Where was Wednesday filmed? Season 2 of Netflix show's filming locations revealed
Wednesday, one of Netflix 's most successful shows to date, has made a triumphant return today with the first part of its second season. The show's stunning visuals and breathtaking sets have already sparked curiosity among fans about where the second season was filmed - a location completely different from the first season.
The inaugural season of the supernatural series, starring Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, was fittingly shot in Romania, famously known as Dracula's homeland. However, due to various reported 'logistical challenges' during filming, Wednesday has since relocated.
Tim Burton's gothic series, featuring stars such as Catherine Zeta-Jones and Fred Armisen, has returned for a second season in a drastically different setting, reports the Express.
Where was Wednesday season 2 filmed?
For the second season of the Netflix series, showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar reportedly chose Ireland, an obvious choice given its gothic castles and dark forests.
While Cantacuzino Castle in Romania served as the famous Nevermore Academy in the first season, the production turned to Charleville Castle in County Offaly, central Ireland, for its new location.
Dublin locals might also recognise Willow Hill Psychiatric Facility, where Tyler Galpin (played by Hunter Doohan) is being held, as it was filmed at Clonliffe College.
Furthermore, Dublin's Trinity College was also cleverly transformed to resemble Newark Airport in the opening episode of season 2, whilst Wednesday's encounter with sinister serial killer the Kansas City Scalper (Haley Joel Osment) at his residence was filmed at a housing development in the County Wicklow town of Newcastle.
County Wicklow's Ashford Studios also supplied numerous interior scenes for the programme, including Nevermore Academy's Founders Pyre and the internal shots of Willow Hill and Rotwood Cottage.
Furthermore, Camp Jericho and Nevermore Cemetery were constructed at a stunning 18th century estate renowned for its gardens called Powerscourt House.
The 2017 film Little Women and other acclaimed productions such as Laurence Olivier's Henry V and Excalibur have similarly been filmed on the estate's grounds.

Product Description
What has Ireland said about the Netflix show?
Screen Ireland had previously declared that Wednesday's production would be the "largest production to ever film in Ireland".
Acknowledging this cinematic achievement, Taoiseach Simon Harris marked the occasion by visiting the set.
There, he held discussions with the programme's creators, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, alongside series director Tim Burton.
The politician remarked: "I'm delighted to see Ireland continues to be chosen as a location to film series and movies which supports our economy, creates jobs, showcases our creative talents and promotes our country on a global stage.
"Ireland has long been a home for MGM Television productions from the original Vikings in 2012, to Vikings: Valhalla, and now Wednesday," Lindsay Sloane, Head of MGM Television, added.
"We have found resources in Ireland to be top notch and an incredibly skilled group of professionals and apprentices that help bring our productions to life."
Wednesday season 2 part 1 is currently available for viewing on Netflix.

Wednesday – Season 2 Episode 2 'The Devil You Woe' Recap & Review
The Devil You Woe Episode 2 of Wednesday Season 2 starts with Wednesday gaining consciousness. Morticia is disappointed because Wednesday kept the black tears a secret. She tells Wednesday that it is a sign that she is abusing her powers. Wednesday is disappointed that Thing told Morticia about Goody's book. Morticia asks Wednesday to be patient and wait for a new guide. Sadly, Wednesday refuses, saying she has no time to waste, especially after her last vision. Morticia insists that her ability is not a weapon but a gift, but Wednesday refuses to listen. On her way back to school, Wednesday drops by Galpin's house. Surprisingly, she finds him dead, another victim of the crows. She tries to find some evidence before the police arrive, but fails. Her psychic abilities also fail her. The police, led by Sheriff Santiago, arrive and arrest Wednesday. Santiago brings Wednesday to the station and tries to question her. She is curious about Galpin's missing phone. Wednesday says nothing; she believes Tyler might have killed his dad. The sheriff insists that Tyler is still locked away. Gomez shows up as Wednesday's lawyer and bails her out. On the drive back, Gomez seeks some answers from Wednesday. Wednesday is disappointed to hear that her parents will be staying. She thinks her mom is worried she will end up like Ophelia. However, Gomez refuses to shed light on what happened to Morticia's sister. The following day, Eugene learns that Pugsley brought back to life the boy from the legend. Pugsley is keeping the monster in Eugene's bee shed for the time being. They decide to call the monster Slurp. As for Wednesday, she tries to find answers in Goody's book. She asks Thing to keep the loss of her abilities and Enid's impending doom a secret. Upon arriving at the dorm, Wednesday finds Enid lying in a pool of blood with her throat slashed. It turns out to be a prank since it is officially prank day. Enid thinks Wednesday left an eyeball on her pillow. However, Wednesday didn't. It is most likely another gift from the stalker. As they talk, the stalker sends a message to Enid. They call the number back and get Galpin's voicemail. Enid is shocked that Wednesday is already caught in another murder mystery. Wednesday suggests that it might be better for Enid to stay in