 Part 2 Come Out?...

Genndy Tartakovsky has spent much of his career considering what’s appropriate for children, whether at Cartoon Network or at the helm of three Hotel Transylvania films. Now, with the R-rated Fixed, he’s off the leash, and using traditional animation rather than CGI. But even if Tartakovsky achieved a sense of catharsis from being able to animate a dog’s bouncing nutsack, it doesn’t translate to a fulfilling viewing experience.

That nutsack belongs to Bull (Adam DeVine), but not for long. His human owners have had enough of him humping everything from Grandma’s leg to the backyard garden hose, and now he’s set to be neutered. Bull, though, isn’t about to take this lying down—especially when it might ruin his chances with the show dog next door (Kathryn Hahn). So he breaks out of his backyard and sets out for a raucous night in the city,...

The second season of Netflix's "Wednesday" is a pleasant surprise. Not only does it bring back so many of the strongest elements of the successful first season — chief among them Jenna Ortega's superlative performance as Wednesday Addams — it also jettisons the aspects about that season that weren't working, replacing them instead with more delightfully tried and true elements. The series is now much more of an "Addams Family" show, with the entire clan more present. It also allows director Tim Burton to infuse more of his signature touches on the series, including a neat stop-motion animation sequence and a perfect blend of humor and horror.

Another noticeable change to the show is how it shifts focus a little bit more toward an episodic rather than serialized structure. Where the first season was written and paced in a similar fashion to...

Wednesday Season 2 left fans on an eerie cliffhanger, with the Outcasts of Willow Hill roaming Jericho and a severely injured Wednesday Addams. Gladly, fans will not have to wait much longer to see what lies ahead in Wednesday Season 2 Part 2, which is set to premiere on Netflix on September 3, 2025.

So far, Season 2 marked Wednesday’s return to Nevermore Academy, following a new mystery about her stalker and a new series of killings in the town of Jericho. Part 1 follows Wednesday finding new allies and unearthing dark secrets, yet leaving out intriguing gaps that set the stage for the thrilling conclusion of her journey at Nevermore Academy.

With everything unfolded so far in Wednesday Season 2 Part 1, the upcoming segment of the show has many questions to answer.

Wednesday Season 2 Part 1 Ending Explained(Photo Credit –Netflix)

After years of waiting, Wednesday Addams is finally back in her black couture, turning our dreams into nightmares. Jenna Ortega has returned to reprise her role as Wednesday in the Netflix series. Season 2, part 1, is comprised of 4 episodes, and even though it doesn’t make up for all the excitement, the new crime scenarios will definitely keep you hooked till the end.

For those who don’t know, the storyline of the second season, part 1, revolves around Wednesday returning to Nevermore after the summer break. But this time she is not alone, her brother gets enlisted, and their parents also decide to stay on for a bit. The school has changed, the principal has been replaced, but danger hasn’t subsided yet. A stalker is lurking somewhere, and a lot of bad things are about to happen. Will Wednesday be able to solve them?...

A show about Elvis as a secret agent from "Archer" writer Mike Arnold and singer-screenwriter John Eddie sounds wild enough to become a hit — or, at the least, a cult favorite. Sadly, "Agent Elvis" wasn't given long enough to become either, as Netflix canceled the zany enterprise after its first season. That is, the streamer axed the animated series several months after season 1 was made available, which might seem odd, but 2023 was a tumultuous year that claimed many a show too soon.

The cancellation of "Agent Elvis" was perhaps one of the biggest disappointments, if only because the show had so much promise and hype prior to its debut. The series' trailer promised an outlandish romp featuring Matthew McConaughey as a secret agent version of The King, while early footage from "Agent Elvis" similarly teased a stylish animated show that /Film's Rafael Motamayor described as "striking," noting that "Elvis has never looked better.

Wednesday Season 2 is finally here, and Netflix has made sure the Addams Family saga is more addictive than ever. From the cast lineup to burning questions about how many episodes of Season 2 are coming—and exactly what time the new chapters drop—here’s your ultimate go-to guide.

When Is Wednesday Season 2 Coming Out? Release Date, Time, and Episode Breakdown

The much-anticipated Season 2 premiered its first four episodes on August 6, 2025, at 3 Am Et (that’s 8 Am BST in the UK and 12:30 Pm Ist for Indian fans) on Netflix. Thanks to Netflix’s new staggered release approach, Wednesday Season 2 Part 2—and the final four episodes—will become available on September 3, 2025, at the same global time slot. So if you’re Googling, “When does Wednesday 2 come out?” or “What time does Wednesday season 2 release?”—mark your calendars for those dates and times.

