Wednesday Spinoff In Talks At Netflix — But For Which Character? (Report)

While Netflix's smash hit Wednesday may not be dancing to screens any time soon, the streamer is reportedly kicking around ideas for a potential spinoff.

Before production started for Wednesday's second season, Netflix began discussions for a spinoff based around Fred Armisen's Uncle Fester, reports Bloomberg. While a potential new series is not set in stone — writers will have to outline the story, and contracts and scheduling with talent will need to be negotiated — the streaming giant hopes to eventually expand on Wednesday's momentum by turning its Addams Family success into a franchise.

TVLine has reached out to Netflix for comment.

Wednesday scared up huge numbers with its freshman season. According to the streaming giant's recently released "What We Watched" report for the first half of 2023, Season 1 racked up 508 million hours viewed globally, trailing only The Night Agent, Ginny & Georgia Season 1 and the South Korean thriller 더 글로리 (The Glory), and besting the likes of the Bridgerton prequel Queen Charlotte and YOU Season 4.
