Wednesday has been confirmed for a second season, and although changes are being made to the structure, one element must remain the same.

Wednesday remains one of the most popular shows on Netflix. The series is certainly not without its flaws, but the vision of Tim Burton, a director who has always been known to portray gothic horror and outcast protagonists, helped to create a lasting legacy for the series.

 A second season is on the way, and the creative minds behind the streaming hit are looking at options as to how they can fix some of the issues with the first series. There are sure to be some changes made, and that could be for the better or worse. What will always remain the same is the quality of Jenna Ortega's iconic take on the Addams Family character.

There may be a desire to make some significant shifts in the show, and it's unclear what they may be. It could be that characters are axed, or the premise is slightly changed. However, what has to remain the same is the genre the series comfortably sits in.

 Wednesday is a murder mystery through and through, and that was always a part of Burton's original vision. Regardless of what might be altered for the coming season, what has to stay the same is that mysterious element that drove the narrative in the first place. To lose that is to risk losing the show's identity and momentum.
