Sonya’s First Modelling Gig 

“I landed my first modeling job in a Sunsilk commercial”, said Sonya Hussayn.

“I received 100,000pkr for the commercial. When I heard about the amount, I literally passed out. Since I had very long hair, they had to cut them short for the commercial.” She added.

While talking about her first job, she mentioned that she was very happy with the result and the money she was getting out of it.

“They had cut a long strand of my hair. I was very happy but it came out as a big shock to my family since my father likes long hair.”

While talking about her first onscreen appearance in a drama she mentioned,

“When my first drama aired, I and my family were sitting together. The first time for someone in the industry is very hard for anyone and their families, but I remember when ‘Dareecha’ aired there was a scene between the father and his daughter which was so good. I remember my father getting emotional over it and hugging me which felt like he had approved my work.”

Sonya also shared her initial days at work and how she got cast for a telefilm.

“We had auditions going on in our college for the position of news anchor. I was so happy to participate but later they said they can’t hire someone so young for the job.” She said while laughing.

“But later on I got a call from the same channel and they then offered me a role in my first telefilm.” She added.

Beyond The Checkout Lane: Here’s Why Brands Charge For Shopping Bags

Many brands have now introduced shopping bags as part of their products. Offering shopping bags may be a new marketing strategy or simply may just be a step towards being earth friendly.

A change of pattern has been seen in many brands, whatever the reason may be. New and more sustainable products have been launched by a lot of the brands. One such product is paper bags instead of plastic bags.

Why Are Paper Bags Better?

Paper bags have some advantages over plastic bags when it comes to sustainability. They are easier to recycle, and, because they are biodegradable, they can be used for purposes like composting. Bags that can not be recycled end up becoming litter, because they do not biodegrade. In addition to filling up landfills and becoming eyesores, plastic bags that become litter endanger many facets of the environment, including marine life and the food chain. Also, many paper bags can withstand more pressure or weight than plastic bags so now customers can shop as much as they want without worrying about how they’ll carry it.

Why Are Brands Charging For Them? 

Everything comes at a price. And, when it’s the bare minimum of Rs.50, it’s a bargain. Many brands charge an average amount of Rs.50 for these bags at the time of checkout. Paper is very resource-heavy to produce. Manufacturing a paper bag takes about four times as much energy as it takes to produce a plastic bag. This means higher production costs for the company. Almost every brand has profit maximization as one of its aims. So, if they try to cut costs, it might just be fair enough.

Although, not everyone may agree with this point of view but on the brighter side, this can be thought of as a little gift from the brand to its brand-conscious customers. Along with being earth friendly, sustainable, and a fan-favorite brand, companies introducing paper bags is a really good initiative.

YouTube Announces Good News For ‘Shorts Creators’

YouTube is rolling out a new program for YouTube content creators. With this program, users can generate revenue with the help of YouTube shorts and can monetize their channels. The Partner Program which is released ahead of February 1st is an agreement that the creators must sign to begin earning ad share revenue on their Shorts views.

‘YouTube Shorts’ Monetized 

The company is releasing ‘Monetization Modules’ as a part of its partner program. These modules will provide creators more flexibility as they earn money on YouTube. YouTube suggests that the users must accept all of them so that they can utilize the full earning potential of the platform. The Partner Program which is starting on February 1st must be signed and accepted by creators by July 10th.

Partner Program Modules 

Module 1 – Watch Page Monetization Module. The first module allows creators to earn money from ads.  These ads are run on the creators’ long-form videos and YouTube Premium.

Module 2 – Shorts Monetization Module. The second module can let content creators earn money from ads that play between Shorts in the Shorts Feed and YouTube Premium.

Module 3 – Commerce Product Addendum. This feature is basically for Channel Memberships and Superstars.

Creators who are eligible to apply for the program must have at least 1,000 subscribers and more than 10 million views on Shorts over 90 days. If they fit the following criteria then they can start with the Shorts Monetization Module.

