'How do you know you're in a cult if it's your normal?' For most under the power of leader Ron Luce, believing you were meant to die a teen martyr for Christ was normal... It would appear there was so much for the Teen Mania Ministries escapees to unpack of their time at the church that Emmy-winning filmmakers Nicole Newnham and Cori Shepherd are back with a second season. They continue to focus on America's largest youth ministry, which attracted millions through wildly popular stadium shows known as 'Acquire the Fire'. Packed with Millennial-era energy and copious levels of cringe, the series captures massive crowds of teens swept up in fervent religious concerts, purity pledges, and missionary zeal — when all most of them needed was a decent regular rave to attend. Beneath the polished youth group image, it reveals rigid spiritual training, theatrical indoctrination, and emotional manipulation orchestrated by Luce.

The filming locations around Ireland you'll see in Wednesday season two
One of the fun things about watching something that has been shot in Ireland is recognising areas you're familiar with. Wednesday season two moved production from Romania to the Emerald Isle for season two and set up camp in Ashford Studios for the majority of the shoot. However, they did venture out to the surrounding areas on multiple occasions so, here are some of the locations Irish viewers might spot in Wednesday season 2. The Powerscourt Waterfall Pic: FLPA/Shutterstock 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. Then Irish Minister for Arts Sport and Tourism, John O'Donoghue visited the movie set of Becoming Jane starring Anne Hathaway, James McAvoy and Julie Walters at Charleville Forest Castle in 2006 Pic: ShowbizIreland/Getty Images 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 Would it be an Addams Family-centred series without a graveyard or two? Dublin's Deansgrange Cemetary was the location of choice for the Wednesday team and they also rebuilt a segment at the studio for some pick up shots. Wednesday season two is shot in Ireland Pic: Netflix Parts of Glendalough, Roundwood, and Kilternan were also used for scenes. Geek Ireland's Olivia Fahy on the set of Wednesday in Ashford Studios Pic: Netflix While you wouldn't know the difference between the sets and the real world locations, there will be one segment in part two that fans of another show might spot. As Jenna Ortega and Tim Burton revealed at the Global Press Conference, they took over some of the sets used in Vikings Valhalla for the show's Pilgrim World celebrations. See if you can spot it when part two drops in September.
