Netflix has officially announced that production for the second season of "Wansday" is now underway, with Jenna Ortega reprising her lead role. The highly anticipated new season is being directed by none other than Tim Burton, as revealed in a recent update on the platform's YouTube channel.

Set against the lush backdrop of Ireland, the filming of "Wansday" brings together a stellar ensemble cast. Joining Ortega are celebrated actors Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzman, Steve Buscemi, Thandie Newton, Billie Piper, and Christopher Lloyd. This diverse group promises to deliver dynamic performances that will likely add depth and intrigue to the series.

However, the new season will see a significant change in its lineup as Percy Hines White, who portrayed Xavier Thorpe, a friend of the main character, will not be returning. White was dismissed from the series following allegations of sexualized violence.

"Wansday" is a spin-off of the iconic "The Addams Family," and since its debut in November 2022, it has quickly risen to become one of Netflix's most popular shows. Despite the growing anticipation, the release date for the upcoming season remains under wraps, keeping fans eagerly waiting for more details.

This new season of "Wansday" not only continues the quirky and dark charm of its predecessor but also expands the universe with new characters and complex narratives. With Tim Burton at the helm, viewers can expect a visually stunning and uniquely stylized presentation that complements the enigmatic and gothic essence of the show.