This season keeps it classic with eight episodes in total,...

After defeating an evil resurrected pilgrim, a hyde and its master in Season 1 of “Wednesday,” the Addams family heroine (Jenna Ortega) finds herself at the center of an even more urgent mystery in Season 2. There’s been a new string of murders in Jericho, and according to one of Wednesday’s psychic visions, her roommate, Enid (Emma Myers), might be next.

Wednesday quickly figures out that she’s dealing with an avian, someone with the ability to control birds who is using them to kill people. She was too late to save Sheriff Galpin (Jamie McShane), who was in the middle of his own investigation when he died, but is able to recover some of his evidence: the obituaries of several outcasts who were patients at the Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital. Each newspaper clipping is connected on a bulletin board to the name Lois.

Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams is back and ready for whatever Nevermore Academy and Jericho, Vermont throw at her in Season 2, Part 1 of which is now streaming on Netflix.

The first four episodes involve the pigtailed psychic student reacclimating to life at the school for Outcasts, which has seen a change in leadership after the death of Principal Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie). Now Barry Dort (Steve Buscemi) has to step up and fill her shoes, and he has a different tactic for running Nevermore. Dort has a memorable scene set to Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark,” and that is just the beginning of classic needle drops that accompany both horrific and hilarious moments in the show like those of Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen) in Episode 4.

A potential Wednesday spinoff receives an enticing update from one of the show's Addams Family actors. Season 1 of the Jenna Ortega-led series proved to be a record-breaking streaming hit for Netflix, and season 3 was already renewed ahead of season 2's debut on the streaming platform.

In 2023, Netflix's plans to expand this IP were reportedly already underway, with rumors of a spinoff show revolving around Wednesday's quirky Uncle Fester Addams (Fred Armisen). Since then, there have not been many updates about this chapter of the Wednesday universe, although show creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar recently confirmed that they have been prioritizing seasons 2 and 3 over the spinoff.

While speaking with Deadline, Armisen was asked if the Uncle Fester spinoff is still in development and if he feels any pressure when bringing comedy to parts of the show steeped in the horror genre. Check out his comments below:

No, there’s no pressure.

Season 1 of "Wednesday" had already teased the existence of a mysterious stalker in Nevermore. Right after Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) resolves the Crackstone/Hyde debacle at the end of the season, she receives a cryptic text on her phone, replete with photos of her being stalked. The new season sees our protagonist return to the academy, where she is soon plagued with more stalker-adjacent problems, which start to take a more sinister turn. At the same time, Wednesday has to deal with something she has never contended with before — she is now the center of attention, having gained celebrity status after saving Nevermore from ruin. As expected, she detests being under the spotlight and diverts all her attention to solving the new stalker problem.

At first, she receives some cryptic letters that express morbid fascination, but the situation escalates after the stalker steals Wednesday's...

It feels bizarre that Wednesday returns at a time when Halloween is still months away. The show that became a runaway Netflix hit — while creatively reinvigorating director Tim Burton and turning Jenna Ortega into a generational star — radiates creepy, kooky and altogether ooky vibes, spinning the Addams Family character into her own Harry Potter-for-goth-kids YA detective series with hugely fun results. But Wednesday’s return at the height of summer speaks to Netflix’s blockbuster approach for the show’s second season — much bigger and starrier, a Stranger Things-like glow-up in scope, with somewhat mixed results.

The not-so-secret weapon in Season 1 was Ortega herself — knockout casting, elevating the material with deliciously deadpan delivery. She remains excellent here, relishing every cutting line. “It’s Addams with two Ds,” she declares early on. “Like ‘padded room’.” We’re reunited with Wednesday during her idea of...

Spoiler Alert: This piece contains spoilers for Wednesday Season 2 Part 1.

Two comedic characters who provide breaks and relief from the horror and jump scares of Wednesday Season 2, which hit Netflix on Wednesday, are Steve Buscemi’s Principal Barry Dort and Fred Armisen’s Uncle Fester.

Buscemi joined Season 2 as a newcomer to the world of Nevermore Academy, replacing the late Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie) and embracing “Outcast pride.” In one of his first scenes addressing the student body, Dort runs out onto a stage at the Founder’s Pyre celebration to Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark.”

