Enid Strict, better known as The Church Lady, practically had to return to Saturday Night Live in the December 7 episode. After all, 2024 was, in her appraisal, “the most satanic year in history.” The cold open marked the first time Dana Carvey has reprised the role of Enid since 2016, though the SNL alum has been a regular presence in Season 50, serving as the NBC show’s President Joe Biden. “Instead of Mother Mary, little girls are looking up to the Hawk Tuah Girl,” Enid began. “Everywhere you look, you’ve got 11-year-olds dressing up like that vixen Sabrina Carpenter. Do you know who was the best carpenter? Jesus. [Singing to the tune of ‘Espresso’] He’s working late ’cause he’s a savior.” Enid then took aim at multiple political figures who were brought on as guests. As she kicked off her “Church Chat” talk show on Saturday, Enid welcomed former U.S. Representative Matt Gaetz, played by Sarah Sherman,...

Production for Wednesday Begins with Look at Wednesday and Enid - Main Image

Netflix is always on the search for their next mega-hit like Stranger Things or Squid Game. While nobody thought that Wednesday was going to take over the world, the series managed to be a cultural touchstone. Jenna Ortega became the idol of a new generation of Goths.

The second season of the show is expected to come out soon, and the series just started production with a look at Wednesday herself and her colorful “best friend” Enid.

Wednesday Season 2 Starts Production

Netflix posted this on their socials:

No plot has been revealed for the second season yet, but it is expected that Wednesday will continue to keep snooping around for mysteries at the Nevermore Academy. With family members like Gomez, Morticia, and Uncle Fester also showing up in the first season, some fans guess that the second...

We’ve got our first peek at Wednesday Season 2 that hints at the fun to expect when the dark comedy returns!

One of the biggest hits of 2022, Wednesday was a dream combination: Director Tim Burton taking on The Addams Family. Jenna Ortega played the title role of Wednesday Addams, the budding sociopath who, after a wild “prank” at her school, is sent to Westmoreland Academy, home to various supernatural beings.

As she navigates the school and a love triangle she could care less about, Wednesday starts investigating a series of murders leading to a dark conspiracy. The show was a huge critical hit with Ortega breaking out into stardom with moments like the now iconic dance number. Obviously, a second season was ordered, although it was delayed due to the 2023 Hollywood strikes and Ortega’s now busier schedule. Thankfully, it’s coming at last with Netflix offering a sneak peek...

Why are Wednesday fans mad after the Season 2 trailer? A first look at the second season was posted with some behind-the-scenes shots and there’s much to look forward to, but fans are not happy.

The Favorite Addams Child, Wednesday

(Spoilers Ahead) Netflix’s hit series Wednesday follows Wednesday of the Addams Family, played by famous actress, Jenna Ortega (Scream VI and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice). She is forced to go to the school her parents met at after she is expelled from her current school.

Additionally, the girl who doesn’t blink lets piranhas loose in the pool which attacks the guy who bullied her brother. Thus, her expulsion.

Already planning her escape from the moment she gets there, Wednesday learns about herself and the supernaturals with her roommate and soon-to-be best friend, Enid. Wednesday ends up making a ton of friends and saves the school from evil forces.

The worst part of watching a new binge-worthy series is figuring out what to watch next. Especially when there’s only one season.

Netflix’s addictive teen mystery series “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” debuted in the top ranks of the streaming charts in August and has held steady for weeks, but Netflix has yet to announce a second season. Which means a whole lot of folks have tuned in and might be looking for another great mystery series. Not to worry, we’ve got a curated list of shows like “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” to watch while you wait for that Season 2 renewal.

Emma Myers is best known for playing sidekick Enid in “Wednesday” but in “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” the actor is front and center as teenage super sleuth Pip Fitz-Amobi. She also sports a British accent for the first time, which, Myers tells Variety, she managed to master in just two short weeks.

Ahead of the show debuting on Netflix, Myers sat down to talk about on-set injuries, differences between the book and the show and how Pip is more like her than any character Myers has previously played.

How worried were you about doing a British accent?

Yeah, honestly, I was very hesitant to take the role because the time from signing on to starting to film was only two weeks.

