Will Wednesday Arrive Soon? Popular Series Rumoured to Be Filmed in Hungary

Wednesday, which is currently one of Netflix’s most popular series, has been making sounds about filming some of its second season in Hungary, moving production from their original Romanian locations. Though nothing is confirmed, the move would not be surprising, as the series’ immense popularity indicates that it may be around for multiple seasons, and many long-running series have found a home with the expert production offered in and around Budapest, including Tom Clancey’s Jack Ryan and FBI: International.
And, while the entire first season of Wednesday was filmed outside Hungary, there were still many Hungarian connections to the work, as reported by local source Daily News Hungary. For starters, while the main character, Wednesday, herself is played by American actor Jenna Ortega, her younger primary school-age self is played by Hungarian moppet Karina Váradi. And, moreover, the same outfit that helped score the pandemic smash Squid Game — Budapest Scoring — was also tasked specifically by Wednesday director Tim Burton with the music for the series.
Professional reasons aside, Wednesday — a dark spinoff from Charles Addams-inspired TV show The Addams Family, and the film of the same name which starred Christina Ricci as Wednesday — just seems to fit Hungary. With its gothic themes, it would be at home with projects that have already taken advantage of Budapest and Hungary’s naturally atmospheric locations, from the reboot of The Munsters to cult-classic vampire film Underworld.
So, time will tell if Wednesday indeed arrives in Hungary for season two and beyond. Until then, creep out to the trailer.
