‘Wednesday‘ is one of Netflix’s most successful shows that rocketed its way to the top as the No. 1 show in 83 countries and the second most-watched English-language show in the history of Netflix. Capitalizing on this unprecedented success, Netflix has already renewed the series for season 2.
However, that is not all that awaits ‘Wednesday‘ fans. While the show revolved around Wednesday’s character played by Jenna Ortega, the series is set to come off with a spin-off with another one of the show’s popular characters at the center.

Who Will The ‘Wednesday’ Spin-Off Feature?
The world of the Addams family is not short of eccentric characters — be it anyone from the family, or their friends, relatives, and neighbors. But the other character that won a spin-off for himself is her paternal uncle, Uncle Fester, played by Fred Armisen in the first season of Tim Burton’s Netflix series.
The announcement has made fans curious about what twists and narratives the show-makers might add to the spin-off.
The debut season of ‘Wednesday’ is a Netflix adaptation of The Addams Family franchise. It premiered in November 2022. The show explored several narratives with Wednesday’s character at the center, as she navigated through a new school.

It gracefully added some other elements to Wednesday’s rather spooky life, including a love triangle, and a murder mystery that the character goes on to investigate.
Ortega’s portrayal of Wednesday earned widespread acclaim, earning her nominations for the 2023 Golden Globe Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, Critics’ Choice Super Awards, and MTV Movie & TV Awards among others.
Ortega also made history with an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, as she became the second-youngest woman ever nominated in the category.
With so much success in its lap, the show is now all set for a season two as well as a spin-off of Uncle Fester’s story. The producer of the show and owner of character rights, Amazon MGM Studios, has already given a green signal to expand the Addams family’s live-action universe, as reported by Bloomberg.
The fans now await two exciting Addams Family ventures to grace their screens.