And Just Like That…, the Sex and the City reboot opened with the devasting death of Carrie Bradshaw’s big love, John James Preston. His funeral was featured in the raw and emotionally charged first season. While season 2 was much more upbeat and hopeful, viewers are in for another emotional moment when season 3 finally premieres. Another funeral appears to be in the cards, although we still don’t know who could have died this time.

It’s been a long wait for Wednesday season 2. The first season of the live-action Addams Family spinoff arrived the end of 2022. Since then, fans have been eager for updates on the popular series that looks to be the key to Netflix’s post-Stranger Things future.

Thankfully, Netflix has finally provided some information about on season 2 and it’s decidedly more than a morsel. Today, the streamer announced that production on season 2 is officially underway.

Wednesday was one of Netflix’s biggest hits last year, as the supernatural teen drama starring Jenna Ortega in the titular role became a global hit. Of course, a second season was ordered, and we know that the series is going to begin production later this year, probably eyeing a 2025 release date, although we still don’t have any precise confirmation about the release. Numerous rumors have been circulating in the past months about the cast of the new season, and we’ve finally received a major update that confirms all the major names we are going to see in the upcoming season.

The list is quite comprehensive, as we now know all the main actors who are going to be back for the second season, as well as those who’ve been upped to series regulars. Some guest stars have also been confirmed, as well as recurring characters, but...

Here we woe again. Netflix has announced this morning that production is now underway on “Wednesday” Season 2, and they’ve also revealed the cast with a fun teaser video.

Jenna Ortega stars in the upcoming new season as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán returning as Gomez Addams and Catherine Zeta-Jones back as Morticia Addams.

The “Wednesday” Season 2 cast also includes Joy Sunday as Bianca, Joanna Lumley as Grandmama, Emma Myers as Enid, Steve Buscemi as Barry Dort, Billie Piper as Capri, and Thandiwe Newton as Dr. Fairburn, along with Hunter Doohan, Victor Dorobantu, Moosa Mostafa, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, Georgie Farmer, Isaac Ordonez, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, and Noah Taylor.

Netflix on Tuesday morning unveiled the series regular and guest cast for the upcoming second season of its hit Addams Family spinoff series Wednesday, headlined by Jenna Ortega.

As the announcement suggests — and Deadline has confirmed with sources — three Season 1 series regulars whose characters were alive and well in the finale — Percy Hynes White, Jamie McShane and Naomi J Ogawa — will not be returning in that capacity next season.

Of the three, only McShane is slated to reprise his Sheriff Donovan Galpin role as a guest star, likely to wrap the story of his character who was left devastated in the Season 1 finale by the discovery that his son Tyler (Hunter Doohan) was the Hyde after the sheriff shot and temporarily incapacitated the monster.

In the final minutes of the episode, Tyler was arrested but tried to escape by changing into a Hyde. His storyline will carry on as Doohan...

Netflix has revealed the main cast and guest stars for the upcoming second season of hit supernatural mystery Wednesday, headlined by Jenna Ortega, which has started production in Ireland for a 2025 premiere.

Joining Wednesday as new series regulars are Billie Piper (Scoop), previously revealed Steve Buscemi as well as Evie Templeton (Return to Silent Hill), Owen Painter (Tiny Beautiful Things) and Noah Taylor (Law & Order: Organized Crime).

A teaser, featuring Thing delivering scripts to the cast, reveals the characters for Piper, who will play Capri, and Buscemi, who will portray Barry Dort.

Additionally, four Season 1 recurring/guest star players are being promoted to series regulars: Catherine Zeta-Jones, who plays Wednesday’s mom Morticia Addams; Luis Guzmán (Wednesday’s dad Gomez Addams); Isaac Ordonez (Wednesday’s younger brother Pugsley Addams); and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo (Sheriff Deputy Ritchie Santiago).

Wednesday creators/executive producers Al Gough and Miles Millar had previously hinted...

