Netflix has officially renewed “Wandinha” for season 2, confirming the return of one of the most popular series on the platform. Starring Jenna Ortega, the series won over millions of viewers around the world and even surpassed “Stranger Things” in hours watched, establishing itself as a global phenomenon.
After a long wait, Netflix announced this Friday, January 6, that “Wednesday” will have a second season. This news comes as a reward for fans who eagerly awaited the continuation of the adventures of the daughter of the Addams Family. The success of the series last year was remarkable, remaining popular in several countries and receiving praise from both critics and the public.
During Comic Con, Jenna Ortega, who plays the protagonist Wandinha, and Christina Ricci, known for her role as Wandinha in the 90s films and who participates in the series in a new role, were present. Both actresses expressed excitement at the prospect of a second season. Ortega highlighted how rewarding it was to play such an iconic and complex character, while Ricci praised Tim Burton's unique approach to the series.
Tim Burton's series tells the story of Wednesday Addams, the morbidly intelligent daughter of the iconic Addams Family. “Wandinha” mixes dark humor, mystery and supernatural elements, creating an engaging narrative that pleased both longtime fans of the franchise and a new generation of viewers. The first season followed Wandinha as she adjusted to life at Nevermore Academy, a school for students with special abilities. With her sharp intelligence and a peculiar sense of justice, Wandinha becomes involved in investigating a series of mysteries and supernatural events that surround the school.
The end of the first season left many cliffhangers and questions open, setting the stage for a second season full of revelations and twists. Fans are speculating about the fate of the characters and the new challenges that Wandinha will face. The expectation is that the next season will explore the mysteries of Nevermore Academy more deeply and further develop the relationships between the characters.
Although Netflix has not provided a specific release date for the second season, there is speculation that it could debut in late 2023 or the first half of 2024. This break will allow the writers and producers to develop an even richer and more intriguing narrative, ensuring the series maintains its quality and continues to attract viewers.
Responding to previous rumors about a possible premiere of “Wandinha” on Prime Video, Netflix was emphatic: “Only on my website”. This statement reaffirms the platform's commitment to keeping the series as one of its exclusives, ensuring that all new episodes will only be available to Netflix subscribers.
The production of “Wandinha” also highlighted the significant contribution of Tim Burton, whose unique vision and distinctive style gave the series a distinct identity. Burton, known for his work on films such as “Edward Scissorhands” and “The Nightmare Before Christmas”, brought his gothic aesthetic and peculiarity to the series, which was fundamental to its success.
The cast of “Wandinha” also deserves recognition for their exceptional performances. In addition to Ortega and Ricci, the cast includes talented actors who bring the characters to life in memorable ways, contributing to the series' depth and appeal. The interactions between the characters, their backstories and internal conflicts were well explored, creating a series rich in narrative and emotion.
The renewal of “Wandinha” for a second season is exciting news for fans who are eager to see how Wednesday Addams' story will continue to unfold. With a solid fan base and significant critical support, the series is well positioned to continue its success and solidify its place as one of Netflix's flagship productions.
For followers of “Wandinha”, the wait for the next season will be full of speculation and expectation. In the meantime, fans can revisit the first season and continue discussing theories and predictions about what's to come. Netflix, for its part, will continue to provide updates and keep the public informed about production progress, keeping the excitement alive until the new episodes premiere.