the room while she figures things out. She tries to get a psychic read from the eyeball, but nothing! In the meantime, Ajax watches Enid getting cosy with Bruno. Pugsley and Eugene help him get revenge on Bruno. The other students continue to enjoy their prank day without a care in the world. Wednesday approaches Dort and a fellow teacher to ask about outcasts who can control birds. The teacher says that such outcasts are called Avian, but they have not had one in Nevermore for years. Bianca meets with Morticia as the gala fundraising student liaison. The two talk about Wednesday, and the conversation turns to their complicated relationships with their moms. Bianca suggests that Morticia could reach out to her mom and ask for a donation. However, Morticia refuses to call her mom. Back at school, Slurp breaks free and escapes. Wednesday steals Enid's driver's ed consent form. She uses the opportunity to get a ride to Willow Hill. Morticia drops by the dorm and scolds Thing for keeping them in the dark. Thing counters by saying they treat him like a servant. Morticia apologises and takes Goody's book. As for Wednesday, she traumatises the driving school teacher as she drives to Willow Hill. At Willow Hill, she meets with Dr Fairburn, Tyler's psychiatrist. Fairburn knew Wednesday would visit sooner or later. She has been unable to make a breakthrough with Tyler, and Thornhill has been unforthcoming. Thornhill is in a different facility, and Fairburn needs Wednesday's help. The meeting with Tyler goes as imagined. He thinks Wednesday sensed his darkness and fell for it. According to Tyler, Wednesday got lucky, but not because she is smart. Wednesday breaks the news of Galpin's death, but Tyler refuses to help. Instead, he threatens to kill Enid when he gets free. This provokes Wednesday, and she belittles him. In turn, Tyler loses his cool and nearly turns into his monster self. At school, Eugene informs Pugsley of Slurp's escape. Enid finds a package for Thing. She is saddened when she realises the Addams family forgot Thing's birthday. As she comforts him, someone locks Thing in his little house and kidnaps Enid and Bruno. Meanwhile, Dort orders Bianca to use her siren powers on Morticia to get her to ask her mother for a donation. It turns out Bianca can't use her gifts on Dort, thanks to a relic he carries with him. In the evening, Wednesday gets to the dorm to find Thing locked in and Enid gone. The stalker calls Wednesday and gives her thirty minutes to find Enid and Bruno alive. Outside her door, Wednesday finds a clue. On her way to save Enid, Wednesday runs into Capri. Capri invites Wednesday to join her orchestra for the gala. Wednesday turns down the offer, but Capri insists. The conversation gives Wednesday a clue on how to find Enid. She heads to the music room and plays the note on the clue card. A random mystery door opens up, and Wednesday and Thing walk through it. Someone else is following them, but they can't see who it is. The passage leads to the closed Iago Tower, where Enid and Bruno are chained up. While waiting to be saved, Enid and Bruno try to free themselves before a set of knives falls on their heads. Enid knows they are in this situation because of Wednesday, but she doesn't blame her. Finally, Wednesday arrives and figures out the answer to the clue. She barely manages to save Enid and Bruno. The stalker reveals herself to be another fan of Wednesday. Thanks to her invisibility abilities, she has been able to pull such a scheme to get Wednesday's attention. Enid is unimpressed by Agnes's antics though. Elsewhere, Bianca visits Morticia and uses her powers to convince the latter to call her mom. Later, Wednesday apologises to Thing for forgetting his birthday and gives him a gift. She is pissed to learn her mom took the Goody book. Outside the window, a crow keeps tabs on Wednesday. The episode ends with Slurp attacking the driving school teacher and killing him. The Episode Review This episode gives us a hint at the similarities between Wednesday and her Aunt Ophelia. Morticia never talks much about her sister, but she worries her daughter might suffer the same fate. Simultaneously, we see Wednesday get some closure on the Tyler issue. Their confrontation was necessary. Galpin's death gave Wednesday the perfect reason to see Tyler too. Based on the teaser, we know Tyler's story is not over and we still have a lot of questions. This latest mystery only adds to the fire. What is happening at Willow Hill? Is it possible that the avian is one of the Willow Hill victims? As for the stalker mystery, this episode gives us answers. It turns out it was just a young fan trying to get Wednesday's attention. For what it is worth, Wednesday looked mildly impressed by Agnes's. Given Agnes' abilities, it would serve Wednesday to keep her close. Once again, our suspicion of Dort's motives grows. Why is he intent on getting Morticia's mom to donate to the school? Is he only trying to save Nevermore? Meanwhile, Pugsley is raising another monster, and things are taking a dark turn quicker than anticipated. Previous Episode Next Episode

Best new mobile games on iOS and Android – August 2025 round-up