“[The song] was actually in the script, and Tim Burton just gave me the greatest note. He said, ‘Yeah, this is when Dort comes out and does his dad dancing.’ I thought ‘Okay, I know what that is,’” Buscemi told Deadline. “And the fact that Dort thinks he’s so cool doing it, and...

This post contains spoilers from Wednesday season 2 episode 4 from this point forward.

In the previous episode of Wednesday season 2, not only was there a shocking death at Camp Jericho, but the first season's villain was revealed to be back. Christina Ricci reprises her role as Marilyn Thornhill, who's now locked up in Willow Hill. Dr. Fairburn wants Thornhill's help "unlocking" Tyler, and even though she initially turned down the offer, she accepts under the condition that she can see Tyler just once. He immediately attacks her through his cage.

Meanwhile, Wednesday peaks through a mausoleum at a cemetery and is surprised by the arrival of her Grandmama (Joanna Lumley). She shows Grandmama the details of her latest mystery and how it connects to her vision of Enid's death. When Grandmama opens Patricia Redcar's urn, they discover that human ashes are not inside. Suddenly, the one-eyed crow arrives and steals Wednesday's evidence.

This post contains major spoilers for "Wednesday" season 2.

Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) might've returned to Nevermore Academy with the belief that she has this place figured out, but fate has other plans for our gloomy, deadpan protagonist. This comes after season 1 teased a mysterious stalker (who seems to be the one committing murders in season 2), setting Wednesday on the path of pursuing a fresh, macabre mystery.

However, this is partially revealed to be a fake-out, as the stalker in question is Agnes DeMille (Evie Templeton), a fellow Outcast student and Wednesday super-fan with nifty invisibility powers and a creepy obsession with proving herself useful. But while Agnes' misguided intentions are (mostly) benign, the individual who's committing the murders in season 2 is still out there, leading Wednesday to deduce the presence of a second, deadlier Avian stalker.

In episode 4, titled "If These Woes Could Talk," all hell breaks loose. Before these events,...

Not since Ralph Bakshi’s Fritz the Cat and its sequel have cartoon animals gotten so down and dirty as they do in the latest animated effort by director Genndy Tartakovsky. Depicting the travails of a dog facing the fate alluded to in the title, Fixed plays like a canine version of The 25th Hour, except that instead of going to prison the next day, the main character is about to be neutered.

Those who are easily offended may want to steer clear of this Netflix movie, co-scripted by Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack, Hotel Transylvania) with Jon Vitti (The Simpsons). But if, let’s say, South Park is a regular part of your animated diet, you’ll find plenty of amusement in this relentlessly raunchy and vulgar comedy.

A perfectly cast Adam DeVine plays the central role of Bull, who is clearly experiencing the male dog version of heat. He’s relentlessly horny,...

As Netflix’s hit supernatural series Wednesday returns with Season 2, the new series also holds some interesting facts. Wednesday Season 2 Part 1 arrives today, on August 6, and Part 2 arrives on September 3. After a three-year hiatus, the series once again returns to the gothic halls of Nevermore Academy. Jenna Ortega reprises her role as the deadpan teen Wednesday Addams. The series is also renewed for season 3 ahead of season 2’s release.

In Season 2, Wednesday faces a darker, more complex journey. She navigates new mysteries along with family, friends, and old adversaries. According to creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, “Nothing is what it seems in season 2” (via Tudum). From a stalker to expanded roles for the Addams Family, the new chapter will “snap back” the season.

Before you press and play, here are six interesting facts you need to know from Wednesday Season 2.

Guess who’s back!

If you thought Christina Ricci’s Marilyn Thornhill, aka Laurel Gates, was gone forever after that intense Wednesday season one finale, I hate to break it to you, but she’s made a surprise return in season two, Part 1 of the hit Netflix series.

At the end of the first season that released back in 2022, Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) discovered that Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan) is the monster, known as a Hyde, behind all the mysterious deaths. However, he was actually “activated” and controlled by Ricci’s character to kill outcasts, as the Gates family had been trying to rid the world of outcasts since the 1600s when their ancestor Joseph Crackstone was killed by Wednesday’s ancestor Goody Addams.

When Laurel attempted to resurrect Crackstone so he could finish what he started, Wednesday stopped her. The season one finale concluded with Laurel getting attacked by Eugene’s (Moosa Mostafa) bees,...