Creators Funds 

According to YouTube, the money generated by the ads will go towards paying music licensing companies and creators. There is a shared pool where the funds will be collected and calculated at the end of each month. The amount of money going to the creator pool will depend on the number of musical tracks creators feature in their Shorts. A clip with no music will divert the revenue associated with that video toward the creator pool. Meanwhile, for a Short with a single song, about one-third of the related revenue will go toward paying for licensing. In a Short with two songs, two-thirds will go toward licensing.

The funds will then be distributed based on the creators’ video views. If a creator gets 5% eligible views out of all Shorts uploaded by monetizing creators, they will then be allocated 5% of the revenue in the creator pool. Creators will keep 45% of their allocated Shorts revenue and the YouTube will get a 55 percent revenue cut.

Ahsan And Minal Get Extreme Backlash For Posting “Beach” Picture

Image Source: Instagram

It is not uncommon for us to see cute couple pictures online of our favorite celebrity couples. Recently, a fan-favorite couple, Minal and Ahsan, posted their romantic getaway beach pictures. Although, some fans felt very wholesome after seeing the pictures. On the other hand, the picture received very serious hate.

Image Source : Instagram

Comments like these were seen under the couple’s post. People criticized them for being too “vulgar” and not keeping their romantic life “private” enough. Other fans trolled them for being unfaithful to their religious morals.

Image source: Instagram

But can one’s religious morals be questioned by what they upload on social media? Apparently, yes. Fans seem to judge the young husband and wife’s “Islam” after such intimate photos. PDA has always been taboo in the Pakistani TV industry. We have seen similar reactions under other celebrity couples photos. Such as when Yasir Hussain and Iqra Aziz posted their honeymoon pictures in Thailand. Simultaneously, Sarwat Gillani and Fahad Mirza, and even Saboor Aly and Ali Ansari.

So, it has been time and again, when the internet trolls have done their job to their max. However, Minal and Ahsan are not new to this backlash. This isn’t the first time the newly married couple has posted such intimate pictures online for the world to see. At the beginning of their love life, they posted pictures and videos of their proposal and got backlash.

Image Source : Instagram

After their engagement photos, they started a streak of such pictures. Every now and then they would upload “cute” or “indecent” photos. The fans would also then react accordingly.

But is it fair to them? Can a couple not post their special moments online without the fear of being judged?

Do you agree? Let us know in the comments below.

Android vs iPhone : Which One To Buy In 2023?

The two most widely used smartphone operating systems are Android and the iPhone running iOS. Both have distinctive qualities and skills of their own, making the choice between the two challenging for many individuals. In order to help you choose which platform is best for you in 2023, in this post we will evaluate Android and iOS in terms of their user interfaces, app selection, performance, and security.

Android vs iPhone: Which is the best for 2023? - Gizchina.com

User Interface

The user interface of Android and iPhone is one of their most obvious distinctions. With possibilities to modify the home screen, app icons, and general theme, Android smartphones have a more configurable interface. The iPhone, on the other hand, offers a less customizable, more unified UI.

App selection

The selection of apps is another thing to think about while deciding between Android and iOS. There are many apps accessible on both platforms, but there are certain distinctions to take into account.

UK Smartphone Users, Android vs. iPhone, 2020-2023 (millions) | Insider Intelligence
Source: Inside intelligence

Overall, there are more applications available for Android, including more free ones. However, certain well-known apps, such as some games, and music streaming apps, could debut on the iPhone first. Additionally, iOS’s app store is more carefully regulated, requiring all applications to pass scrutiny before being approved for distribution. Overall app quality may improve as a consequence of this, but it may also prolong the time it takes for new apps to be made accessible on the market.

Security

Any smartphone user should be concerned about security, and both Android and iPhone have their own safeguards in place to secure user information.

Due to their open design, Android smartphones are often thought to be less secure than iPhones. Because Android users may install applications from sources other than the Google Play Store, there is a higher chance that malicious apps will be downloaded. In order to overcome this problem, Android has improved recently. Including the launch of Google Play Protect, which checks applications for viruses before downloading them.