There lived a carpenter, Jamesm, who was madly in love with a girl named Wilma, the daughter of a marquis. Naturally, her father wasn’t too keen on their marriage because of their different social statuses. Wilma had a special locket that was given to Queen Elizabeth by her true love, Sir Dudley. To show her love for James and to keep their bond strong even when apart, Wilma broke the locket in half and gave one piece to James. The idea was that when they met again, their love would be fulfilled, and the locket would bring them back together. Determined to make a fortune, James left Sussex with the hope of returning to Wilma. As per the legend, the magical locket had the power to reunite true lovers. Now, fast forward to the present day, where Legend of the Lost Locket brings its protagonist, Amelia, the owner of an antique shop.

My standard complaint about the Black Hammer comics is that they’re mostly static, locked into an initial premise that wasn’t all that exciting to begin with. I suppose that’s in distinction to “real” superhero comics, which rely on the façade of change – someone is always dying, someone’s costume is always changing, someone is always making a heel-face turn, and worlds are inevitably always living and dying so that nothing will ever be the same – but it’s not self-reflective enough to count as irony.

But some kinds of stories aren’t supposed to change anything – the whole point is that they don’t, and can’t, change the things we already know. Jam comics by entirely different creators tend to fall into that bucket: they’re sometimes “real” and sometimes not, but even if they’re canonical, they don’t push the canon in any direction.

“Wednesday’s child is full of woe.”

When Charles Addams was helping turn his amusing gothic New Yorker cartoons into a television series, the little girl needed a name, and he used a line from an old-time children’s poem. He’d been at the drawing board with these characters since 1938, although Gomez and Morticia’s daughter didn’t arrive until 1944. At different times, she was older or younger than her sibling, Pugsley.

Ever since her arrival, Wednesday has been a fixture, her pale skin, pig-tailed black hair, and solemn expression imprinted on future generations of Goth girls. From Lisa Loring to Christina Ricci, the live-action look has endured as the character has aged from her purported six years old in the original series pilot to 18 in the 2010 Broadway musical adaptation.

Thora Birch has been performing in Hollywood since she was just a tiny tyke, famously playing Dani Dennison in the cult Halloween classic "Hocus Pocus," where she becomes the target of the malevolent Sanderson sisters. But although one of her most memorable roles came in 1993, when she was just 11 years old, that was far from the end of her career as an actress. Birch has continued to work in the industry, lending her talents to television series, films, music videos, and even podcasts over the years. 

Birch's career has been defined by a few standout performances in films that captured the imaginations of audiences everywhere, but one of the most inspiring aspects of her time in Hollywood is that whenever she has been in danger of being completely subsumed by these larger-than-life roles, she shifts gears, navigating a career as a performer on her own terms. If you haven't given...

It's been almost a full year since the first season of "Wednesday" arrived on Netflix, starring Jenna Ortega's sardonic goth teenage student-turned-detective version of the "Addams Family" character. But since the show premiered after Halloween, it looks like Netflix wanted to wait until it was prime time for the creepy and kooky character to begin a proper merchandise push from the usual suspects like Funko and Loungefly.

While we wait for a second season of "Wednesday" to come to fruition, a small collection of Funko POPs and Loungefly bags and accessories inspired by Wednesday Addams have been released. Not only has Jenna Ortega and her black striped ensemble been brought to life in collectible figurine and mini backpack form, but her unlikely friend and polar opposite, Enid Sinclair, has been given a Funko Pop too. Check out the new "Wednesday" collection from Funko and Loungefly below.

This story about “Wednesday” costume designer Colleen Atwood first appeared in the Down to the Wire: Comedy issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.

When Colleen Atwood was a child, her parents had a Charles Addams sketch hanging on a wall in their home. So when the four-time Oscar winner was hired to design the costumes for Netflix’s “Wednesday,” she was well acquainted with the world of the amusingly macabre clan that Addams first created in comic strip form in 1938.

For Atwood, the challenge was to honor that legacy while bringing Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday and Pugsley Addams (plus Thing!) into the 21st century.

“My vision for the costumes was a contemporary connectivity feeling, for young people to see the Addams family as people, as opposed to cartoonish,” she said.

“Wednesday” is Atwood’s fifteenth collaboration with Tim Burton, who exec-produced the series...

