The hit Netflix series Wednesday has returned for a brand-new series, and this time there’s a special Irish twist. The series, directed by Tim Burton and starring Jenna Ortega, was filmed right here in Ireland. This gave our local talent a chance to step into the eerie, enchanting world of the Addams Family.

We’re especially excited because Casting Director Sophie Holland and her team used Fishpond to help cast a number of roles for the new series. Lots of brilliant Irish actors auditioned, and it’s always a proud moment for us to see our community of actors getting the chance to showcase their skills on such a global stage. Whether or not you landed a role this time, every audition is an achievement and a step forward.

At Fishpond, our mission has always been to open doors and create opportunities for performers. Seeing major international productions like Wednesday come to Ireland and make use of local talent is proof of the incredible skill and creativity we have right here at home.

We’d like to congratulate everyone involved in bringing the new season to life.

The new season of Wednesday is streaming now on Netflix. Don’t miss it, and keep an eye out for that unmistakable Irish touch woven into the series.
