The second season has just entered its second round, and there are updates about a “Wednesday” spin-off. One of the stars has now provided a small but important update.
“Wednesday” Spin-off Still Planned
For Netflix, “Wednesday” has been a real megahit so far. Although the second part of the second season lost viewers, it should recover soon. Especially since the first round is the most-watched English-language series of all time for the streaming service. What’s next?
Fans can already look forward to a third season featuring the macabre title character. But that’s not all. As early as 2023, news circulated that a “Wednesday” spin-off was planned. Since then, however, there has been suspicious silence around the project. But now, according to a report from “Deadline,” there has finally been a sign of life. The project is still in the works.
“Wednesday” Spin-off Focuses on Uncle Fester
The update comes from actor Fred Armisen himself. He plays the popular Uncle Fester in “Wednesday,” brother to Gomez Addams (Luis Guzman), and can generate electricity. According to his statements, Netflix is still working on a “Wednesday” spin-off about Uncle Fester.
Armisen couldn’t and wouldn’t reveal much. Just this: “It’s fantastic… just great,” he reportedly said on Jimmy Fallon’s talk show. It’s a lot of fun and feels very organic to work on.
Above all, he loves playing this character, which has existed for a long time. “Wednesday” and soon the spin-off are offshoots of the “Addams Family,” which has existed in various media since the 1930s. However, it’s still too early for more details like the rest of the cast and a release date. The exact plot of the spin-off also remains a secret.