Curated by the IndieWire Crafts team, Craft Considerations is a platform for filmmakers to talk about recent work we believe is worthy of awards consideration. In partnership with Netflix, for this edition, we look at how production design, costume design, and visual effects of “Wednesday” all came together to build a world worthy of Wednesday Addams.

If there isn’t already, one day there will be an “Addams Family” filter on Instagram: something that makes you look gaunter and paler and turns all your clothing black and white. There’s a nebulous pop culture idea of what an Addams Family story looks like — some combination of spooky mist and gothic arches and a lot of eyeshadow — but executing a contemporary version of Charles Addams’ creations and shaping it around precocious daughter Wednesday requires a level of specificity that goes beyond an all-black mandate — although adapting everything up to and...

The fourth episode of this season of And Just Like That ended with Carrie attending Enid’s party, and she surprisingly had a good time meeting plenty of aging women who strive to live independently. Che and Miranda are just trying to get along with each other as partners now that they are back from the shoot. Miranda is not as flexible as she thought she would be. Charlotte and Harry had a good month with their kids out of the house; meanwhile, Lisa and Herbert salvaged their anniversary party by announcing that Herbert would run for the post of City Comptroller.

Spoilers Ahead

Miranda And Che’s Early Morning Woes

The episode begins at Che’s apartment, where Miranda and they have two different sleep schedules. Miranda, for the longest time, was used to a certain lifestyle, but with Che and their friends around, she hardly gets her glory sleep.

The third episode of And Just Like That ended with Carrie finally coming to terms with the fact that John is gone, and her way of moving on is to make a recording of chapter three of her book on grief for her audiobook. Miranda finally comes back to New York to be there for her son, who is going through a breakup. Charlotte and Lisa had a surprisingly good week at school. It would be interesting to watch how the story unfolds from here.

Carrie And Enid Revisit

Carrie runs into Enid, her old boss and mentor from Vogue, during breakfast. The meeting was unexpected, but the reaction to seeing each other was very real. The two of them have moved on a lot since their last stint together at Enid’s party at her home. By the looks of it, the two of them have stayed...

The most recent episode of And Just Like That… brought the return of icy but beloved Enid Frick, Carrie Bradshaw’s Vogue editor. The famed character first appeared in the tail end of Sex and the City. Two years after Sex and the City wrapped, Meryl Streep took on the role of Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada. Fans quickly noticed the similarities between the two characters, both appearing to have been based on the real-life Vogue editor, Anna Wintour. The fourth episode of season 2, “Alive!,” just revealed that Enid and Miranda have something else in common; they live in the same house.

Enid Frick and Miranda Priestly seem to be based on the same person

When Carrie Bradshaw was hired as a freelancer for Vogue, she came face-to-face with one of her toughest critics. Enid Frick, the editor of Vogue, didn’t find Carrie Bradshaw charming or cute.

Carrie is feeling old after her former Vogue editor Enid (hi, Candice Bergen!) reaches out to her to write for her new online magazine aimed at older women. Seema points out, though, that Enid’s newsletter is very influential, and maybe she’ll include a plug for Carrie’s new book if she says yes. Meanwhile, Charlotte is feeling young again after her kids go off to summer camp and she and...

Spoiler alert! If you haven’t seen season 2, episode 4 of “And Just Like That”, proceed with caution.

Is “And Just Like That” finally hitting its stride? The “Sex and the City” reboot is four episodes into its sophomore season, and Thursday’s episode proved to be its best yet.

With Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) back in New York City, the original gang, including Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte York Goldenblatt (Kristin Davis), and honorary member Anthony Marantino (Mario Cantone), is able to meet up for lunch for some gossip and dirty talk, just like the old days.

There are quips about Miranda’s new fluid lifestyle with Anthony calling her “Rachel Maddow.” There are not-so-subtle euphemisms on Charlotte’s part — mayo, confetti, and a finale of fireworks (Happy July 4th!), no less — and at the heart of it, there’s the friendships fans of the original “Sex and the City...

“It is true, but we don’t know who it is!

