Season 2 of the hit Netflix Addams Family series Wednesday started filming in Ireland last May and is now making its way through post-production – and series star Jenna Ortega says that when the new season starts streaming, we can expect to see a lot of horror references in its episodes. There will even be an episode based on slasher movies!

Wednesday comes to us from Millar Gough Ink, Tim Burton Productions, Toluca Pictures, and MGM Television, and is described as a comedic, supernaturally-infused coming-of-age series that follows the teenage girl’s years as a student at Nevermore Academy, where she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the town, and solve a mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new relationships at Nevermore.

The Gorge Is Inspired by Horror Video Games

The Gorge...

What do you get when you throw sci-fi, romance, action, horror, and a touch of espionage into a blender and hit “puree”? You get “The Gorge,” a high-octane, emotionally charged ode to action B-movies and Italian horror that refuses to be put into a single box. Written by Zach Dean, the film stars Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy, along with Sigourney Weaver and William Houston in a wild, visually stunning story about two elite operatives on opposite sides of a classified conflict who are forced to work together when a terrifying presence emerges from the depths of a mysterious gorge.

Two elite sharpshooters-turned-assassins are hired separately for a secret mission to guard either side of a gorge that contains a mysterious threat in remote, secret location. On one side of the gorge is ex-Marine Levi (Miles Teller), hired by the U.S. Army, and on the other is Lithuanian assassin Drasa (Anya Taylor-Joy), hired by the Russians, in a secret agreement between the West and the East that has persisted since the early years of the Cold War. This unlikely agreement was made to contain a threat so deadly that both sides want it confined to this remote gorge, and this decades-long arrangement is so secret, even the U.S. Presidents were unaware of it. Each year, countries in the West and nations in the East send a new guard to man the tower on their side of the gorge.

How far would you go for a worthy love story? It's the most pressing question at the forefront of "The Gorge" for its two main leads, rival snipers played with effortless chemistry by Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller. Separated by thousands of meters of canyon depths, the vast gulf between them only exacerbates their need for connection. Yet, intentional or not, this also doubles as an inadvertent commentary on the state of the genre these days. It's no secret that 2024 was a fairly dire year when it comes to rom-coms. But no matter how many decisionmakers in charge want to pretend otherwise, audiences clearly remain starved for something that delivers romance.

As much as filmmakers might want to make straightforward romances, however, they've had far better luck sneaking them into larger genre plays. Think of "Twisters" using the backdrop of CGI tornadoes to do an enemies-to-lovers ship (even if it...

Miles Teller certainly scored points in Top Gun: Maverick, but now with The Gorge he has really flown into the danger zone.

Valentine’s Day is certainly appropriate to release this hybrid of several genres including horror, sci-fi, action and romance, the latter due to a clever “meet cute” angle between two sharp-shooting assassins hired to guard East and West towers separated by 600 meters, below them an imposing, dense, foggy forest that holds a dark secret.

No doubt it is a lonely job when Bartholomew (Sigourney Weaver), the shady corporate operative who is one of the few who knows of the top kept secret of what the Gorge holds, recruits Levi (Teller), an ex-Marine and private contractor, a hit man talented with guns and weapons who Bartholomew decides is perfect for the yearlong assignment of making sure there is no escape from the mysterious gorge, a place of which even nine Russian heads and 13 U.

To say director Scott Derrickson likes to take his time between movies would be an understatement. His 2016 MCU hit Doctor Strange wasn't followed up until five years later by the 2021 horror smash The Black Phone. Now, four years after that, his latest thriller The Gorge is set to debut on Apple TV+ on Feb. 14, and first reactions to the film have revealed if it's worth the wait.

Folks who got an early preview of The Gorge are taking to X to share their thoughts about Derrickson's latest, which stars Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy as two snipers hired to guard either side of a deep and impenetrable gorge, without knowing what actually lies beneath them. Thus far, reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, which comes as no surprise, as Derrickson is the same person behind other hits like Sinister, and The Exorcism of Emily Rose; two movies that clearly prove the...

