After the enormous success of the first season, released in 2022 and became with 252 million views globally the most popular Netflix English series, “Wednesday” returns with new episodes. The first part of the second season of the Netflix series signed by the Dark Master Tim Burton will be released on August 6: Jenna Ortega will return to play the role of Wednesday Addams, the young Moonful of the Freaks family created by Charles Addams, in new adventures. The music will still be central, in the episodes of “Wednesday 2”. And Tim Burton has chosen to pay homage to another band symbol of rock. If in 2022 the director had included The Cramps and their “Goo Muck” in the soundtrack of the first season (the 1980 classic was the background at the Scenual Academy’s annual dance scene, the Academy for Freaks frequented from Wednesday), this time the choice fell on none other than Cranberries. The song, of course, is “zombie”: the hit that in 1994 catapults the Irish group led by Dolores O’Riordan at the top of the world charts accompanied one of the most exciting scenes – no spoiler – of the new episodes, set in a asylum.

The soundtrack of “Wednesday” continues, in short, to dye up with rock. Among others, in the very first episode of the Wednesday series he played at the cello “Paint It Black” of the Rolling Stones:

Among the protagonists of the second season of “Wednesday” there will also be Lady Gaga. That’s right. The voice of “Poker Face”, which in 2022 saw his “Bloody Mary” becoming viral on Tiktok after millions of users recreated the ballet of Jenna Ortega replacing “Goo Goo Muck” with the song of the pop star, agreed to play a small role in “Wednesday 2”: it will be Rosaline Rotwood, a Nevermore teacher Academy.
