‘Deliciously twisted,' ‘murderously enjoyable': ‘Wednesday' Season 2 reviews surpass Season 1 by double digits
Wednesday is back after a three-year hiatus, and critics say the ghoulish wait was well worth it. The second season, to be released in two parts on Aug. 6 and Sept. 3, has received mostly glowing reviews, even surpassing the first season's Rotten Tomatoes score by double digits. As of now, the first half of Season 2 stands at 86 percent, compared to just 73 percent for Season 1, which bowed on Nov. 23, 2022. According to critics, the new episodes are "deliciously twisted" and "murderously enjoyable." More from Gold Derby 'Hamilton' to screen in theaters next month for 10th anniversary TV Directors roundtable: 'Adolescence,' 'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,' 'The Pitt,' 'Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story' Emmy nominee Jenna Ortega returns in season 2 as Wednesday Addams, a goth girl with psychic powers, as she navigates fresh foes and a creepy mystery at Nevermore Academy. The Netflix show is created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, based on Charles Addams' iconic characters, and is produced and directed by Tim Burton. The sprawling cast includes Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, plus newbies like Steve Buscemi as Principal Barry Dort, Christopher Lloyd as Professor Orloff, Joanna Lumley as Grandmama Hester Frump, and Lady Gaga as Rosaline Rotwood. Vicky Jessop (London Evening Standard) raves, "Tim Burton's latest work is still deliciously twisted, and goes down like a spoonful of poisoned sugar. Something this addictive certainly isn't good for us, but we'll keep coming back for more." "A near three-year delay would have killed off a lesser show," begins Ed Power (Daily Telegraph UK), "but Wednesday's murderously enjoyable second season proves worth the wait." Aramide Tinubu (Variety) agrees with that sentiment, writing, "Full of zing and depth, the season remains just as thrilling as the first." While Liz Shannon Miller (Consequence) notes that the two-part release strategy "ends up curbing the show's momentum," Sarah Dempster (Guardian) proclaims that Ortega's Wednesday has enough charisma to "power a thousand hearses. Not that she'd appreciate our enthusiasm." But not everyone is equally amused. After all, what would a show set at a school be without its bullies? Nick Schager (The Daily Beast) harrumphs, "Oozing with plot and attitude but dreadfully short on inspiration, it continues to feel like a training-wheels Burton rehash that's only fit for viewers under the age of 13." And Josh Bel (Boston Globe) hisses, "Gough and Millar are still beholden to their serialized mystery plotting, so there are multiple threads about hooded killers, secret lairs, and surprise villain comebacks. It's even more tiresome the second time around." Season 2 delves deeper into the Addams family mythology, with Burton teasing, "We've grounded that element of the story so that we could identify real family issues that happen in real life." The new episodes also explore the mother-daughter dynamic between Wednesday and Morticia, and now Morticia's mother. Wednesday Season 1 received 12 Emmy nominations in 2023 and won four: Best Main Title Theme Music, Best Contemporary Costumes for a Series, Best Production Design for a Contemporary Program, and Best Contemporary Makeup (Non-Prosthetic). Season 2 will be eligible at the 2026 Emmys.