A mobile version of Subnautica, a Zack Snyder movie tie-in, and the return of Angry Birds are amongst this month's most interesting mobile games. Like Google before it, Netflix's foray into video games doesn't appear to be going to plan. Despite concentrating on mobile – a more accessible sector with a faster turnaround than PC or console titles – the recent deletion of 20 games from its roster, including crown jewels like Hades and Monument Valley 3, isn't a great sign. There's a move afoot to concentrate on Netflix IP, as typified by this month's Blood Line: A Rebel Moon Game, which while perfectly competent is a little uninspiring. Netflix subscribers will still find all-time classics like Into The Breach are available, but it may be wise to make the most of them while you can. iOS & Android, £8.99 (Playdigious) Released for PC in 2018, Subnautica finally makes its way to mobile with this excellent port. Once again your spaceship suffers a rapid unscheduled disassembly over watery planet 4546B, leaving you with just an escape capsule bobbing on the waves, which when you begin the game, is on fire. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. To survive on your own, in an alien ocean, you need to harvest crafting materials to make useful props, like The Swiss Family Robinson but with a fabricator. Starting with longer lasting oxygen tanks and flippers for speedier underwater swimming, you're soon building submarines and entire undersea bases. Touch controls are rarely ideal, but the slow-moving undersea environment doesn't demand twitch reactions, although you will still need to make the odd swift getaway from large aquatic predators. The lovely undersea environments, gradual exploration, and drip feed of new construction blueprints remains hugely compelling. Score: 8/10 iOS & Android, included with Netflix subscription (Netflix) Based on the instantly forgettable Zack Snyder films, Blood Line uses Rebel Moon's lore and universe, which means the plot is complex but turgid, its poker-faced dialogue delivered by still drawings of generic, bearded sci-fi bodybuilders. Behind the characterless facade you'll find a twin stick shooter, whose missions – steal fuel supplies, destroy signal jammers, acquire holographic MacGuffin – boil down to shooting some people and robots, activating switches, then defending an area from more people and robots, before being extracted back to the bearded muscleman mothership. It looks fine, you can play co-op with randos online, and its guns look and feel powerful, with a variety of different characters and skills to experiment with. The action is pretty mindless but also moderately entertaining, provided you skip through the plot exposition at high enough speed. Score: 6/10 iOS & Android, £4.99 (Headup Games) Physics-based bridge building games work really well on a touchscreen, especially on the slightly roomier screen of an iPad, and Bridge Constructor Studio is no exception, its interface proving straightforward and intuitive. Start by sizing up the gap you need to cross, available anchor points, and the vehicles you'll need to get to the other side, then make a bridge using as few materials as possible to bring it in under budget, earning a golden screw for each level successfully completed. In fellow bridge maker, Poly Bridge 3, you could view the winning constructions of players on its leaderboard, which was a nice twist, but even without that Bridge Constructor Studio is a polished puzzle game with near endless scope for tinkering, as you try and complete each challenge with fewer and cheaper materials. Score: 8/10 iOS & Android, free (Pusilung) Borrowing the core gameplay of last year's free-to-play Nightfall: Kingdom Frontier TD, Shadow Kingdom may not look quite as refined, but it's no mere rip-off. Underneath the mild plagiarism and less cartoony art style is a much more balanced and interesting game. Centred around a controllable hero defender, you use the winnings from each wave's dispatched enemies to build resource generators, defensive towers, and barracks to train ground troops. Each level's geography, tower availability, and the constituency of its waves of enemies makes it a singular puzzle to unpick. Watching the occasional ad does help the war effort, and there are deliberate pay walls that take a bit of grinding to get through, but Shadow Frontier still manages to deliver a decent sense of progress and thought-provoking challenges, that often take a few attempts to figure out. Score: 7/10 iOS, included with Apple Arcade Subscription (Apple) One of the founding pillars of the mobile video game ecosystem, Angry Birds has been around seemingly forever. Its latest instalment, Bounce, returns to sling-shotting ball-shaped birds, but this time rather than knocking down buildings, you're trying to eliminate tiles by catapulting and rebounding birds into them. Once again, different birds come with their own destructive properties, so choosing the right ammo for each level really helps you get through it, and since this is Apple Arcade, all hint of microtransaction has been expunged, leaving you to enjoy as much of it as you like. As is traditional for the franchise, it's actually pretty tough once you get going, its cartoon-style good looks belying serious difficulty, even if it never quite manages to match the charm of the Puzzle Bobble games, which relied on a similar mechanic. Score: 6/10 iOS & Android, free (IGG Singapore) More Trending A blatant and terrible looking AI introductory sequence, with poorly translated dialogue, helps set the scene for a game that plays exactly like Kingshot and its ilk. That means you'll be refurbishing a cute village, bulking up its army and defences, and joining a clan. After those gentle introductory hours, you're then unleashed into the wider world, where you'll instantly fall prey to players who've spent more money than you and will repeatedly and ruthlessly demolish your settlement. Given just how many games are built around these mechanics, it suggests there's a market for its brand of skill-free pay-to-win warmongering. And yet it's baffling that a game that only rewards you for waiting and paying would be worth making in the first place, especially when it's dressed up in dismal generative AI art assets.

