Wednesday: Upheaval in the rights of the series and where the 2nd season will play
Confirmation and clarification has arrived in the case of Netflix vs Amazon
Netflix or Amazon? A hot question has been raised in recent days about the future of the series Wednesday and which streaming service will air its 2nd season .
The spinoff series of The Addams Family starring Jenna Ortega is the 2nd most successful – behind Stranger Things 4 – Netflix series for this year and clearly he would not want to lose it from his catalog, given how viral the series has become on the internet and social media – especially TikTok.
The report of The Independent a few days ago said that the possibility of Wednesday moving to Amazon Prime Video is open . Now the new publication of the -much more authoritative- Indiewire comes to deny everything saying that this possibility does not exist… at all.
That’s because MGM ‘s Wednesday concession deal to Netflix was locked in place long before Amazon bought MGM, according to sources cited by IndieWire with knowledge of the matter. In short, the 2nd season of Wednesday will play normally on Netflix , as it was initially thought, despite the fact that the streaming giant has not yet given the green light for its renewal. All this, of course, until there is some newer development.
The show’s production, for its part, is already looking for people to staff the writing team for season 2 and is currently looking for new filming locations.