Steve Buscemi Reveals the 1 Item Tim Burton Gave Him 'From His Own Collection' That Inspired His 'Wednesday' Character (Exclusive)
Season 2 of the Netflix dark comedy is a reunion for Buscemi and Burton, who previously worked together on the 2003 film 'Big Fish'NEED TO KNOW Steve Buscemi reveals that director Tim Burton gave him one item "from his own collection" as inspiration for his new Wednesday character With Buscemi's character, Nevermore Academy principal Barry Dort, being based on Edgar Allan Poe, he tells PEOPLE exclusively that Burton gave him an action figure of the famed poet Wednesday season 2 is also a reunion for Buscemi and Burton, who previously worked together on the 2003 film Big FishWednesday. Steve Buscemi settled into his Wednesday character with a little help from director Tim Burton. Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE ahead of the release of the dark comedy's second season, Buscemi, 67, reveals that Burton, 66, gave him a special item "from his own collection" as a source of inspiration for Buscemi's new character: Nevermore Academy's new principal, Barry Dort. Buscemi reveals he and Burton had a "mutual" idea to base Dort on Edgar Allan Poe — the 19th-century poet whose poem The Raven famously includes the word "nevermore" repeated several times, and who is immortalized as a statue on the grounds of Nevermore Academy. "He also gave me an Edgar Allan Poe action figure, and I think it was from his own collection because it wasn't brand new," Buscemi says. "It was like, 'Oh my god, he gave me one of his possessions.'" is a reunion of sorts for Buscemi and Burton, who previously worked together more than 20 years ago. Buscemi, who appeared in Burton's 2003 film Big Fish, says he and the director "picked up where we left off." "It was really amazing. I just love the way he works, his process," he gushes. "I love that he counts on actors a lot to bring stuff, so that's always fun to work with a director that gives the actor a lot of responsibility." Buscemi says he was "nervous" to "enter this well-established world that people love so much," but he felt good about it with Burton at the helm. "It was exciting — a little bit intimidating, but mostly exciting," he admits. Buscemi says after he and Burton settled on Poe being the inspiration behind Dort, he was able to settle into the role, explaining, "Once we got the wig and the mustache, that was a great relief because it's like, 'Okay, I know who this guy is now.'" The actor also praises leading lady Jenna Ortega, who is back as Wednesday Addams herself. He calls the young actress — who is also an executive producer on the show — "fabulous" and "a lot of fun" while also being "the consummate professional" who "knows that character inside and out." As someone who grew up as a big fan of the original The Addams Family show in the '60s, Buscemi credits Burton and Ortega as having created a new iteration "that builds on the past and takes it in a new direction, but still has the core thing that we love about The Addams Family."

John Cena Talks SUPERMAN's Impact on PEACEMAKER Season 2 and His Loyalty to James Gunn — GeekTyrant
With James Gunn's Superman soaring high in both critical and box office circles, eyes are now on what that success means for the second season of Peacemaker . According to series star John Cena, the positive momentum is a good sign for the future of the DCU—and for the man behind the vision. When asked about his surprise Superman cameo, Cena didn't hesitate to credit Gunn for the easy decision to jump in. "The cameo came about because he asked me, and he could ask me to go to the ends of the Earth and if I could do it, then I'll do it. He's one of the people on a short list, which I admire and respect and really do as much as I can for them. He's changed my life completely, as I stand here in [the Peacemaker costume]." It's that deep respect for Gunn that makes Cena especially excited to see the audience rally behind Superman as the new DC Universe's foundation. "I think to have audiences around the world, embrace James' vision of Superman, which is James' vision for the DCU, is exciting for all of us. It shows that people are interested and they know that Superman is more than just a standalone movie. It's an installment in something larger and I think everyone is eager to see the next chapter." That next chapter is Peacemaker Season 2, which will keep its gritty, unfiltered tone but go even deeper into the DCU web Gunn is weaving. The new season finds Peacemaker facing a version of life he's always dreamed of, only to be forced into a reckoning with his past and an uncertain future. James Gunn returns to write all eight episodes and directs three, including the season opener. Cena is back in full gear, joined once again by Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, and Steve Agee, as the crew steps into a bigger narrative than ever before. This time, the story stretches far beyond Team Peacemaker. Frank Grillo enters the scene as Rick Flag Sr., connecting threads between Superman , Creature Commandos , and what lies ahead for the DCU. Fans can also look forward to crossover appearances from Superman characters like Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, and Sean Gunn as the shady Maxwell Lord. On top of all that, Peacemaker Season 2 will introduce a new face with Red St. Wild, played by Michael Rooker, another staple of Gunn's cinematic world. With Superman clearing the runway and Peacemaker set to take off again, it's looking like a wild, fun, and connected ride ahead for DC fans.
