Will Tim Burton direct any episodes in 'Wednesday' S2
The second season of Netflix's popular series Wednesday is currently in the works, with fans eagerly awaiting its release. The show, a spin-off from The Addams Family, focuses on the character of Wednesday Addams. In a recent interview with Collider, co-creator Al Gough confirmed that renowned filmmaker Tim Burton will be directing half of the upcoming season's episodes.
Burton's involvement in 'Wednesday' Season 2
When asked about Burton's involvement in the second season of Wednesday, Gough revealed that the filmmaker will be directing four episodes, similar to his contribution in the first season. "He's doing four. He's doing half the season like he did in Season 1," Gough said. However, he did not specify which episodes Burton will be overseeing.
Gough praises Burton's dedication to the series
Gough expressed his appreciation for Burton's commitment to the series, comparing it to his dedication while making Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. He emphasized that Burton's involvement stems from his genuine love for the material, not a desire for financial gain or contractual obligations. "He just loves the show and he loves doing it and loves working with Jenna and it's great." Ortega was also a part of Burton's recent directorial Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
'Wednesday' Season 2: Production status and plot details
According to Gough, the second season of Wednesday is "about halfway through production," with Burton still working on his assigned episodes. The upcoming season will further explore the mysteries of Jericho town and introduce a two-year time gap between the finale of the first season and the premiere of the second. This narrative approach opens up numerous possibilities for the series' storyline.
Season 2 to feature more action and horror
Ortega has revealed that the second season will incorporate more action and horror elements, drawing inspiration from films like Prom Night and Carrie. However, the romantic aspect of the show, which was perceived as a weak point in the first season, will be toned down. This shift in focus will allow the series to delve deeper into Wednesday's friendships and emphasize its horror components. The first season was released in November 2022.
