Jenna Ortega Is Getting Two New ‘Wednesday' Action Figures

Netflix
Jenna Ortega is being shrunk into two different Wednesday Addams action figures heading into Netflix's Wednesday Season 2.
Ortega's career, of course, shot into the stratosphere with her role as the iconic Addams Family teen with the release of the first season of Wednesday in 2022. Since then, Wednesday — created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar and executive produced and directed by Tim Burton — has gone on to become the most-streamed series in Netflix's history with 252.1 million views, which equates to nearly 1.719 billion hours viewed.
Now, ahead of the scheduled debut on Wednesday Season 2 in August, toy and collectibles company NECA is releasing new action figures from the series.
In a post on the company's Facebook page over the weekend, NECA pictured three 8-inch scale retro-style action figures with cloth outfits from Wednesday. Two of the figures are of Ortega's Wednesday Addams while the third is of Wednesday's roommate Enid Sinclair (Emma Meyers).
One of the figures features Wednesday wearing her trademark black-and-white polka-dot dress with the disembodied hand, Thing, on her shoulder, while the other figure is of Wednesday wearing her Nevermore Academy uniform. The Enid figure also features the character wearing her Nevermore uniform.
Since NECA tends to include character accessories with its action figure releases, more will surely be revealed when the figures go on sale on NECA's retail site on Wednesday (naturally). The release date of the new action figures has not yet been announced.
NECA previously released a cartoonish Toony Terrors figure of her character, Astrid, along with her mother, Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder) as part of the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice line, which also featured figures of Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) and Dante's Inferno playset from the first Beetlejuice movie.
Other Wednesday dolls and action figures have previously been released by such toys and collectibles companies as Mattel and Mezco.
Right now, the NECA Wednesday action figures of Wednesday Addams and Enid Sinclair are only partially pictured in NECA's Facebook post, which you can see below.
The upcoming second season of Wednesday wrapped up Netflix TUDUM 2025 on Saturday, which highlighted several of the streaming platforms upcoming original films and TV series, including director Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, Rian Johnson's Wake Up, Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery and Stranger Things Season 5.
Jenna Ortega was on hand with some of the Wednesday Season 2 castmates to help introduce the first six minutes of Episode 1 the upcoming season, which is titled, Here We Woe Again.
In the opening, Wednesday recounts her summer break before returning to Nevermore Academy, which included a harrowing encounter with a creepy serial killer named Chet (Haley Joel Osment). The scene also included the previously released footage of Wednesday relinquishing a batch of twisted tools at an airport security checkpoint.
In addition to the scene, Netflix officially revealed Lady Gaga's character as Rosaline Rotwood, a former Nevermore teacher whom Wednesday encounters.
Netflix TUDUM 2025 wrapped up with an elaborately staged trio of songs by Lady Gaga that included "Zombieboy," "Bloody Mary" and "Abracadabra.'
Wednesday Season 2 will be released in two parts that consist of four episodes each. Wednesday Season 1, Part 1 will premiere on Wednesday, Aug. 6, and Part 2 arrives on Wednesday, Sept. 3.

Meghan Markle Shares a Never-Before-Seen Birth Photo to Celebrate Lilibet's Fourth Birthday
Since she rejoined Instagram at the very start of this year, Meghan Markle (apologies, Sussex) has given her followers a rare and privileged glimpse into her closely guarded private life. Here she is running barefoot on the beach; paying tribute to her dearly departed beagle, Guy; at lunch with her husband, Prince Harry; baking cookies with her kids; and shimmying to 'Summer Renaissance' at a Beyoncé show. But now comes perhaps the most intimate insight of all: two family photos shared to mark her daughter Princess Lilibet's fourth birthday. Instagram content This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. The first shows the young royal in her mother's arms, their hair blowing in the wind as they lie back on a boat, but the second is even more remarkable—a candid throwback shot of Lilibet as a newborn being cradled by Meghan. 'Happy birthday to our beautiful girl!' the duchess wrote in the caption. 'Four years ago today she came into our lives—and each day is brighter and better because of it. Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day!' Meghan sharing a birthday photo of her children is, of course, nothing new—just last month, she posted a similar tribute to Prince Archie on his sixth birthday, which showed her son looking out onto a golden sunset. But the birth photo feels even more personal and is, perhaps, an indication of the duchess's willingness to open up just that little bit more to her fans. In the run-up to the second season of her Netflix hit, With Love, Meghan, due to drop this fall, here's hoping for even more casual snapshots, at-home cooking videos and previously unseen baby pictures—and maybe even a brief cameo from the two kids in the series itself.

What time is Ginny and Georgia season 3 released in the UK on Netflix?
It's been more than two years since we last saw the chaotic and loveable mother daughter duo series Ginny and Georgia on our screens. We were left on that cliffhanger of Georgia being arrested for the murder of Cynthia's husband Tom, and it's safe to say we've spent a lot of the last two years worrying about Georgia's fate. What can we say? We care deeply about fictional characters ok. Thankfully the wait is now finally over, as season three of Ginny and Georgia will be landing on Netflix this week. As we saw from the trailer we know this season will cover Georgia's legal struggle as she tries to prove her innocence and takes part in her murder trial. The season is also expected to cover Ginny struggling with the attention she's getting at school because of her mum and we also see from the trailer Ginny fighting with her dad Zion, and friction between Georgia and new husband Paul. Ugh, we cannot wait 😍. But when and what time does the show arrive for season three on Netflix? Well here's all the important details you need to know, because let's be real, we're not doing anything once the show airs.

