Devotees of Netflix's supernatural smash hit Wednesday are facing their own real-life horror story as production on the highly anticipated second season hits a terrifying delay.
Fans expecting to see Jenna Ortega reprise her role as the iconic Addams Family daughter are in for a bitter disappointment. Instead of wrapping production this year, filming won't commence until late 2024, pushing a potential release date deep into 2025.
Behind the Scenes Turmoil
The Mirror can reveal that the delay stems from a perfect storm of industry challenges. The production is grappling with the aftermath of last year's Hollywood strikes, which created a massive backlog across the entertainment industry.
Compounding the issue are significant creative changes to the script. With the entire writers' room being overhauled, the new team is taking time to refine the direction of Season 2, ensuring it meets the sky-high expectations set by the first season's phenomenal success.
A Fandom on the Brink
The online reaction has been nothing short of volcanic. Social media platforms are flooded with dismayed comments from the show's massive fanbase.
One exasperated fan tweeted, "We've been waiting for ages, and now this? My disappointment is immeasurable." Another lamented, "This is the worst news I've heard all week. The wait is going to be unbearable."
The extended hiatus places immense pressure on the production to deliver a second season that justifies the agonising wait for its legions of dedicated followers.