Plot: Wednesday Addams, returns to prowl the Gothic halls of Nevermore Academy, where fresh foes and woes await. This season, Wednesday must navigate family, friends and old adversaries, propelling her into another year of delightfully dark and kooky mayhem. Armed with her signature razor-sharp wit and deadpan charm, Wednesday is also plunged into a new bone-chilling supernatural mystery.

Review: The first season of Wednesday became a massive hit for Netflix despite a quintessentially CW-style approach to storytelling. But, armed with the unique visual style of director Tim Burton and a supporting role from The Addams Family movie star Christina Ricci, Wednesday was anchored by Jenna Ortega’s pitch-perfect take on the macabre teenage protagonist. While the story of Wednesday attending Nevermore Academy felt like a horror-tinged take on Nancy Drew, the series had its charms and easily garnered a second season. After three years of waiting, Wednesday is back with...

Did you watch the first season of Netflix’s Wednesday and come away wishing for more mystery and less humor, more of the secondary members of the Addams family and less of Jenna Ortega’s Emmy-nominated performance, more of the supernatural world of outcasts and less of the real world for contrast?

It’s Ok not to remember exactly. Wednesday premiered nearly three years ago, a duration also known as “adolescence” for most of the underaged supporting cast.

Fortunately, and conveniently, few of the specific plot details from that well-received season are all that relevant. There are enough expositional reminders here for a general catch-up, but the truth is that the new season of Wednesday is so generic that my biggest challenge was separating my memory of the first season from nearly identical dynamics that played out in The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Percy Jackson and the Olympians and...

What's to be done about those who are themselves strange and unusual? The typical answer is for culture to either assimilate or reject the outcasts; if their quirks cannot be embraced and worked into more digestible form for the masses, then they must be renounced, laughed at, and diminished. This is the artistic struggle that filmmaker Tim Burton has dealt with for the entirety of his career, and he's been around long enough to have experienced all the facets of issues with trendiness and conformity. For the first half of his career, Burton's oddball traits were resoundingly praised. Then, like his Edward Scissorhands or Oswald Cobblepot, the luster faded, either in his own work or the public's liking of it (or perhaps a mixture of both), and he endured a period of great financial success mixed with ill reception. In the last several years, Burton has appeared to reach...

Wednesday, the fan-favorite, mystery-oriented spin-off/reboot of the long-running Addams Family franchise, has finally returned for a second season on Netflix after three long years of waiting. Indeed, fans have been chomping at the bit for more of Jenna Ortega and Tim Burton’s fresh new take on the beloved Addams daughter, and you can count me amongst them as someone who’s had a soft spot for Charles Addams’ kooky creations since high school.

But with the pedigree of the first season and the long hype cycle for Season 2, can the final product actually live up to those expectations? Right now, I am happy to report that the answer is mostly yes. Season 2 is at least as good as the first season, and by the end I could easily see it being better. Though please bear in mind that this only applies to the first four episodes, as that...

“Here We Woe Again” is an apt title for the Season 2, Part 1, opener of Netflix’s mega-hit “Wednesday.” Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar with Tim Burton in the director’s chair, the series follows Wednesday Addams (a perfectly cast Jenna Ortega) — a macabre, black cloaked teen with psychic abilities. Having spent her summer break honing her prophetic visions and indulging in a game of chicken with a serial killer, Wednesday returns to Nevermore Academy for the fall term. Yet, things aren’t as they once were. A shocking mystery quickly begins to occupy Wednesday’s time, leading her to uncover some haunting secrets concerning Jericho and its history with outcasts. Additionally, a lot more is revealed about the Addams family lore, including the root of Wednesday and Morticia’s (Catherine Zeta-Jones) strained relationship. Full of zing and depth, the season remains just as thrilling as the first.

While it’s nearly as frustrating to review a half-season of mediocre television as it is to see it solely as a fan — especially if you were anticipating its return for the better part of three years — “Wednesday” Season 2, Part 1, at least makes it easy to investigate the lingering questions in its mundane murder-mystery without verging into spoilers.

Showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar continue to map a conventional teen drama onto the ostensibly unconventional Addams Family I.P. Their star, Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), may be allergic to colors and obsessed with the macabre, but she’s handled like any other identifiable introvert who doubles as a reluctant hero. Behind her dark wardrobe and dour demeanor lies benevolence and bravery. She solves mysteries! She makes friends! She cares, despite insisting she doesn’t!

Good for you, kiddo. Keep wearing that goth getup as long as you want.