The Gorge director Scott Derrickson opened up about his newest sci-fi action horror movie, which will feature Golden Globe winner Anya Taylor-Joy as an elite sniper tasked with guarding the gateway to hell. This marks Derrickson’s first high-profile action movie in a while, after directing Doctor Strange in 2016.

In an interview with GamesRadar+, Derrickson confirmed that he was inspired by several popular horror video games like Silent Hill and Until Dawn, during the development and production of The Gorge. "I love those games, and I do think that gaming has sort of set the bar for gun-play action, especially if you're really with a single character or two characters, you kind of can't beat it," he shared. "I think that the challenge of the movie was not letting it fall into just the straight, chaotic stimulus of gaming-type action. The challenge was to have that kind of stimulus and power and really utilize that.

You might not expect a film by Scott Derrickson to feature a sexy dance scene set to a song by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, but you get it in The Gorge, his new horror romance coming to Apple TV+ on Feb. 14. "All the needle drops, those are all choices that I made, that I felt were right for those scenes," explained Derrickson in a recent interview with MovieWeb. "I wanted there to be a real dance number instead of a sex scene. It was kind of more of a sex scene in the script. And I was like, 'That's not romantic enough.' You know, I want to stretch it out. Have a real — when was last time you saw a real romantic dance scene in a movie?"

Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy are the dancers (and snipers) who guard a mysterious gorge, not to keep people out, but to keep something in.

Horror remains one of the most popular genres in modern cinema, and new franchises in the genre, like Terrifier, continue to find success.

Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller play a pair of isolated soldiers whose skills and strong bond help them through an extended mission guarding an isolated and mysterious location in The Gorge.

The ensemble cast of the movie also includes iconic Alien and Ghostbusters star Sigourney Weaver alongside Gangs of London's Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù and Wednesday's William Houston.

Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller share why their genre-blending action, horror, and romance film The Gorge is the perfect Valentine's Day pick. Directed by Scott Derrickson, The Gorge follows two snipers, Drasa (Taylor-Joy) and Levi (Teller), assigned to opposite sides of a mysterious chasm to prevent any entities from escaping. Despite orders not to communicate, the two bond across the gorge, only to face a world-threatening horror emerging from the depths. The film also stars Sigourney Weaver, William Houston, and Samantha Coughlan. The Gorge is set to premiere on Apple TV+ on February 14, 2025.

In a recent interview with Screen Rant’s own Brennan Klein at Ccxp, Taylor-Joy and Teller discussed how the movie’s unconventional love story in a mix of high-octane survival action and horror makes it an exciting option for couples and sci-fi fanatics alike. Taylor-Joy lauded the movie’s multi-genre appeal, while Teller described it as an...

Apple + Skydance have revealed the official trailer for an intriguing new sci-fi action thriller called The Gorge, a new film directed by Scott Derrickson. This is ready to drop on Apple TV+ beginning in February, just in time for Valentine's Day, early next year - unfortunately it's only getting a streaming debut and no theatrical release (as far as we know). Two highly-trained sniper operatives (Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy) are appointed to posts within guard towers on opposite sides of a vast and highly classified gorge, protecting the world from an undisclosed, mysterious evil that lurks within. They bond from a distance while trying to stay vigilant in defending against an unseen enemy. Despite the corrupt and lethal world they operate in – they still find a soulmate in each other. Ah so that's why it's a Valentine's Day release. It co-stars Anya Taylor-Joy & Miles Teller,...

Scott Derrickson’s The Gorge has had a long jump to screens, first coming to light on the annual Black List (a compiling of that year’s best unproduced screenplays) and not officially moving forward in any capacity until two years later. Now, ahead of its release next year comes the official trailer.