On the other hand, the ecosystem for iPhone devices is more restricted because all applications must be approved by Apple before they can be downloaded. This aids in lowering the likelihood of installing fraudulent programs, but it may also diminish the platform’s versatility.

Performance

Both Android and iPhone have their own advantages and disadvantages in terms of performance. Android smartphones often have higher RAM and processing power. This may enable individuals to work more quickly and effectively on several projects at once. However, this may also result in Android smartphones’ batteries lasting less time than iPhones.

Processing power and RAM are often lower in iPhone devices. However, they usually use resources more effectively. Longer battery life may come from this, but it may also make iPhones slower at managing numerous activities or running resource-demanding applications.

To sum up, both Android and iPhone offer distinctive features and functionalities that appeal to a variety of people. Android has more apps available and a more customized UI. But it could have a lesser battery life and be less secure. The iPhone’s UI is more consistent, and its app store is more organized. However, it could be less capable in terms of processing speed and app choices. In the end, your preferences and needs will determine whether you choose an iPhone or an Android.

Will Samsung S23 Offer The Best Nighttime Camera Performance Ever?

The debut of the Galaxy S23 is undoubtedly approaching, and as is always the case before large Unpacked events, leaks are starting to surface more frequently the closer we get to the actual release. Recently, a few official GIF-format teaser videos have surfaced. They don’t specifically mention the Galaxy S23 series, but they do confirm a triple-camera arrangement (at least for the Galaxy S23 and S23+) and give us an idea of what Samsung will be concentrating on for the flagships of 2023.

The teaser

Source: Time News

The catchphrases and keywords used in the teaser videos are “Mode for moonlight,” Even in little light, capture the night. “Awesome night photographs are on the way,” “Megapixels that will leave you speechless,” A “wow-worthy resolution” will shortly be delivered.

Taking mobile photography to the next level

These two little promotional videos are probably only two of many. Similar teasers may also highlight various Galaxy S23 series features, such as performance, design, and so on.

But based on these two teaser teasers, which are seen below, it appears that Samsung is investing more in mobile camera technology. For a few months now, there have been whispers regarding the Galaxy S23 series’ enhanced photography capabilities, and these leaked official teasers definitely live up to those expectations.

For the Galaxy S23 series, it is reasonable to conclude that Samsung has strived to improve nighttime photography. At least based on these teasers, it looks that low-light shooting is the main focus, although it’s certainly reasonable to assume that the camera experience has generally improved — regardless of the setting.

Camera strength

According to rumors, the 200MP primary camera on the Galaxy S23 Ultra is built on an improved ISOCELL HP1 sensor. Along with a 12MP ultra-wide camera, the Ultra model should also contain a 10MP telephoto camera with a 10x optical zoom and a second telephoto sensor with a 3x optical zoom. The camera resolutions on the Galaxy S23 basic and Plus variants may be comparable to those on last year’s flagships.

Early February 2023 is when Samsung is expected to introduce the Galaxy S23 series. After the Unpacked reveal, there will probably be a two-week pre-order period.

Ozone Layer Slowly Healing: Is The Earth Finally Safe?

The discovery of the ozone layer was made in 1913 by French scientists. A gaping hole in the layer was discovered by scientists in 1985 but the ozone layer had actually begun depleting way before that in the 1970s.

Image Source : National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration

What Is The Ozone Layer? 

The ozone layer is a region of Earth’s stratosphere that absorbs most of the Sun’s ultraviolet radiation. It contains a high concentration of ozone. Unfortunately, the gradual depletion of the ozone layer has been occurring since the 80s. Gradual depletion means the thinning of the ozone layer to the point that a hole is created. Chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs are the main cause of this. These are released by solvents, spray aerosols, refrigerators, air-conditioners, etc.

How Have We Contributed? 

