Wednesday Addams is back. And this time, The mystery becomes even deeper, personal and … Irishwith a darker and more intricate journey, while dealing with family, friendships, new mysteries and old enemies, who project her headlong in another year to snow.
The first part of the second season landed on Netflix on August 6, the second on September 3rd. But we have already seen some iconic places live thanks to the organization of Tourism Ireland and the Sister Agency Fáilte Ireland. Yes, We followed the footsteps on Wednesday, including tombs, legends and infested castles.
We stayed at the suggestive Powerscourt Hotelin the county of Wicklow. It is not just a perfect and luxurious base, but also one of the silent protagonists of the series: Many of the most important scenes of the season have been shot in and around this spectacular estate, where impetuous waterfalls, tree -lined paths and majestic gardens draw the perfect background for the Universe Addams.
The series returns to the Netflix on August 6, anticipated by the participation of the creator Tim Burton in the Giffoni Film Festival
In the company of the Location Manager of the series, Maria O’ConnoR, we visited one of the key places on Wednesday: Powerscourt Graveyard, aka Nevermore Graveyard. We access the cemetery by passing through a monumental and disturbing gate. The protagonists and stuntmans have shot here scenes in which, as always, the border between life and death is thin, volatile and, as the Addams family likes, magnificently disturbing.
Always near the estate, one gets lost in the Powerscourt Gardenswhich in the series become the home of Hester, Mother of Morticia and grandmother on Wednesday. A new character with a sharp language, the elegant attitude and, seems, very wealthy. There is that he wants nothing less than those immense and well -kept gardens for his not too humble home. In real life, here you can also give yourself a lunch overlooking and, if the Irish weather is Clemente, live an afternoon out of time.
The tree -lined avenues of the Powerscourt Riverwalk They are the perfect scenario for the sequences in the car, where the branches close as claws above the head of the characters and the wind whispers things that do not want to hear. Among the various routes, these long paths will be able to lead you to Powerscourt waterfallsfor a visual and natural impact that leaves you breathless. If, in real life, it looks like an almost bucolic place where couples and families go to give themselves a picnic in the open area, immersing themselves in a suggestive atmosphere, in the series, that area corresponds to Camp Jerichowhere chaos reigns: challenges to the last blood between outcast and normal, broken hearts, zombie murders, a mysterious stalker and the risk that two years dedicated to the writing of Wednesday’s novel go to smoke.

In the castles enchanted by Charleville to Trim
In the heart of Ireland, in Tillamore, it stands, instead, the majestic Charleville Castlewhich hosts the Snowman academy in the second season. Restide stairs, gray salt with intricate ceilings, Gothic windows: the very essence of Wednesday’s world.
Some curiosities? A window has been replaced with a fake to allow a werewolf to … launch yourself out. And it seems that Tim Burton witnessed a Goth wedding celebrated right here: the bridegroom and the bride, with a dark style, felt as if they had won the lottery to see the director applauding during the wedding. A bit as if a couple of football fans had married in a stadium and had sighted Messi and Ronaldo in the stands during the exchange of the faiths. An apparition that transforms a special day into something legendary.
The castle, not even to say, is obviously infested: The guests testify to having warned appearances, having heard furniture moving on their own, doors closing hermetically and the voice of a girl, Harriet, who died falling from the stairs at just eight years old. His portrait observes you silently, just before the fatal staircase. There is no shortage of secret tunnels behind the bookstores and let alone cats (rigorously black) that appear and disappear as ghosts.
If you love the series, Gothic architecture or paranormal, this place screams your name. Literally.
We then moved to Trimanother stage of our tour. Here, thanks to the Craicly Communitywe participated in a special Irish style storytelling session, between folklore and restlessness. Did you know that Ireland is the real Halloween house? Forget the classic American pumpkins: turnips are carved here, used to frighten the evil spirits.
And do you do them? Forget the angelic and glittered appearance: they are shapeshifterform Rancorose who, after losing a war against humans, were buried underground. On the night of Halloween, it is said that they are looking for revenge and kidnap the children to give life to a new lineage. The true children of the unfortunate parents remain trapped in the other world, while in their place they appear changing, substitutes that often die in a short time. Thus, the families cry the death of children who, in reality, are still alive, but hostages of the fairies.
Speaking of stories, for cinema fans, a few steps are located a few steps The TRIM Castleset of the cult braveheart With Mel Gibson, which can also be visited inside.
In the locality there is also an armory Where they explain why many of the scenes proposed in the films have no historical relevance: for example, no medieval hero would have started looking for the arrows behind the back. He would have taken too long, not to mention the weight of the arch and the rapidity necessary in battle. Scenographic and Hollywood, yes. But definitely little practical and realistic. The Faretra, in fact, was brought back in front or on the side, to facilitate a quick extraction of the arrows in the most critical moments.
If you go to Ireland, you cannot fail to go to the capital. And if you are in Dublin, An unmissable stop is Trinity Collegewhich, among other things, also acts as a backdrop to some key moments of the second season of Wednesday: The airport scene, visible in the trailer, was shot at the Trinity Business School, while the therapist’s office is located in the graduate Memorial Building.
Just outside the building, to lovers of the TV series, a street art will not escape protagonists Connell and Marianne di Normal Peopleanother story shot, in part, here. And perhaps, for someone, the incommunicability between two people who love each other is more frightening but cannot understand each other and sometimes succumb to the vicissitudes of life, compared to any paranormal creature.
But we have very high and very dark expectations for this new chapter on Wednesday. Another year a Snowman It has just begun. And you? Are you ready? If you are not, to support you, we tend to you … Hand.