Revealed at this year’s Comic Con Experience in Brazil, the trailer for Scott Derrickson’s The Gorge looks to give just the sort of hype that the cast and crew would want after such an extensive wait. The movie stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller as “two soldiers who are tasked with guarding a seemingly never-ending gorge with one agent posted on either side.” Sigourney Weaver and William Houston co-star.

The film, which combines elements of action, romance, and thriller genres, stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller, who are already turning heads with their on-screen chemistry.

In ‘The Gorge’, Taylor-Joy plays Drasa, a formidable assassin who never fails to complete her assignments.

Her latest mission places her in a remote and mysterious location, directly opposite Teller’s character, Levi, an elite U.S. military sniper stationed for a year-long vigil.

Despite strict orders preventing them from communicating, the trailer hints at the duo finding innovative ways to connect, teasing a tantalizing plot where personal and professional lines blur.

The film’s setting, referred to as the ‘door to hell’, is a vast, secretive gorge harboring a dangerous and unknown threat.

Fresh off her appearance in this year’s Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Anya Taylor-Joy has been tapped to star in Apple TV+’s latest thriller, Lucky, which is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Marissa Stapley. Taylor-Joy starred as Imperator Furiosa in the George Miller production back in May, which unfortunately didn’t live up to expectations, taking in just $173 million at the box office against a budget of $168 million.

Still, Taylor-Joy’s stock remains high thanks to a number of hits in recent years, including The Menu, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and a brief appearance in Dune: Part 2. The Hollywood Reporter mentions that she’ll also serve as an executive producer on Lucky, alongside Reese Witherspoon through her Hello Sunshine label. The thriller comes by way of creator Jonathan Tropper, who’ll also serve as co-showrunner along with Cassie Pappas.

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.

When the writers strike ended near the start of October, we heard that the top priorities at the Netflix streaming service were to get the scripts for Stranger Things season 5 (the final season of that show) and Wednesday season 2 finished. Stranger Things season 5 is expected to go into production any day now, and Deadline reports that Wednesday season 2 is expected to start filming in late April. When this season goes into production, the cast and crew will be reporting to set in an entirely different country than they worked in during the first season. While season 1 was filmed in Romania, season 2 is moving to Ireland.

Wednesday Season 1 originally debuted on Nov. 16, 2022, effectively missing out on the Halloween season. With Wednesday Season 2 well underway, it could benefit to debut in October to capitalize on The Addams Family's spookier elements during Halloween. Though Netflix hasn't set a release date for Wednesday Season 2, there's still a way for fans to encourage the streamer to aim for an October release.

In the fall of 2022, one of the biggest missed opportunities of Wednesday Season 1 was Netflix not releasing it on Halloween or the month of October to capitalize on the spookiest month of the year. However, since Wednesday dominated Netflix as the number one show on the streaming service for a whole month, fans can make this happen again during the month of October ahead of the show's first year anniversary.

Revisiting Wednesday while the Halloween season is being celebrated around the globe can only lead to positive outcomes.

Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that Jenna Ortega is entering the “Wednesday” episode “Friend or Woe” as her 2023 Emmy Award submission for Best Comedy Actress. The episode aired on November 23 and is the third episode of the first season of the Netflix series.

In this installment, a drawing in a book Wednesday (Ortega) has confiscated from the library leads her to a fair, where she sees a painting of the same girl, an ancestor of hers, who’s been in her visions. Wednesday sees another vision of the girl about to be executed by town founder Joseph Crackstone (William Houston), but the girl escapes. After getting attacked by the monster, Wednesday crashes the town ceremony and orders Thing to destroy the statue of Crackstone.

Warning! Spoilers for Wednesday season 1!

With Wednesday season 2 confirmed by Netflix, there’s a distinct possibility that a dead character could return. While they can be difficult to spot, shows often try to set up plot points or hint toward future seasons, regardless of whether they are renewed for more episodes or not. While this tactic can be disappointing when a show is canceled, it helps make the seasons of a show that is renewed more cohesive, allowing them to set up and pay off more elements down the line. One example of this could be in Wednesday’s season 1 finale, though it’s so subtle as to be easily missed.