Human activities involve such substances found in refrigerators and air conditioning equipment and in fire extinguishers. Others include aerosol propellants, solvents, and blowing agents for insulation foams. Activities that release pollutants into the atmosphere alter it. Global warming is caused primarily by putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when coal, oil, and natural gas are burned to generate electricity or to run our cars which eventually leads to carbon dioxide spreading around the planet like a blanket. This is the main gas responsible for the absorption of infrared radiation (felt as heat).

The Hole

The hole lies above Antarctica. The pictures above show the difference in the size of the hole. The first picture is from 2022 and the second is from 2023 after recent research from scientists. Scientists from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), reported that the hole in the ozone layer is continuing to shrink. “Over time, steady progress is being made, and the hole is getting smaller. We see some wavering as weather changes and other factors make the numbers wiggle slightly from day to day and week to week. But overall, we see it decreasing through the past two decades.” said Paul Newman, chief scientist for Earth sciences at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.

Is The Earth Finally Safe?

No one can say with full certainty whether the Earth is finally completely safe or not. But, there is some good news. Scientists have been closely monitoring the hole with new 3D imaging technology. They say it could heal by 2070 thanks to massive global help especially the Montreal Protocol signed in 1987. CFC’s have also been banned in around 200 countries. The hole has been closing by 3% every decade reportedly. This is a significant improvement on the path to recovery.

How To Take Care Of Your Car In Winters

How To Take Care Of Your Car In Winters
Image Source: Business Insider

The winter months bring a whole new set of issues and elements that will have an impact on your automobile. Today, we’ll talk about these concerns and examine the best ways to get your automobile ready to withstand a dip in temperature. So, let’s get started with our list of the most important winter auto maintenance advice that will assist you in properly preparing your vehicle for the next season.

1. Check battery health

It is commonly known that summer heat is the worst enemy of your automobile battery. Although the winter doesn’t cause temperature-related harm to your battery, it still has an impact. Your automobile battery has a strong possibility of dying out over the winter if its charge is low or nearly empty. The battery contains distilled water, which is essential to the chemical reaction taking place there. The cells may sustain irreparable harm if this distilled water freezes during the process. Electrical system dysfunction is one of the main indications of battery deterioration. The primary symptoms of a battery problem are startup issues, dim or flickering lights, and a lack of operation of the cabin lighting or audio systems.

2. Installing Winter Tires

Making sure your automobile has winter tires mounted is perhaps the easiest and most crucial step in preparing it for the chilly winter months. Your driving efficiency may be greatly improved by using winter tyres, which will also keep you safe on snowy roads. You should check your tires often during the winter to make sure they are properly inflated and still have good tread.

3. Check your windshield wipers

One of the most crucial maintenance advice for your safety is this. Nothing is worse than driving on an ice day with reduced visibility while using windscreen wiper fluid that doesn’t work effectively in cold weather. Make sure your windscreen wipers are in good working order and that you have filled them with windscreen wiper fluid that is designed to be used in colder climates and has de-icing properties.

4. Check your heater and fog cleaner vent

Nothing is worse than attempting to escape the cold outside by getting into your car, only to find that it is just as chilly inside and the heat won’t turn on. This will cause you to say, “What? I never thought considered checking my heaters!” We advise having your heaters tested to make sure they are in good working order before the truly cold winter strikes us hard. To ensure that you have a clear and secure vision of the road, you should check on this in advance as it also pertains to the defrosting system on your windscreen.

5. Keep an emergency kit in the car

When you’re driving, especially if it’s late at night and you’re far from home, you never know what can happen. We hope this never happens to you, but if it does, you’ll be glad you planned ahead and put an emergency kit for winter in your car if you find yourself in a scenario where you can’t immediately get outside to obtain help. A blanket, flashlight, non-perishable food items, water, jumper cables, shovel, and sand or salt are goods to have in this kit. Additionally, keeping your phone charged before lengthy winter drives is a good idea just in case.