This story about the production design of “Wednesday” first appeared in the Comedy Series issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.

Creepy. Kooky. Spooky. Ooky. All of these adjectives are naturally in play when you’re adapting a spinoff series of “The Addams Family” — even more so when Tim Burton is your boss. For “Wednesday” production designer Mark Scruton, that made him as happy as Wednesday Addams witnessing a torture chamber.

“When I got this gig, I very consciously did not watch any of [the past adaptations],” Scruton said. “I did go back to the Charles Addams cartoons very specifically, but we wanted to take it back to that original core look and aesthetic. Tim responds to his heart and he’s a minimalist and likes things very precise and composed, rather than lots of background fluff, so it was a great jumping-off point for us.”

Wednesday showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar remember vividly the unusual circumstances of their first conversation with Tim Burton. The filmmaker, who they hoped they could convince to join their show, was piping in from a garden full of “life-size” dinosaur models at his U.K. home. “He was wandering around his dinosaur garden talking to us on FaceTime about his love of Wednesday Addams, and the idea that the script spoke to him in terms of being the ultimate outsider,” remembers Millar of this virtual meeting in 2020 with Burton. Just a week before, the duo were doubtful Burton would even meet with them. They had already written the entire season with the help of a pandemic-era virtual writers room, but wanted Burton’s expertise and special touches. “We were told by everyone, ‘Tim’s never done television. We don’t even know if he’ll read it,’ ” recalls Gough.

It's not a summer without a touch of cruelty to it. Throw in a thrilling mystery, some shady suspects, and many heart-pounding twists and turns, and you've got Freeform's addictive murder mystery, Cruel Summer.

The return of this sleeper hit kicked off a brand new case that will excite and keep us guessing.

And based on the set-up of Cruel Summer Season 2 Episode 1 and Cruel Summer Season 2 Episode 2, plenty of secrets are rising to the surface. We've got a summer of intrigue and drama awaiting us, Cruel Summer fans.

For Cruel Summer Season 2, many of the same elements from Cruel Summer Season 1 returned. Like the color grading through the years, the computer intro (which I'm calling the "archive"), and the time jumping.

These aspects worked before, so I'm glad they weren't dropped for the new story. These pieces make Cruel Summer feel like Cruel Summer.

One thing that surprised...

The cast for Max‘s And Just Like That... continues to expand as Candice Bergen, Gloria Steinem, and Sam Smith are set to appear in the upcoming second season of the Sex and the City sequel. As first reported by Entertainment Weekly, Bergen will reprise her role as Enid Frick, Carrie’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) Vogue editor who starred in the original series. Bergen’s Frick first appeared in the fourth season of Sex and the City and returned for one-off episodes in Seasons 5 and 6. The last time she was seen in the franchise was the 2008 Sex and the City film. “Candice Bergen is back as Enid, which we’re thrilled about because I always loved Enid,” And Just Like That... showrunner Michael Patrick King told EW. But that’s not all; the second season will also feature some big-name guest stars, including journalist and activist Gloria Steinem, who will play herself.

“And Just Like That” some more familiar faces are joining the cast of the “Sex and the City” reboot for season 2.

Per Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Michael Patrick King has confirmed that Candice Bergen, who played Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker)’s Vogue editor, Enid Frick, in “Satc” and the first of the first of the franchise’s films, is officially reprising her role.

“Candice Bergen is back as Enid, which we’re thrilled about because I always loved Enid,” King told the magazine. “She is a cold, wonderful diva of publishing.”

Last viewers saw Enid was in the “Sex and the City” movie in 2008. Fans of the film recall Enid asking Carrie to model in Vogue as the magazine’s “The Last Single Girl” for their bridal issue, ahead of her wedding to the now deceased “Mr. Big” (Chris Noth).

Bergen was spotted back on the show’s New York City set in December,...

Christina Ricci came to fame at just 10 years of age when she took on the role of Wednesday Addams in 1991’s “The Addams Family.” She gave the character a deadpan aura and the actress is still best-known for this sardonic wit. Ricci reprised the role in 1993’s “Addams Family Values,” where she solidified her take on the character, who was 12-13 years old in the movies, as the defining one. Three decades later, she returned to the world of “The Addams Family” in Netflix’s “Wednesday “— but not as Wednesday Addams.