Barbie icon Margot Robbie is in talks to star in Tim Burton's Attack Of The Fifty Foot Woman remake
Margot Robbie is in talks to star in Tim Burton 's Attack Of The Fifty Foot Woman remake. The 35-year-old actress is being considered for the lead role in the 66-year-old filmmaker's upcoming movie for Warner Bros and she would also produce the film through her LuckyChap production company, according to The Insneider. The original 1958 classic is a science-fiction horror story which follows a wealthy heiress who grows into a giant after an alien encounter and goes on to take revenge on her cheating husband. It was revealed last year that Burton would direct and produce the remake, with Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn writing the script. Andrew Mittman and Tommy Harper are also producing with Kai Dolbashian as executive producer. However, Variety reports that Flynn exited the project due to other commitment after writing a first draft of the screenplay and the producing team is currently searching for a new writer. Margot's involvement would depend on the final version of the script. Meanwhile, Margot is set to produce the Ocean's prequel through her LuckyChap Entertainment banner and will also star in the movie alongside her Barbie cast mate Ryan Gosling. While story details are unknown, it was reported the Ocean's prequel would be set in 1960's Europe and would feature Robbie and Gosling as the parents of Danny (George Clooney) and Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock). Austin Powers filmmaker Jay Roach had initially been attached to direct the movie, but Twisters director Lee Isaac Chung is now helming the project. The first Ocean's 11 was released in 1960, and starred five members of the Rat Pack - Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop - as they tried to pull off the ultimate heist in Las Vegas. In 2001, the franchise was rebooted by director Steven Soderbergh, and starred George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Matt Damon and Brad Pitt. Ocean's Eleven follows the charismatic thief Danny Ocean (Clooney) as he assembles a team of specialists to pull off an audacious heist: robbing three of Las Vegas's biggest casinos in a single night. As the elaborate plan unfolds, slick deception and personal stakes collide in a stylish game of risk and reward. The film was followed by the sequels Ocean's Twelve in 2004 and Ocean's Thirteen in 2007. Then in 2018, the series was continued with the all-female Ocean's 8, which starred Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna and Helena Bonham Carter. The news comes days after Margot spent the day drinking shots at Wayne Lineker's iconic O Beach club in Ibiza. The self-confessed lover of partying - who previously professed her love for cheesy Clapham nightclub Infernos - jetted off to Ibiza last week. Margot was spotted at the club by its co-owner Tony Truman's daughter Kiki, who he shares with EastEnders star Charlie Brooks. Tony said the star ended up drinking shots with his daughter and the trio were seen beaming in a snap with Tony and Kiki while wearing a brown t-shirt wrap dress, with a red and gold patterned head scarf and aviator sunglasses. 'When your daughter casually introduces you to a Hollywood A lister @margotrobbieofficial and one of the most beautiful woman in the world on the @obeachibiza stage,' Tony wrote as he shared the snap. 'They both reacquainted there love of doing shots together. Kiki casually dropped that next time the two of them will be doing shots together will be when they celebrate doing a movie together. 'Let's hope so darling both very talented actresses who both love partying & Ibiza.' O Beach co-owner Wayne Lineker, the brother of footballer Gary Lineker, reshared the snap to his Instagram Story, writing: 'Hahaha typical I'm not there for once [eye roll].'