Jenna Ortega is putting her unique sense of style on display for Wednesday press in the Big Apple!

The 22-year-old actress was spotted in several looks while promoting season two of the Netflix series in New York City.

Jenna wore a black dress at the season two fan screening at the Paris Theater on Tuesday night (August 5). She was joined at the event by co-stars Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzman, Fred Armisen, Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, and Georgie Farmer.

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar have been writing together ever since they met at USC’s Peter Stark producing program in the early ’90s and sold their first script to New Line Cinema.

After countless movies and TV series, this week they premiere Season 2 of their popular series “Wednesday,” executive-produced by Tim Burton, on Netflix. Having sampled the first four episodes, I can attest that Season 2 is even more delicious than Season 1.

For one thing, for budget reasons, the showrunners had to trim some Season 1 subplots, thus relying more heavily on young star Jenna Ortega, now age 22, in the title role of Addams daughter Wednesday, an amateur supernatural detective in her first year at outsider school Nevermore Academy. This time around, with Netflix loosening the purse strings, the series expands with new characters including eager-to-please Nevermore Principal Dort (Steve Buscemi) and Grandmama Hester Frump (Joanna Lumley), while giving more time...

“Wednesday” star Jenna Ortega knows that people worry about interactions they have with her because of her “resting bitch face.” But, when “Late Night” host Seth Meyers offered a potential solution for the actress on Monday night, she was left a bit speechless.

During her appearance on the NBC talk show, Ortega admitted that she’s long been a fan of her co-star Fred Armisen, and would often quote lines of his. That said, Ortega noted that “he has no idea how obsessed with him I am,” because she’s good at playing it cool around people.

Meyers immediately guessed that most people can’t tell if Ortega is excited to meet and interact with them, which the actress confirmed. But, when Meyers suggested that that’s actually a “good skill,” Ortega disagreed a bit.

“I think it’s almost the opposite. I have such bad resting bitch face, everyone thinks I hate them,...

Genndy Tartakovsky‘s ambitious balls-to-the-wall buddy adventure film, Fixed, is finally on Netflix after a long trudge through developmental hell. The animation features a who’s who of Hollywood veterans in its voice cast, including Adam DeVine, Idris Elba, Kathryn Hahn, Fred Armisen, and Bobby Moynihan, among others. And a list this decorated does not come cheap.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of each actor’s salary for their role in the film, as can be derived from the overall production budget, the actors’ net worths, and their current asking price on the Hollywood job market.

Wednesday season 2 approaches, here’s a quick overview of season 1 ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Wednesday premiered on Netflix and 2023 and took the world by storm. This Tim Burton story, a spinoff of the Addams family story, became a rage for its gothic tale of trust, betrayal, and a lead who loves all things dark. The light comic elements, paired with a good dose of emotional touch created a somewhat balanced experience.

The first season of Wednesday introduced us to the core members of the Addams family, namely, Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, and Pugsley. After a string of rustication from schools for seemingly violent and unconventional behaviour, Wednesday joins the Nevermore Academy, her parents’ alma mater. There, she comes face to face with her identity and heritage as an Addams family member. From befriending the colourful and bubbly werewolf Enid to finding herself attracted to Tyler, Wednesday goes on a journey of serious...

Here we go (or should we say woe) again! Netflix's smash hit Wednesday is back for Season 2, promising the return of familiar faces, fresh threats, and thrilling new mysteries at Nevermore Academy. And now we're learning even more about Lady Gaga's aptly titled song, "Dance Dead," that will premiere during the sophomore season.

It's been nearly three years since Wednesday debuted in Nov. of 2022, quickly becoming Netflix's most-watched English-language series of all time. Based on the iconic character Wednesday Addams created by Charles Addams, the show was brought to life by creator/showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, with Emmy nominee Jenna Ortega starring as the unforgettable title character.

Here's everything you need to know about the second season of Wednesday.

Season 2 synopsis

Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), returns to prowl the gothic halls of Nevermore Academy, where fresh foes and woes await.

Plot: From visionary director Genndy Tartakovsky comes “Fixed,” an adult animated comedy about Bull, an average, all-around good dog who discovers he’s going to be neutered in the morning! As the gravity of this life-altering event sets in, Bull realizes he needs one last adventure with his pack of best friends as these are the last 24 hours with his balls! What could go wrong…?