It makes a change from the show's usual winter release date, with season two being released in January 2023 and the first season back in February 2021.

Netflix's intense action-thriller series is back — and now is the perfect time to binge-watch
If you're on the hunt for something new to binge-watch, you're in luck as Netflix has the perfect option. The high-octane series 'Criminal Code' just returned for another season of meticulously planned heists, frenetic shoot-outs and high-stakes police investigations. The Brazilian show debuted in 2023, and while it perhaps wasn't a juggernaut series that dominated the social media space, it did manage to stake a claim in the streaming service's top 10 and was met with enthusiasm by viewers. This week (June 4), it's back for season 2, making now the perfect time to dive into 'Criminal Code' for new and returning viewers. Newcomers have got 16 episodes to binge, which should keep you busy through the rest of the week, but if you missed the action-thriller series the first time, I'm here to give you the full lowdown. Plus, for those already familiar with 'Criminal Code', I've also got all the details on season 2. Here's why 'Criminal Code' is a great choice if you're looking for your next Netflix action fix right now. 'Criminal Code' opens with a shoot-out between cops and a group of criminals, and the stakes are immediately raised as we're introduced to Benício (Rômulo Braga), a federal officer in the Brazilian police force with a personal drive to capture these thieves as one of them killed his partner. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Benício believes he works better alone and has a habit of going rogue in pursuit of justice, but the no-nonsense cop is forced to team up with a new partner, Suellen (Maseve Jinkings), and must learn to play well with others. Following an armed robbery in Paraguay, Benício is convinced the man he's obsessed with finding is involved. Working the case with help from Suellen, the lawman is willing to resort to off-the-book methods if necessary to track down the criminal conspirators and ensure they are put behind bars. Adding extra drama, 'Criminal Code' is inspired by real crimes, which gives the show an element of realism, even if it takes dramatic liberties with the truth. 'Criminal Code' certainly isn't looking to reinvent the police drama formula. It follows a predictable structure of a police partnership working a case, sometimes crossing over moral lines in the process. It's certainly not a unique series breaking the mold. However, what 'Criminal Codes' does best is keep you engaged as you're always just a few scenes away from a new clue, or a fast-paced firefight, or a high-speed car chase. There's never a lull or time to get bored of its generic genre tropes — a thrilling action sequence is always just around the next corner. This makes it an ideal binge-watch; you don't need to sit with the series after each episode, you can instead rapidly tear through its chapters, getting swept up in the investigation, and slowly finding yourself starting to care about its cast of characters. So, while there's undoubtedly a feeling that you've seen all this before, it does enough to keep you watching. So long as you approach the series with the right expectations, it's likely that you'll find yourself hooked relatively quickly. Especially as Benício's quest to avenge the death of his partner is a strong driving force, and his interplay with Suellen leads to strong character moments. The latter is a new mother, which adds just the right splash of family drama. As noted, the series is loosely inspired by a real-life heist and the ensuing investigation, which saw criminals rob the headquarters of a private security force and escape with millions of dollars in cash. This crime took place in 2017 in Paraguay and marked the first time Brazilian forces used primarily DNA evidence to assist in capturing the parties involved. As noted, "Criminal Code" managed to secure a top 10 spot in more than 70 countries (including the U.S.), and over on Rotten Tomatoes, the show has a strong 95% score from viewers. On IMDb, the final two episodes of season 1 are the highest rated, which suggests the show's pay-off is worth the build-up. Of course, if you binged 'Criminal Code' when it first dropped in 2023, or over the two years since then, then you'll already have known all of the above, so let's talk season 2, which just dropped on Netflix today (June 4). Naturally, you'll find 'Criminal Code' season 1 spoilers below… The show's season 2 is once again comprised of eight hour-long episodes and sees the return of Sullen and Benício, but this time they're in very different places. And their previous partnership appears to be dissolved as both face new challenges and personal struggles. The show's official longline reads: 'After helping the Ambassador (Nico García Hume) escape from prison, Isaac (Alex Nader) and his Phantom Gang become the Federal Police's main targets. Increasingly sophisticated robberies turn them into crime legends — and going after them will demand everything from the agents. 'During the challenging investigation, Suellen (Maeve Jinkings) will have to prove herself as a leader. Meanwhile, Benício (Rômulo Braga) experiences a crisis after losing yet another friend, and discovering that Sem Alma (Thomás Aquino) escaped from prison.' I'm perhaps a little disappointed that Benício's character arc seems to be repeating from season 1, with his obsessive hunt for Sem Alma being his main motivation, but I'm intrigued to see how Suellen fairs as she steps into a leadership role. That's enough of a draw for me to stream it this week. 'Criminal Code' looks on pace to once again enter the Netflix conversation, and I'm sure pre-existing fans of the show don't need my encouragement to start streaming these new episodes. The show, while relatively formulaic, is compelling and, best of all, very bingeable. So now is the time to dive in.
