News about Alfred Gough

Wednesday showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar have hired Emmy winner Thandiwe Newton to join the cast of the highly-anticipated second season of their hit Netflix show starring Jenna Ortega. The British 51-year-old - whose best known for her role in HBO 's Westworld - will play a mystery character, and production is expected to finally commence late April in Ireland - according to Variety .

Get ready, lovers of all things spooky: For a second season, "Wednesday" has been officially renewed. On January 6, Netflix revealed the news on a short teaser with a video of Jenna Ortega as the titular Wednesday, as well as scenes from the show and a video of fan gatherings. Lady Gaga's "Bloody Mary" was also used as the clip's soundtrack, a song that would have been popular on TikTok since being associated with the show on TikTok. In the clip, Netflix announced that "the global phenomenon will return for season two." More torture is coming. You're in luck. pic.twitter.com/t11LptFk7e.jpg www.twitter.com/t11LptFk7e.jpg

Netflix has yet to announce a second season extension for its record-breaking hit show on Wednesday, which may have become more complicated as a result of corporate mergers. The rights to The Addams Family and its buildings are owned by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, so when Amazon Studios bought the business last March for $8.5 billion, Wednesday seems to have come with it.

On Sunday, Netflix gave viewers a sneak peek behind the scenes of the new smash hit show at home. Actor Victor Dorobantu was seen wearing a blue-screen suit with his bare hand exposed, according to images shared on Twitter. Fans were shocked to learn that the actor's hand did the movements of the character Thing, Wednesday's unexpected companion in the coming-of-age, spooky comedy.

According to the show's executive producer, a second season of Wednesday may be on the way. With the words 'definitely more that you can explore in the world of the Addamses,' Alfred Gough, co-creator and executive producer of the Netflix dark drama, speculated at a potential sequel. When speaking to Empire, Gough said, 'Screenwriter Miles Millar and I are discussing it together.' In the world of the Addamses, there's certainly more to learn.'

Edward Scissorhands created a topiary dinosaur with his naked hands. Tim Burton, the film's producer, is clearly captivated by the creatures - he has a 'dinosaur garden' at his house with a dozen life-sized, hand-painted Jurassic animals, including a 25ft Tyrannosaurus Rex. The garden (and its oversized occupants) is hidden behind high walls at Burton's Oxfordshire country home, but the director of his latest television project, Stephen Collins, caught a glimpse during a recent interview.

On Wednesday, Netflix unveiled the first teaser for two-time Oscar nominee Tim Burton's live-action comedy film series focusing on Addams Family teen Wednesday Addams. Jenny Ortega plays a narrative character who lets piranhas jump into the Nancy Reagan High School swimming pool to maim a water polo player who mocked her brother Pugsley.
