6 Shows Like Wednesday to Watch While You Wait for Season 2
- Wednesday Addams season 2 release date
- Wednesday Season 2
Really, Wednesday is a nightmare. The Alfred Gough and Miles Millar-penned horror comedy, directed by Tim Burton, is one of Netflix's all-time most popular programs, the streaming service claims. In her role as teen iconoclast Wednesday Addams, Jenna Ortega provides an excellent performance. Wednesday Addams engages in typical Netflix teen show activities like trying to solve mysteries, getting involved in love triangles, and tussling with authority figures while attending a boarding school for otherworldly children.
Given the volume of viewers, Wednesday Season 1 has, there's a decent possibility you've seen it and are seeking something comparable to watch while you wait for Season 2. The good news is that there are plenty of shows like Wednesday to watch, especially on Netflix, because Wednesday has so many similarities to other shows. Put your best black attire on, pack up your cello, and start streaming.
I was shocked when Netflix decided to cancel the
supernatural teen horror dramedy Chilling Adventures of Sabrina in July 2020.
Then, in October 2020, Wednesday was revealed, and Sabrina's cancellation made
perfect sense. Because Sabrina and Wednesday are so similar, Netflix was unable
to produce both of them simultaneously. (I'm not claiming that's the real cause
of Sabrina's cancellation; Covid was the main factor. However, Wednesday is
Sabrina with more potential.) Based on the Sabrina the Teenage Witch comics,
Sabrina follows the title character, a half-human, half-witch played by Kiernan
Shipka, as she attends the Academy of Unseen Arts, a magical school similar to
Nevermore Academy, and solves mysteries while juggling conflicts with her
peers, teachers, and family and becoming entangled in a love triangle. Let's continue to watch teen supernatural shows! This is an
offshoot of The Vampire Diaries, which aired on the CW for four seasons.
Wednesday is produced with a larger budget than a CW program. Hope Mikaelson is
a half-vampire, half-werewolf, and half-witch who starts attending the
Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted, which is, you guessed it, a boarding
school for supernatural teens who don't fit in anywhere else. Danielle Rose
Russell plays Hope Mikaelson on Legacies. I know that math doesn't add up but
just go with it. Although Tim Burton didn't direct any of this, it misses a lot
of Wednesday's wit and flare, but if you're interested in the setting of a
school for werewolves and vampires, check it out. A new student (Jack Morton, played by Jake Manley) discovers
intrigue, peril, and romance while learning about the school's magical
secrets—a hidden society known as the Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose.—in yet
another supernatural Netflix adolescent show set at a school (Belgrave
University). It will do the trick if you want to watch another show about a
magical school without leaving Netflix because the pupils are a little older,
the budget is less, and the tone is more serious (though there is still plenty
of fun). The Umbrella Academy centers on a group of superpowered
siblings who come together to unravel the mystery surrounding their father's
passing. It isn't quite a supernatural teen show, but it also isn't a
supernatural teen show, at least in terms of vibes. It is based on a comic book
series by Gabriel Bá and Gerard Way. From a plot perspective, The Umbrella
Academy and Wednesday aren't that similar, but they do have a lot of
similarities that are difficult to explain other than to say that it seems like
the Netflix algorithm would suggest one if you watched the other. Because
Netflix is aware that viewers adore dance scenes, Wednesday has a significant
dance scene in Season 1 just like The Umbrella Academy did in Season 1. Before we continue, one more Netflix teen program. In
contrast to Wednesday's adolescent horror comedy, this one is a full-on teen
horror drama thanks to co-creator Mike Flanagan, Netflix's maestro of emotionally
taxing horror. It centers on a group of kids who are all terminally ill who
assemble each night at midnight at a youth hospice to share spooky tales with
one another. It's a heartbreaking, sporadically terrifying, and morbidly
humorous series that serves as Wednesday's vibe-based counterpart. Buffy the Vampire Slayer existed long before The Addams
Family, but Buffy pretty much created the sarcastic teen supernatural drama
genre that Wednesday continued. The titular slayer, played by Sarah Michelle
Gellar, must strike a balance between doing typical teen girl things and
slaying monsters. Although Sunnydale High isn't a magical school per se, it
might as well be given the number of demon principals, werewolf pupils, etc.
Even worse, she is involved in a love triangle with two vampires: the sinister
Angel (David Boreanaz) and the rogue Spike (James Marsters).Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
