Will it be different in Season 2, a work of bad luck that did not win the top prize only in Korea.

Netflix held a press conference for the new Netflix series 'Wendday Season 2' at the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 11th. Director Tim Burton, Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers attended the event.

'Wendday' caused a worldwide syndrome by accumulating 1.7 billion hours of viewing and ranking No. 1 in Netflix's Global Top 10 TV (English), but it is also an unfortunate work that did not rank No. 1 in Korea. For the success in Korea, coach Tim Burton, Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers met Korean fans in person in Korea.

'Wendday2' is a Netflix series about Wednesday Adams, who returns to Nevermore Academy for the new semester, as he faces a more chilling and bizarre mystery surrounding him, searching for the truth behind it. Director Tim Burton, who has been fully supported by movie fans around the world for his fairytale yet dark worldview and style such as `Ghost Bride', `Big Fish```````.

Coach Tim Burton said of "Wednesday 2"Wednesday is probably a Wednesday"Wednesday"It will be a Wednesday-down season. I think the narrative about the family will be deeply addressed. This season will feature three major relationships with Wednesday, her mother, and her grandmother." It was my first time doing a TV series, and I put my creativity into it as if I was working on a movie. The actors were so great that I was happy to work with them" he said.

Jenna Ortega, who acted as Wednesday through Season 1, will also become a producer in Season 2. In response "The producer collaboration was really good. The collaborative relationship has evolved. We also talked a lot during season 1, and we were able to discuss the narrative at a high level. As an actor, I was able to get involved more deeply than just participating. Being able to learn more about the work and get started helped the acting. As a person with passion as an actor, I personally felt like a new world was opened by the secret door. It was a unique and interesting experience, he said, raising expectations for a deeper collaboration.

The characters are set to undergo many changes. Wednesday maintains his center in the play, but Enid, who awakened as a werewolf in season 1, is expected to show a new side. Jenna Ortega wrote "Wendesday knows for sure who she is, so there is no other change from season one." Emma Myers says "Inid is different from season one." After being a werewolf in season one, I had a fun summer vacation and returned to Nevermore. After that, you start hanging out with the wolf pack." Conflict between Wednesday and Enid is also expected. The two of them "There is a part where communication is lost and misunderstandings are built, and such a relationship is natural. That will be healing as well."

'Wendday' was a series that gained popularity overseas, but I had a regrettable report card because I couldn't use my energy as much as I did in Korea. His work, which was ranked No. 1 in all countries around the world, was not as good as it was in Korea. It is also true that it was disappointing because it did not reach the world's No. 1 record held by the 'Squid Game'. In response, Jenna Ortega responded, `I don't think it's good to see movies or dramas as a competition. I'm glad that I can do such a TV show and that Korean fans watch it. Just like many people who grew up in California, it's good that you watch this series all over the world. I think it's good to be able to empathize with people all over the world, not that figures are important. Season 2 is an episode in which the 6th episode, which will be in Part 2, is centered on Enid, and Emma loves Korean culture so much that she will like it with Korean songs in it. I hope you can watch it."

Coach Tim Burton also said, `I was happy and happy that season 1 was successful. Now, I'm glad that people around the world have seen our painstaking work. I don't think it's a competition at all. I think what people like is taste."

"Wendday2" released Part 1 on the 6th and will release Part 2 on September 3rd.
