The streaming network Netflix has announced that it intends to launch a spin-off of the Wednesday series. Acclaimed by critics and audiences, the series is a success and already has a second season in production. The information was published by Bloomberg, and according to the outlet, the series will portray Uncle Fester.
Played by Fred Armisen, Uncle Fester appeared during the first season of Wednesday, and was part of the comedic core. There are still no concrete confirmations that production will take place. Some issues such as aligning schedules, negotiating contracts with talent, and screenwriters need to be stipulated.
Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday has surpassed Stranger Things’ record as the most-watched English-language series in a week. The second season does not yet have an expected premiere date. Netflix has not commented on insiders’ rumors about the spin-off.