Review: If you have ever had an animated film recommended but brushed it off by saying that cartoons are for kids, you are missing out. From the pantheon of Japanese animated fare that rival live-action projects to classic American films like Heavy Metal, animation has been a medium with just as many projects aimed at adults as it has towards children. In recent years, movies like Sausage Party have amped up the raunch factor to reclaim animation for mature audiences. Still, Seth Rogen’s food-oriented...

In the final episode of Raw before SummerSlam, there was plenty of good old fashioned in-ring wrestling along with some eye-opening and jaw-dropping moments, from Dominik Mysterio receiving a Nintendo Switch 2 from Roxanne Perez to Roman Reigns getting speared by Bron Breakker, then having his shoes stolen right off his feet by Bronson Reed — an act of disrespect that added to tension ahead of SummerSlam, where Reed teamed with Breakker in a clash against Reigns and Jey Uso.

With SummerSlam 2025 in the books, revisit everything that happened over the epic weekend and prepare for the fallout on tonight’s episode of Raw.

The Aug. 4 episode of Raw takes place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

The Aug. 4 Raw celebrity guests include Wednesday cast members Fred Armisen, Luis Guzmán, Emma Myers, Noah Taylor, and Georgie Farmer, as well as influencer Fanum, and rappers Method Man, Joe...

Netflix is pushing the boundaries of adult animation with Fixed, a R-rated comedy directed by five-time Emmy winner Genndy Tartakovsky. Arriving globally on August 13, Fixed tells the story of Bull, voiced by Adam Devine. The street-smart dog embarks on a wild all-nighter after learning he’s scheduled to be neutered the next day.

Produced by Sony Pictures, the movie had long been in creative limbo. Now, with Netflix taking over, it’s finally ready to bark up all the right trees. Packed with raunchy humor and Tartovsky’s signature 2D animation style, Fixed brings something fresh to the world of animated storytelling.

Fixed premieres on Netflix on August 13, 2025. It had its world debut at the Annecy International Animation Festival in June. And it served as the closing movie at the Fantasia Festival on August 3.

This week, “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” brings an exciting lineup for its Season 10 Episode 151. Fans can look forward to a night filled with laughter and insights as actor Fred Armisen takes the stage. Known for his unique comedic style and memorable characters, Armisen is sure to entertain with his witty anecdotes and charm. His work on shows like “Portlandia” and “Saturday Night Live” has made him a beloved figure in comedy, and his appearance on the show promises to be a highlight.

In addition to Armisen, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker will also be a guest. As a prominent political figure, Pritzker will share his thoughts on current events and the challenges facing his state. His perspective as a governor offers a fascinating contrast to Armisen’s comedic approach, making for a dynamic conversation.

The combination of humor and politics is a hallmark of “The Late Show,” and this episode is no exception.

The series presents a view of adolescence that is as accurate as it is rare.

There are some shows that I prefer to watch right away when a new episode debuts, and others that, for whatever reason, don’t prompt the same level of urgency. “Big Mouth” falls into the latter category; I’ve been a fan of the series for many years, but I don’t believe I’ve ever watched the show on its season premiere date. Season 8 of “Big Mouth” is no exception, and though I’m a few months late to the party, the show was nevertheless the best thing I watched this week.

Let’s start with the obvious: “Big Mouth” is hysterical. The show centers on a group of teens who are working their way through adolescence, and the group of imaginary critters that accompany them through this journey.

An Oxford-set college rom-com from the guy behind The Inbetweeners; the return of one of Netflix’s biggest ever shows; Genndy Tartakovsky’s latest adult animated project; Vanessa Kirby’s return to more intimate dramas about the human condition; a documentary that promised to shed new light on the Jussie Smollett hate crime incident; and a murder mystery film featuring several British and Irish acting icons are some of the highlights among the new films and series hitting Netflix in August.

Kicking off August is the rom-com My Oxford Year, which focuses on the tried and trusted formula of a young American girl heading to stuffy old Europe and finding love with some impossibly handsome and terribly charming guy, so it’s almost guaranteed to find a huge audience. In this instance, Sofia Carson plays Anna, an ambitious American student at Oxford University whose life is changed when she meets...

It's been two years since Netflix released I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson Season 3 to rapturous praise with a new set of quotable sketches that lived rent-free in viewers' heads. In that time, however, updates have been few and far between for a potential return of the gloriously unhinged comedy series, aside from the occasional affirmation that it's still coming eventually. Ahead of the release of his new The Naked Gun reboot, Akiva Schaffer was finally able to provide some more clarity beyond the fact that the show isn't dead like Corncob TV. Speaking to Collider's Steve Weintraub, he gave some insight as to how much is already written and when Tim Robinson and the team should kick the series back into gear.

