Wednesday season 2 will feature some changes that might surprise you. One of them is that filming will switch locations entirely!
Wednesday season 2 has had a troublesome start so far. Not only has filming been delayed until now because of the SAG-AFTRA strikes, but there were also some changes they made to the cast, as one of the main cast members, Percy Hynes White, was subject to SA allegations. Now, it looks like filming is finally scheduled to start any time now, but with one major change.
Filming For Wednesday Season 2 Will Reportedly Change Locations
Netflix has been delivering lately with their original series like Castlevania: Nocturne, One Piece and more. One of the biggest series of 2022 was Wednesday , which took the internet by storm and has therefore been quickly confirmed for a second season. Now that filming is finally beginning, thanks to Deadline, we are now also privy to the show's new filming location.
Yep, you heard that right. Unlike the show's first installment, which was filmed in Romania, season 2 will be filming in Ireland. Whether that means that the story will also unfold in Ireland, or if it's the same setting as the first season, is still up in the air. Personally, I wouldn't mind a departure from Nevermore Academy, as that story has pretty much already been told.
This might also fit perfectly with the shift in tone that Jenna Ortega promised in an Actors & Actors video, produced by Variety. As the actress explained, their plan is to focus on the horror elements of the show and “ditch any romantic love interest for Wednesday”. Sounds good as that was by far the worst plot point of the first season.
Maybe they'll dive into Irish folklore, which has a lot of iconic and terrifying creatures, like Banshees, or Leprechauns (which can be legit scary), as well as different version of iconic creatures, like demons, vampires and more.
As you can see, Wednesday season 2 begins to look even more promising if they include them relocating to Ireland into the plot of the show, but we'll have to wait for further information to know for sure.