This TikTok Feature Is About To Take Care Of Your Addiction

Image Source: CNBC

According to Tech Crunch, the makers of the app are implementing a new function that attempts to ensure that its users get adequate and uninterrupted sleep for at least seven hours in order to address users’ complaints about their sleep routines being disturbed owing to TikTok’s addictive nature.

One of the most serious criticisms of the social media platform is that users find the program to be so addicting that they frequently lose track of time when browsing through it for hours at a time. Their sleep is ultimately impacted by this.

What does it do

The sleep reminders element of the app, which is currently under development, will provide users with a number of choices, including the ability to schedule bedtime alarms and mute notifications while they are sleeping. This new tool is presently being tested with a select group of customers throughout the globe, claims the business.

Under the term “Sleep Reminders,” this new function will be accessible under the Screen Time settings. According to the business, this function would let users know when it is time to go to sleep. Users choose a bedtime for this, and the app will remind them of it as it gets closer.

Additionally, the app will muffle push notifications for seven hours automatically to prevent users from being awakened by the app’s alerts. According to a TikTok representative, the new tool “builds on its current digital well-being capabilities” and that the company is “currently working on additional methods to assist users’ well-being”.

However, no official release date for this feature has been made public by the corporation. The formal introduction of this function has not yet been determined, either.

Why was this feature introduced on TikTok?

The app’s addictive nature has drawn criticism from a variety of sources, and worries about its negative effects, particularly on its younger population, are common even in Pakistan. TikTok has unveiled a variety of features that allow users more control over how the app is used in response to these concerns.

In February 2020, methods for managing screen time were released, and adolescent users’ access to nocturnal notifications was restricted. Users who are 13 to 15 years old will not receive push notifications after 9 o’clock, and users who are 16 to 17 years old will not receive push notifications after 10 o’clock.

Hypocrisy Or Favoritism: What Really Is Fashion In The Pakistani TV Industry?

Time and again, we have seen our favorite celebrities set new fashion trends. However, the feedback from the public has not always been positive or negative. Every celebrity in the Pakistani TV industry has their every move always closely monitored by the public eye. Anything they wear makes them subject to either criticism or becoming talk of the town. But when it comes to fashion, fans tend to get a little more up close and personal when expressing their opinions.

Image Source : Brandsynario

Comments like these are commonly seen under many celebrities’ Instagram posts. Fans also go as far as questioning their religion and faith in God. But, can religion really be judged by someone’s fashion choices?

Hypocrisy Or Favoritism? 

In a time where diverse concepts like body positivity, multiculturalism, anti-colourism, equality, and feminist activism exist, is it really fair to set specific beauty standards and a  definitive beauty code for actors and actresses? People supporting the fashion choices of certain celebrities have been seen multiple times on social media. Their support is seen fitting the categories of such modern, revolutionary mindsets.

However, this support can be biased at times depending on who the actress is. Many actresses have gotten away with bold fashion choices many times because of their fandom’s support. But on the other end of the spectrum, many actresses have faced negative backlash just because they are not “liked” enough. So, is this hypocrisy or just simple favoritism on the fans’ end?

Dur-e-Fishan Saleem, the 26-year-old, newest heartthrob, recently received some negative feedback for her Red Carpet look where fans stated that she looked “older” for her age. Some also called her “aunty” in the commonly used derogatory way. Such terminology strengthens the idea of women fitting into a certain type of color, height, weight, body type, hair type, etc to be considered as “beautiful”. 

Image Source : Brandsynario

On the other hand, in her recent post where she wore a black lehenga, people changed stances and started to criticize her for “revealing” too much.

Similar incidents have happened involving other actresses too such as Mahira Khan, Hania Amir, Ushna Shah, and Mehwish Hayat. This makes one wonder whether the audience is actually biased when reacting to celebrities.

The public has always spoken their mind freely on social media, but maybe they do not realize what a toll on one’s mental health their comments can take. Judging one’s morals like character and faith by their fashion preferences has been talked about by female celebrities many times. Some have also pleaded their fans to be “kinder” when commenting. But no improvement in trolling has led many of the stars to limit commenting access under their posts.

