Netflix’s “Wednesday” season two will feature Trinity’s Business School and the GMB’s (Graduates Memorial Building’s) Phil Council room as set locations. The official teaser trailer sees Trinity’s Business School designed as a New Jersey airport. Filming at Trinity took place on May 21st 2024.
Season two was also filmed in the Kilternan Ski School and County Wicklow. Wednesday’s first season was shot in Romania and racked up 252.10 million views. The second season was shot in Ireland and wrapped up on November 27th 2024. The third season is also said to feature Ireland as a set location.
Wednesday is produced by MGM Television for Netflix. Anna Mallett, who oversaw the production said: “We’re so proud to now bring the cultural juggernaut that is Wednesday to Ireland, as the country’s biggest production it will create jobs and add millions of Euros to the Irish economy.”
Mallet continues: “Ireland has a thriving production sector, and Netflix has a keen interest in its long-term potential. In recent years we have invested substantially in productions made in Ireland such as The Siege of Jadotville, The Wonder, Bodkin, and Vikings: Valhalla. Netflix is planning to produce Marian Keyes’ Grown Ups and Lisa McGee’s How to Get to Heaven from Belfast series in Ireland too.”
Former Taoiseach Simon Harris visited the set’s production last year with former Minister for Culture Catherine Martin.
The series starring Jenna Ortega as the title character is due to hit Irish streaming on August 6th 2025. Tim Burton – director of Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Edward Scissorhands – directed four episodes of “Wednesday”. Lady Gaga – whose song “Bloody Mary” soundtracked a viral dance-sequence in season one – has been announced to guest-star in Wednesday’s second season.
Season two of Wednesday will introduce Steve Buscemi, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Billie Piper as new actors to the audience.
Wednesday is a spin-off show starring the daughter of the Addams family. The Addams family was created by cartoonist Charles Addams in 1937.
Jenna Ortega plays the title character Wednesday. Ortega’s performance won her a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Television Series or Comedy in 2023. The series also received the Golden Globe accolade for Best Television Series for a Musical or Comedy at the same awards ceremony.
According to Netflix’s data in 2022, “Wednesday” was the new record holder for the most hours viewed in a week for an English-language TV series on Netflix, beating the show “Stranger Things”. Netflix reported that 50 million households watched Wednesday within the first week of the TV show launching.
Correction: The version of this article featured in our print issue states that the series used the Phil Convo room for filming – in fact, it was the Phil Council room that was used for filming Wednesday.
