“Wednesday” may make the jump to Amazon Prime Video due to a rights issue

‘Wednesday’ continues unstoppable at the top of the Netflix catalog. The series, which has already amassed four weeks in the global Top 1 for hours played on the aforementioned streaming platform, would have problems facing the announcement of its second season.

The reason is none other than a rights issue related to “The Addams Family”, a product of MGM. This company, which merged with Amazon Prime Video last spring for more than $8 billion, according to Deadline; He would have to his credit the possibility of developing content related to the eccentric family. Thus, this deal would jeopardize the series’ continuity on Netflix, since the rights would indirectly become the property of Amazon Prime Video (according to The Independent speculates, via MovieWeb). However, for now, all of this is still a rumor.

This whisper comes at a time when all eyes are on Peter Friedlander, who oversees fictional content in the US and Canada. Many are wondering why they are waiting for the confirmation of the second season on Netflix. According to some statements Friedlander offered to Variety ahead of its premiere, guessing success, ‘Wednesday’ is something to be studied with a magnifying glass: “We’re really at the beginning of this cultural phenomenon, there’s a lot to absorb and learn about it.”

Either on Amazon Prime Video or on Netflix, the truth is that “Wednesday” has all the votes to renew for a second season. This continuation would serve the creators of the series, Al Gough and Miles Millar, a explore plots that still have enormous potential, interest and wide developmentas in the case of the bond between the matriarch and little Addams: “Now that Morticia knows of her daughter’s power […] How will their relationship evolve?”they commented in an interview for The Hollywood Reporter.

Bisexual Wednesday?

There was no shortage of suitors in Wednesday’s first season of the series, but beyond Tyler or Xavier, Jenna Ortega is clear where the punches should go. Indeed, in the statements to Pride, the protagonist of said series said so “in an ideal world Enid and Wednesday would have something”. This possibility is a question that, after seeing the bond between the protagonist and her best friend, gains strength, but, at least for now, only as a mere desire.

Gough and Millar spoke on the subject in the interview for THR, clarifying that this relationship would take place, but not as a romantic couple: “For us the show is also about female friendship, Wednesday and Enid are central to that so the fact that they really resonate with the audience has been really gratifying”said Gough. However, Milar wanted to leave this door ajar: “The idea of ​​brotherhood is key to the show, but we won’t rule anything out and obviously sometimes the characters reveal new facets which is what’s fun and what we love about the series, which is an organic journey.”
