The Doom Tour: Netflix’s Wednesday Cast Hit Purple Carpet in Sydney Ahead of Ominous Fan Festival – Tonight in Sydney, Wednesday stars Jenna Ortega (Wednesday Addams), Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair), Gwendoline Christie (Larissa Weems), and Hunter Doohan (Tyler Galpin), were accompanied by Executive Producer and Director Tim Burton and series creators and showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar on the purple carpet as part of the final stop on The Doom Tour.
Flanked by flames with Sydney’s saccharine Harbour Bridge shimmering in the background, fans eagerly greeted the cast and crew at Wednesday Island, a massive immersive fan festival held on Cockatoo Island / Wereamah.
Joining the international superstars were Wednesday Island musical acts Peach PRC, Ūla, and Netflix stars Chloe Hayden, Gemma Chua-Tran and Kylah Day. Further details regarding the continuation of this macabre celebration are, unfortunately, available upon request.
ABOUT WEDNESDAY:
Wednesday, created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, premiered in 2022 and quickly became a record-breaking global phenomenon, claiming the #1 spot on Netflix’s list of most popular English shows of all time and spent 20 weeks on the Global Top 10. Based on characters created by Charles Addams and reimagined for a new generation with creative visionary Tim Burton. The show captivated fans with its witty, offbeat tone and the gothic charm of Wednesday Addams, brought to life by Jenna Ortega and ignited a massive fandom, her instagram followers went from 9M to 37M timed to the release of season 1.
The show became a cultural phenomenon, sparking a gothic fashion revival; causing the makeup used in the show to sell out; and The Cramps’ ‘Goo Goo Muck’ saw a 5,000% surge in streams four decades after the song’s release.
The iconic dance scene inspired millions of TikTok recreations using Lady Gaga’s “Bloody Mary,” sparking a 1,800% spike in song’s Spotify streams, prompting Lady Gaga to join in and to join the show as a guest star in season 2, which was announced during her performance at Netflix Tudum 2025. Wednesday has earned worldwide critical acclaim, garnering 50 award nominations and 17 wins, including Emmys®, Golden Globes and the SAG Awards.
As the franchise grows, it extends beyond the screen with immersive experiences at Netflix House and creative brand partnerships including Wendy’s US, McDonald’s France, Burger King Spain, Nu Bank LATAM and Cheetos US and LATAM. Wednesday returns for its highly anticipated second later this year, with part 1 releasing on August 6 and part 2 on September 3, and the show has already been renewed for season 3.
