While Enniskerry is a popular spot for filming, with Disney's Disenchanted turning the village into a fairytale, the Powerscourt Estate has been used by multiple productions over the years.
For Wednesday, the waterfall and gardens are used, and you should be able to glimpse them in part one of the second season.

While the exterior and many of the classrooms and dorms of Nevermore Academy are sets built at the studio, there are some aspects of the school that are actually from Charleville Castle in County Offaly.
The castle was previously used in Becoming Jane and The Tudors, and in Wednesday, it serves as the corridors of Nevermore. Joanna Lumley as Grandmama in Wednesday Pic: Owen Behan/Netflix

As Wednesday premieres on Netflix, what does Jenna Ortega think of Ireland?
Jenna Ortega has opened up about filming Wednesday in Ireland — including her assessment of Guinness, the weather and the Irish accent. The star filmed season two of the Addams Family adaptation for Netflix around the country last year, with her saying that she stayed in Dublin for nearly a year. Now, with the release of the show earlier this week (on Wednesday, of course), Jenna has spoken about filming and staying in the capital, including her thoughts on the weather, our accents, and Guinness. @colbertlateshow Jenna Ortega recalls the craics of filming @wednesdaynetflix Season 2 in Ireland. #Colbert #JennaOrtega #Wednesday ♬ original sound – colbertlateshow 'I love it there,' Jenna told Stephen Colbert. 'I feel like if the weather wasn't so sh*tty, they'd probably get a ton of people coming,' she joked, before talking about her love for the Irish accent. 'I love the Irish accent. I think people are just being jerks when they say they can't understand what [Irish people] are saying. It's very clear,' with Stephen interjecting 'I don't even care what they're saying, it sounds like singing to me when they just talk.' Jenna even got to have the most Irish experience ever, saying 'I remember it was so weird when I went there I didn't even like Guinness or anything like that — I hate beer — and by the end [of filming], I was singing in a pub at two in the morning with a group of people I had never met before.' Jenna Ortega has opened up about filming Wednesday in Ireland — including her assessment of Guinness, the weather and the Irish accent. Pic: Netflix Stephen summed up Guinness pretty well, in fairness; joking to Jenna, it's like a loaf of bread in a cup' — with Jenna agreeing, saying 'that's what my friend says, she says it's like a sandwich in a glass.' The series filmed its second season in Ireland, and was camped up in Ashford studios for most of the shoot, with locations such as Powerscourt Falls in Enniskerry, Deansgrange Cemetery in Dublin and the Wicklow countryside set to play huge parts in the film. Jenna was also spotted a few times around the country during filming, which included her heading to Chappell Roan's gig in the 3Olympia theatre and cuddling up to some puppies in Wicklow. Jenna was spotted around the country during filming last month, which included her petting some puppies in Wicklow and enjoying Chappell Roan's concert in Dublin.

'We were so happy to have the wonderful Jenna and friends come and see the demonstration during their stay here in Ireland.' Wednesday season two is now available on Netflix.

Irish singer George Murphy reveals ‘cheeky' request that led to love with partner
George Murphy reveals how he met the love of his life The Dublin singer and songwriter also tells how he regards buying his own home as his biggest personal achievement. He talks about his plans to marry — and reveals the 'cheeky' request that led to love with his partner Fiona. As he starts rehearsals for an Irish tour, George says he's juggling the demands of a hectic showbiz career with parenthood. His home in Kilmore on Dublin's northside chimes with the sound of children. George and Fiona have two daughters together, Anna (2) and one-year-old Caít. George Murphy 'I also have a 12-year-old daughter, Lily, and Fiona has a 19-year-old son, Dillon, from previous relationships,' George says. 'There's a lot going on. The two-year-old and one-year-old are keeping us very, very busy on top of everything else. 'Mammy is back to work now as well, so it's just a lot. But we're trying to strike a balance, even though it's not always easy, especially with the tour dates. Read more 'But Fiona is amazing. We are engaged now and planning to get married — I'll be giving away my independence on Independence Day, the fourth of July next year. 'We have been together now for 10 years. We met at a gig… she came up and asked me for a photograph, and I cheekily said, 'I'll give you a photograph if you give me your number.' That's how it happened and that was 10 years ago now. 'Fiona is from Kilmore where we are living now. We're just around the corner from her family home. I come from Beaumont, so we're lucky that when days come that neither of us can be around we have a family support network and we are very grateful for that.' Although Fiona is not in the music industry, George says she helps out on the business side of his career. George with his daughter Lily 'She's brilliant at the admin side of things. She's helped me with online stuff and she's very good at sales, she's come out with me on the tour and sold merchandise and helped me with the promotional side of things.' Looking back on his first public performances on You're A Star, George, who struggled in the aftermath of the reality TV talent show, says: 'Everybody has a start and that was mine. I was only a baby at 17 back then. I'm not ashamed of it, or I don't shy away from talking about it at all. But it just feels distant history at this stage.' The folk and ballad singer signed to Sony Music, but got dropped after two albums. He went to America to try his luck and was building his reputation playing in the bars and clubs of New York with his band. When he came home to Ireland to renew his visa, George's then partner discovered that she was pregnant and they decided to stay here. 'That was a tough time in my life because I knew that I was very soon going to have a baby to mind and to raise,' George tells me. 'I was in me mam and me dad's box room because I didn't have any gigs at first and I didn't have anything coming up on the horizon. 'But a baby on the way was a motivational factor and a kick up the backside to dust myself down and kind of get stuck in and start taking myself seriously as a musician because that was the route of work I was going to go down. 'It has taken a bit of time but, thankfully, I've climbed my way back up the ladder and it has been more rewarding this time around than maybe it was first time around.' His band, George Murphy & The Rising Sons, who blend trad, folk and rock 'n' roll, are now in demand for live shows and have enjoyed critical acclaim for their debut album. George with The Dubliners One of the main measures of success for him today is the fact that he was able to purchase a family home. 'I've bought my own home and that's probably the proudest thing I've ever done,' George says. 'When I was in my mam and dad's box room and things were bleak I could never see that I was going to get to a position where I would have enough money to put a down payment on a house and have my own family home that I would raise my children in, especially with the price of houses in Dublin.' George now writes and releases original songs, one of which, Dublin Inspires, a tribute to his native city, has overtaken the success of his cover of Raglan Road. He adds: 'What was given to me first time around in You're A Star, as brilliant as it was and although I enjoyed it and have the memories, it was false in terms of the fact that my career was never going to have longevity or sustainability because it was built on something that is very fickle. 'I feel now after 20 years of digging in and getting stuck into it I've finally done the hard graft and the rewards this time around feel like I've earned them as opposed to them being given to me.'

