When is Wednesday coming to Netflix?
All we can do at this stage is speculate when Wednesday will be coming to Netflix as it is far too early for any official release date to be announced.
At the earliest, we could potentially see Wednesday arrive in the Fall of 2022. A Halloween-themed release would be very apt given the character of Wednesday Addams, but it’s still a stretch. However, it’s more likely we’ll see the series land in late 2022 or early 2023.
What is the production status of Wednesday?
Official Production Status: post-production (Last Updated: 16/09/2021)
Principal photography began on the project in September 2021 and took place in Romania. Filming lasted for a few months before coming to an end sometime in January 2022.
Filming is now underway for Wednesday! Principal photography began in early September, but it’s currently unknown when filming is scheduled to finish.
What is the episode count for Wednesday?
It has already been confirmed that the first season of Wednesday will have a total of eight episodes.
The runtime of each episode is approximately 60 minutes.
Is Wednesday a Limited Series?
It still remains unclear if Netflix will only receive one season of Wednesday.
There’s no doubt in our minds that Wednesday is going to be extremely popular with subscribers, and is likely going to be one of the biggest Originals released on Netflix since Stranger Things, The Umbrella Academy, and The Witcher.
The idea of a second season is likely to rest heavily in the hands of Tim Burton, who has the reigns on the series as showrunner, director, and executive producer.
When is the Wednesday Netflix release date?
Netflix has not confirmed a release date for Wednesday as of yet. However, with filming now over and the series in post-production we expect to see it arrive before the end of 2022.
Given the gothic horror themes of The Addams Family-related content, we think the series would be perfect for Netflix’s Halloween 2022 line-up.