When Robinson last spoke to Collider about the status of the series, he couldn't say much other than that he and co-creator Zach Kanin...

Wednesday Addams' sophomore year is right around the corner, but not everyone will be happy about what is coming. In fact, quite the opposite, as Netflix has taken the opportunity to remind people of just how woeful WednesdaySeason 2 will be by sharing a dreadful glimpse at Part 1, which premieres on Aug. 6, 2025. The streamer shared several new photos from the second season alongside the episode titles, offering some additional clues about the mysteries that await the show's titular teen as she returns to Nevermore Academy.

The gallery of images (shared below) features some instantly recognizable fan-favorites from Wednesday's first season, as several stars return to reprise their roles alongside Jenna Ortega's spooky and kooky lead character. Among those pictured are Emma Myers, who is back on the scene as Wednesday's quirky and colorful roommate Enid Sinclair, as well as Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams, Moosa Mostafa as Eugene Ottinger, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams,...

Wednesday Season 2 on Netflix is nearing its premiere on August 6, 2025. The upcoming season is going to be split into two parts. The upcoming season has a brand new roster of fresh faces, but fans are going particularly gaga over one addition: Lady Gaga. Popular for her genre-bending creativity, Gaga seems like the most fitting addition to the franchise, set to appear in a guest role in Season 2 Part 2 (via Netflix).

Speaking about working with her to Variety, Tim Burton expressed:

She’s such an artist, and so for me, working with an artist is inspirational.

He also recently teased the possibility of collaborating with the actress/singer at the Giffoni Film Festival in Italy. When asked if he can confirm whether he’ll ever work with Gaga again, he replied, “No, I can’t. But I dope so”. And that gives us hope. While we wait to witness Gaga in...

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, the creators of the hit Addams Family spin-off Wednesday, have revealed a major update regarding the development of a spin-off. Wednesday debuted on Netflix on November 23, 2022, and became a huge hit with audiences. After the show's massive success, there were reports that a spinoff focusing on Fred Armisen's Uncle Fester was in the works.

Armisen will reprise his role as the legendary character in Wednesday season 2, which will premiere its first four episodes on Netflix on August 6, 2025, but the future of his own show is uncertain. Gough and Millar have revealed that they would make as many seasons of Wednesday as they could for years to come if Netflix allows it.

During an interview with Collider,Gough was also asked about the potential spin-off, and he revealed that he and Millar were not currently focusing on an Uncle Fester series. Instead, the showrunners are...

Jenna Ortega wears a daring look while attending the Wednesday season two premiere held at Central Hall, Westminster on Wednesday (July 30) in London.

The 22-year-old star and executive producer of the series wore an Ashi Studio look, featuring a “beige semi-sheer snakeskin-textured latex waist corset with back lacing, paired with a tight high-neck top and a long mermaid-cut skirt finished with asymmetrical ruffled trim.”

She was also joined at the premiere by her parents Natalie and Edward.

Also hitting the purple carpet were Jenna‘s co-stars Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Georgie Farmer, Luis Guzman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Isaac Ordonez, Victor Dorobantu, Moosa Mostafa, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, Oliver Watson, Gracy Goldman, Joonas Suotamo and Fred Armisen, plus season two newcomers Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, Noah B Taylor, Kyle Hixon, Joanna Lumley and Frances O’Connor. Showrunners and creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, and director/executive producer Tim Burton were also in attendance.

A fresh clip from Season 2 of Wednesday just dropped, and it brings Luis Guzmán and Catherine Zeta-Jones back as Gomez and Morticia Addams. The quick look already gives off a darker and weirder vibe, and fans are loving it.

Two against one. I usually relish an unfair fight, but not when the betrayal is so close to home. pic.twitter.com/TjZ0AQ2fAD

Netflix’s spooky hit series first arrived in late 2022 and quickly became one of the platform’s biggest shows. It premiered globally on November 23 and shot up the charts, second only to Stranger Things when it comes to English-language shows.

Jenna Ortega’s performance as Wednesday Addams got a lot of praise and helped the show score two Golden Globe nominations and win four Primetime Emmys. Now, she’s back for Season 2, and she’s doing more than just acting. This time,...