Instead, that role went to Jenna Ortega, who is re-defining the character, now age 16, with her uber-popular performance. The comedy series sees Wednesday enrolling at Nevermore Academy. Ricci plays Marilyn Thornhill — Nevermore Academy’s science teacher and Wednesday’s dorm mother. At first, it seemed like Marilyn would be a neat little cameo-like role for Ricci that would satisfy fans of the original movies.

Slasher: Ripper follows a mysterious serial killer in 19th-century Toronto amidst other violent acts committed by the people of the city. But “Widow,” as the killer is dubbed by Enid Jenkins, the town’s journalist, isn’t killing random people; everything relates to a particular event that took place 12 years ago. Young Detective Kenneth is right on target in his search for the Widow, but his boss isn’t keen on finding out who is after his city because he may have been involved in the crime that went down 12 years ago. Slasher is definitely for pure indulgence, as every episode ends or begins with a grisly death that the viewer looks forward to; sometimes, it almost feels like an overacted play.

Netflix, perennially a key player in the Emmy race, is launching its 2023 Emmy campaigns on Wednesday with a, well, Wednesday-themed stunt.

Indeed, many voters and tastemakers will receive a hump-day visit — and hand-delivery of goodies — from a trio associated with the streamer’s hit comedy series: “Lurch,” the Addams family’s butler, who will be driving a class black 1930s hearse; “Wednesday Addams,” the titular teenager with psychic powers; and “Thing,” the sentient disembodied hand.

Additionally, The Hollywood Reporter has learned, Netflix will — for the fifth year in a row, but for the first year at Red Studios at 846 N. Cahuenga Blvd. in Los Angeles — welcome TV Academy members to an elaborate “FYSee Space” at which it will showcase activations and host star-studded panels and performances in promotion of its numerous Emmy hopefuls. The FYSee Space will be open from Friday, May 5 through Friday, May 26.

In episode 1 of “Slasher: Ripper,” we saw that a woman in a black veil was going around killing men who might have been involved in a murder 12 years earlier. She is ruthless in her killings and has left a subtle note in the first one of her murders to warn the perpetrators of the said murders. A detective named Kenneth is slowly but surely getting on the “widow’s” trail (as she is dubbed by the local journalist). On the other hand, the Botticelli household has a new sister in town, but she is being treated as an intruder and punished for sins she did not commit by her elder sisters. A man named Basil Garvey looks to be at the center of it all, with many enemies. Will this power-hungry man face his enemies soon?

Just like no man, no character lives on an island.

Rabbit Hole's John Weir has many people in his orbit, including a feisty FBI Agent, Jo Madi (Enid Graham), who is always one step behind him, a bad guy who is one step ahead called The Intern, or just Kyle (Walt Klink), and the man John is trying to protect, even if he doesn't know it yet, Edward Homm (Rob Yang).

We caught a little time with them on a recent press day to see if they could shed some light on their characters, among other things. Take a look!

Let's start with you, Rob, because you're alive. Yay!

Rob: Yay. I made it through. I thought it was going to be a spoiler. I thought for sure that they would not want to include me in any of this because then you know that I'd survive.

“Rabbit Hole” stars Kiefer Sutherland as a corporate espionage consultant who must go on the run after being framed for murder by a shadowy but powerful group, a character that is used to being on the receiving end of punches, quite unlike the character he’s best known for on “24.”

The Paramount+ series pairs Sutherland with “Crazy, Stupid Love,” “This is Us” and “WeCrashed” writer-directors John Requa and Glenn Ficarra. When they pitched him on a series that’s a throwback to ’70s conspiracy thrillers “Three Days of the Condor” and “Marathon Man” and “The Parallax View,” he was fully on board. “I’m so lucky that they called me first,” Sutherland told TheWrap ahead of the series premiere on March 26.

“24” fans will be pleased to see the actor back in thriller territory, but his “Rabbit Hole” character John Weir is very different from Jack Bauer. For one thing, it...