Inside Dee Devlin's birthday bash with VERY pricey gift from Conor McGregor
Conor McGregor appeared to give his fiancée, Dee Devlin, a very expensive watch for her birthday. McGregor, who recently lost the appeal over the verdict of a civil rape case against him, shares four children with his fiancée, whom he proposed to in 2020. The couple headed to Milan to celebrate Devlin's birthday, with them heading to a fancy restaurant while McGregor — now sporting a mohawk of some description — shared pics from their night out, which included a trip to Bvlgari and having a Michelin-star meal. Dee Devlin and Conor McGregor. Pic: Conor McGregor/Instagram The post — which included a random meme of 'buying American' — saw the famous Irish sports star simply caption it 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEXY,' while another post saw them pose for the camera with him writing 'I PROMISE.' The photos showed McGregor and Devlin's meals throughout the fancy dinner, while Dee took in the sculptures at Bvlgari while McGregor posed with armed Italian guards. Also in the pictures at Bvlgari, Dee received a new watch as a birthday present: a rose gold Divas' Dream watch valued at over €35,000. Dee Devlin and Conor McGregor. Pic: Conor McGregor/Instagram Bvlgari's website describes the watch, which is 18k gold and with blue diamonds, as 'a sophisticated combination of joyful creativity and jewellery savoir-faire. The Divas' Dream watch in 18 kt rose gold and diamond-set bezel displays Bvlgari's mastery with enchanting colors, unexpected materials and traditional craftsmanship techniques. 'On the blue aventurine dial, depicting a starry night, the iconic fan-shaped motif – which is deeply rooted in Rome's cultural heritage – is hand-set with peacock feather inserts and pavé diamonds, in a refined marquetry composition.' McGregor shared a photo of the new timepiece to his Instagram story, captioning the pic 'real man devocean [sic]' while Show Me Love by Robin S played in the background. Dee Devlin's new watch. Pic: Instagram/Conor McGregor McGregor's birthday post for Dee comes as he started a petition in a last-ditch attempt to get on the ballot for the Presidency of Ireland. In order to be nominated for the Presidency ahead of the election later this year, one must be nominated by 20 members of the Oireachtas or four county councils. McGregor has had neither of those, but insists that he will be on the ballot via a petition to 'let the people decide.' Nearly 15,000 people have signed the petition — with it being suspected that the vast majority of signatures are not Irish — with McGregor saying of the existing system 'while intended to ensure a degree of political influence among candidates, inadvertently restricts the direct voice of the Irish electorate. 'In light of this, I propose a petition advocating for a modification of the nomination process to allow my name be included on the ballot. I contend that the citizens of Ireland, both at home and abroad, should have the unhindered right to determine the candidates who appear on the presidential ballot.' 'Therefore, I implore you to join me in this endeavor [sic] by signing this petition. Your support will be instrumental in championing a more inclusive and democratic electoral process, thereby empowering the people of Ireland to shape their own future.' A poll conducted by found that just 8% of people would vote for the disgraced MMA fighter, while another petition calling for McGregor to be banned from making a bid for the Áras was started to combat McGregor's fruitless attempt. That petition has nearly 2,000 signatures at the time of writing.