Eat Food Festival Or “Fiasco” Festival?

Every year, the people of Karachi look forward to the biggest food festival of the year. Eat’23 took place in Karachi Beach View Park on 6th, 7th and 8th January 2023. People from all over the country came to the festival to have a good time; setting a new record for the highest people turnover at Eat in the last 10 years.

The festival was supposed to be safe and secure along with being fun for everyone. However, things took a bitter turn. With the entrance fee being only Rs.600, the first day, thousands of people showed up. Security was extremely alert at the entrance and exit. The management made sure the “no stags allowed” rule was strictly followed. But, unfortunately, once the visitors had entered the premises, there was no security to maintain control. The first and second day went smoothly, but the third day of Eat has caused an uproar on social media because of the incidents that took place.

Because the number of people increased unexpectedly, the “stags” were somehow able to get inside. They broke the gates and forcefully barged in when stopped by the bouncers. After that, women at the event were treated inappropriately by the men that entered by force which later led to brawls between them and the men with families.

The situation escalated quickly with all sorts of people entering forcefully. Families and groups had no other choice but to escape the park as soon as they could. The management of Eat took immediate action and cancelled all performances there and then. They got the live artists and people to safety as fast as they could.

Who Is To Really Blame? 

Soon, the management of Eat started to get extreme backlash from netizens. But is the management of Eat the only ones to be blamed? Pakistan as a nation has time and again shown that maybe they do not “deserve” such events. Previously, such incidents have occurred at other events like concerts of Talha Anjum, Natasha Baig, Atif Aslam and many other artists. Despite the security being extremely well trained and well equipped, the crowd present has misbehaved. So, cases like these make one adamant to believe that maybe there are groups of individuals that will always show a lack of decency and common sense when attending such events no matter the management.

Response From The Eat Management

Even after getting immense hate from the public, the management of Eat came out with an apology. Here is what Omar Omari, CEO Eat Food Pakistan had to say,

“The Eat Festival came to life 10 years ago with the aim of bringing diverse good food, the citizens of Karachi and music all together under one roof. Over the years, we have taken the brand to Lahore and Islamabad with the same aim in mind. Despite our most stringent efforts, the closing day of our 10th Eat Festival saw unruly crowd behavior and some very unfortunate and sad incidents occurred. This vengeful disregard for rules and regulations gave rise to events that caused much discomfort to innocent people as gate crashers ran amuck. The crowd at the venue on Sunday was less in absolute numbers than on Saturday but because there were no unruly gate crashers, the first two days ended on a civilized note. Regardless, we are collecting the data and conducting a deeper investigation into the
matter of surveillance, breach of boundary walls and the need to up the restrictions of what is brought into the arena. Our thoughts and sincere apologies for all who were affected by the unruly crowd and the innocent people who were caught in the crossfire.”

Here’s Why Everyone Is Doing The “Moisture Sandwich” Trend On TikTok

Every other day, viewers on TikTok are going crazy following several new trends. Female viewers mostly make videos as soon as a new skincare trend is launched. This time it’s the “moisture sandwich” trend. After “slugging” and “skin cycling”, this new trend is helping people achieve the glass skin look. Skincare trends like these are heavily inspired by Korean beauty standards where women have crystal clear, poreless, translucent, and luminous skin that imitates a glass-like look because of all the shine.

The moisture sandwich trend basically requires one to layer all their skin care products one after the other. The process of applying products on top of damp skin ensures your skin stays hydrated. It is seen that this trend works best for people with dry skin, especially in the winter season. Influencers have also been promoting their skincare routine while showing how to the moisture sandwich routine.

How It Is Actually Done

According to dermatologists and beauty influencers, this is how it is supposed to be done :

  1. After washing your face, dry just enough to leave the skin a little damp.
  2. Follow up with a hydrating toner, essence, or mist and let it sit so it penetrates deep intp the skin.
  3. Next, begin applying your lighter serum, continuing to spray a hydrating mist between each step until you reach your final product. So basically, the order is mist, serum, mist, the next serum and then finally moisturizer.
  4. An optional step is to seal all the products with a thick barrier of Vaseline or any balm, though this is not recommended for those with acne-prone or oily skin types.

