The Doom Tour: The Wednesday Cast and Creators Descend Upon Australia – The doom and gloom of Wednesday Island kicked off at Cockatoo Island / Wereamah as Gwendoline Christie shocked fans with a grave revelation, the resurrection of her character Larissa Weems in the upcoming part two of Wednesday S2.
She made a surprise appearance at today’s Outcast Assembly which also saw Jenna Ortega (Wednesday Addams), Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair), Executive Producer and Director Tim Burton and series Creators and Showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar touch down in Sydney.
Gathered around the glow of a low-hung moon were Wednesday superfans, press and creators from 8 countries across Asia including Australia, New Zealand, India and the Philippines, frothing for a glimpse of the dramatically dark delegation. The assembly was streamed live on Instagram and Tiktok across Netflix social handles (@NetflixANZ, @WednesdayNetflix, @NetflixJapan, @NetflixPh & @Tiktoklive_AUNZ) reaching over 55M eyeballs around the world.
The Outcast Assembly kicks off a multi-day Sydney stop for press and creators across Asia, on Wednesday’s Global Doom Tour which will culminate in a shadowy fan experience on Saturday, August 16. Expect gothic wit, twisted mysteries, and deadpan mischief as Cockatoo Island / Wareamah is reborn in the image of the most deliciously dark series. A festival to die for.
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.