As part of today’s Tudum fan event, the Netflix streaming service has just unveiled a new video that shows Wednesday cast members Jenna Ortega, Joy Sunday, Emma Myers, and Hunter Doohan discussing some of the theories fans have come up about season 2 – and while doing so they confirm that we’ll be seeing another familiar member of the Addams family in the new season! They just aren’t able to say exactly who that Addams family member is. The video can be seen in the embed above.

Wednesday is described as a comedic, supernaturally-infused coming-of-age series that follows the teenage girl’s years as a student at Nevermore Academy, where she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the town, and solve a mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new relationships at Nevermore. Snap snap.

Ortega...

Once Jenna Ortega was hard at work playing the title character on Netflix’s Addams Family series Wednesday, she became so dedicated to making sure the title character came off just right that she would even change lines from the way they were written in the scripts. But during an interview with the UK’s Times, she revealed that she initially passed on the chance to star in Wednesday.

Ortega told the Times (as reported by Deadline), “I got the email, passed on it. I had done so much TV in my life, all I’ve ever wanted to do is film. I was scared that by signing on to another television show it could prevent me from doing other jobs I really wanted and cared about.“

It was the involvement of Tim Burton, who executive produced the series and directed four of the first season’s eight episodes, that...

Jenna Ortega, star of Netflix’s hit Addams Family series Wednesday, has previously said she had to struggle with directors on the show who didn’t always trust the approach she was taking to the character. Starting with Tim Burton, who directed half of the show’s first season and didn’t want Ortega to show any expression or emotion at all. Something she didn’t feel would work for a lead character who had to push the plot forward. Now in an interview with Variety, Ortega revealed that she also had to change lines from the scripts because they weren’t true to her character.

Ortega said, “I don’t think I’ve ever had to put my foot down more on a set in a way that I had to on Wednesday. Everyhing that Wednesday does, everything I had to play, did not make sense for her character at all.

Warning! This Article Contains Spoilers for Wednesday, Season 1.Despite seemingly dying towards the end of Wednesday Season 1, there is a chance for Principal Weems (Gwendoline Christie) to return in season 2. When last seen in the season finale, Weems is seemingly killed while she and Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) are confronting Marilyn Thornhill (Christina Ricci), who turns out to be responsible for unleashing the Hyde on students of Nevermore Academy. Thornhill, who is actually Laurel Gates, a descendent of Jericho town founder Joseph Crackstone (William Houston), ends up injecting a poisoned syringe into Weems.

The death of Principal Weems left many plot threads unresolved, such as her efforts to have the town of Jericho accept the outcasts of Nevermore Academy or her apparent disdain of Gomez Addams (Luis Guzmán) choosing Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) over her. With Wednesday officially renewed for a second season, there is a chance Principal Weems can return from the dead.

Now that it’s official that Netflix’s Wednesday, following the adventures of titular Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), is returning to us for a second season, there’s a lot to consider about where the story could go. After being sent to Nevermore Academy by her parents Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez (Luis Guzmán), Wednesday arrived with one intention: Running away. However, she stuck it out, found her place at the school, and even helped solve the mystery of the mysterious monster roaming about and murdering people that had plagued Nevermore and the neighboring town Jericho for weeks before her arrival. Plus, she stopped a resurrected hate-monger with mystical abilities, Joseph Crackstone (William Houston), from destroying Nevermore and ridding the world of outcasts. In just eight episodes, Wednesday experienced tremendous growth, made several new and intriguing relationships, looked death in the face, and faced off against many enemies. She’s...

Director Tim Burton made his television directing debut by taking the helm of the first four episodes of the Netflix series Wednesday‘s eight episode first season. And when the time came to choose who would provide the music for the show, Burton went with his frequent collaborator Danny Elfman, who had also never worked in episodic TV before (aside from composing themes). Speaking with IndieWire, Elfman discussed the fact that he brought in a partner to help him face the challenge of composing the score for a TV series.