Why It May Not Be Suitable For Everyone 

This trend is seemingly doing well for everyone on TikTok however, dermatologists have reacted and said that this may not be the best skin care hack for every skin type. They caution against this if you have acne-prone skin or tend to sweat a lot. The nightly application of a thicker ointment can be too occlusive and cause breakouts when excess sweat or oils get trapped. It’s also important to pay attention to how this feels against your skin. If you don’t like the feel or consistency of a thicker ointment, it may not be the best option.

Anyhow, like other viral skincare trends, this has also taken over TikTok overnight. And we don’t think that influencers are getting over this anytime soon.

Wednesday Season 2: Release Date, Cast and More

Image Source: NME

Netflix has finally picked up Wednesday for a second season after its record-breaking debut. Here is all the information you need to know about Wednesday season 2, including the cast, possible release date, and more.

Wednesday, a The Addams Family spinoff, received a second season renewal from Netflix on January 6, 2023. Fans have eagerly anticipated this since Wednesday’s season 1’s original release on November 23, 2022. The recent rumors that Wednesday would be replaced by Amazon Prime Video made the news from Netflix even more thrilling for consumers.

Creators confirm season 2

Netflix revealed the second season and provided a teaser as part of the announcement. But other than talking about how Jenna Ortega’s character, Wednesday Addams, has been “mimicked millions of times across the internet,” it doesn’t reveal anything about the second season’s comeback.

Thanks to everyone who made the forthcoming season possible, Jenna Ortega said in response to the news. She remarks, “This has been quite bizarre.

“So there you have it!!!!” Catherine Zeta-Jones, who portrays Wednesday’s mother Morticia, said in response to the news on Instagram. The greatest news!

Season 2 release date

We do not yet know the release date for Wednesday season 2 because the Netflix trailer left many unanswered. Since there is currently no information on when season two’s production will begin, no assumptions can be made about when it could be released.

Rumors about season 2 being aired on Amazon

Days before to Netflix’s announcement, rumors started to spread that Amazon Prime Video, a competitor, would be taking over season 2. This is as a result of its merger with the company that created the show, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM). Fortunately, Amazon has affirmed that the MGM-Amazon combination won’t have an impact on the availability of projects on other platforms, dispelling these fears among worried fans.

Wednesday cast members

We anticipate the following characters to reprise their roles from season 1 as Wednesday plunges headfirst into a new season.

Jenna Ortega plays Wednesday Addams in the Tim Burton-directed television series, which also features the actors mentioned below.

  • Riki Lindhome as Dr. Valeria Kinbott

  • Hunter Doohan as Tyler Galpin
  • Percy Hynes White as Xavier Thorpe
  • Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair
  • Moosa Mostafa as Eugene Otinger
  • Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay
  • Georgie Farmer as Ajax Petropolus
  • Naomi J. Ogawa as Yoko Tanaka
  • Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams

What to expect from season 2

Fans were on the edge of their seats as the first season came to a close on a cliffhanger with the debut of Wednesday’s “very first stalker.” Due to her distaste for social media, the programme has made it known that Wednesday has little internet presence. She got the texts on a phone that Xavier gave her. It’s strange how quickly a stalker was able to send her the threatening texts.

However, it is not surprising that the character has drawn a lot of attention from people around her given her remarkable temperament.

Who can be the new principle of the Nevermore Academy

Given that Morticia Addams is a former pupil and a Nightshade, it is quite likely that she will be chosen to lead the school now that the current principal has resigned.

If that happens, we can anticipate Wednesday’s response to be a fairly amusing and ultimately unsuccessful attempt to get her mother fired from her position as principal. Morticia Addams will probably start appearing regularly in the series if she wins the election for principal.