Elfman said, “I brought on a partner, Chris Bacon, to work with me because I’d never done episodic television. I was afraid that there was going to be a learning curve that was going to be kind of crushing. And it was. It’s like nothing I’ve ever experienced before, you’re dealing with delivering full scores, almost...

With this Netflix's dark comedy series being told from the perspective of the Addams family's eldest child, Wednesday, viewers get to learn more about this deadpan, gothic teenager as she gradually evolves. From her arrival at Nevermore to defeating the villainous Joseph Crackstone (William Houston), many become a part of Wednesday’s journey and gradual development, learning to love and understand her weird nature. The series has become incredibly popular, with Wednesday being a major reason for its success. However, as the season progresses, it becomes clear that Wednesday, although a fascinating character, has her flaws.

The Addams Family series Wednesday has turned out to be a massive hit for the Netflix streaming service – in fact, in less than a month of release, it has already become Netflix’s second-most popular English-language series of all time. So there seems to be almost no question that we’re going to be getting Wednesday season 2… Netflix just hasn’t officially ordered it yet. And while speaking to Variety about the show’s success, Netflix executive Peter Friedlander (the service’s head of U.S. and Canada scripted series) still couldn’t confirm if or when that new season order is going to be made.

Friedlander told Variety, “I have nothing to confirm at this time. I am optimistic about Wednesday. We’ll leave it at that. Weirdly, because it feels different, but we’re just two weeks into the launch of Wednesday. So we’re still really at...

The Addams Family series Wednesday (read our review Here) is massive, record-breaking hit for the Netflix streaming service that has had people talking about it ever since it premiered almost four weeks ago. To make sure people keep talking about the show, Netflix has now released a bloopers video that shows some of the laughs the cast had behind the scenes. You can check it out at the bottom of this article.

Half of Wednesday‘s eight episode season was directed by Tim Burton, with Gandja Monteiro and James Marshall splitting directing duties on the other four episodes. Created by showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar, Wednesday is described as

a comedic, supernaturally-infused coming-of-age series that follows the teenage girl’s years as a student at Nevermore Academy, where she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the town, and solve a...

This post contains spoilers for Netflix's "Wednesday" series.

2022 has been a banner year for Jenna Ortega. While she's been working for a decade now, it wasn't until her roles in "Jane the Virgin" and "You" that she caught the world's attention. She's since appeared in several shows, including "Big City Greens," and a slew of high-profile films, such as "Scream" (2022) and "X." Along with excellent turns in "The Fallout" and Netflix's "Wednesday," Ortega has commanded the conversation. She's more than a scream queen: Ortega is the moment.

Ortega's body of work also includes appearances in television series like "Stuck in the Middle" and roles in "Insidious: Chapter 2" and "The Babysitter: Killer Queen." Her other credits this year include "Carnage" and "Studio 666," a Dave Grohl-produced horror-comedy. Whenever Ortega appears on screen, you'll know it. She draws you into her world with performances that are grounded, authentic, and complex.

This article contains spoilers for the ending of Wednesday.

Netflix’s Wednesday certainly delivered thick and fast with the mysteries and twists this season, so you’ll be forgiven if you weren’t entirely able to keep up.

Forget “lions and tigers and bears, oh my!” like The Wizard Of Oz, this creepy and kooky teen (played by Jenna Ortega) wasted no time before falling into trouble at Nevermore Academy. After that, life-threatening danger just kept on coming her way.

But while Wednesday definitely went wrong on more than one occasion, it turns out this macabre character was on to something when it came to monsters – both human and supernatural. In fact, it was kind of her destiny.

So who exactly was the monster stalking the woods of the school grounds, and why was some mystery force specifically targeting her?

Here’s how the season 1 finale played out.

Wednesday: Who and What Was the Monster?...
