‘Wednesday’ fully took over our lives when it dropped on Netflix and we’re all okay with that.

Netflix’s Wednesday broke records for the number of hours viewed in its first week, surpassing Stranger Things 4 with a massive 341.2 million.

It also quickly became the Number One show on the platform in 83 countries, and we have to admit that we may have rewatched all eight episodes a couple of times already...

As fans celebrate the news that Wednesday is officially getting a second season, we've got all the behind-the-scenes moments to fill the Wednesday-shaped hole in your lives until we get new episodes.

Netflix has shared a few inside looks into how the Addams Family spin-off was made, from how scenes with Thing were really filmed, to Emma Myers doing her own stunts!

Emma Myers, who plays the loveable Enid Sinclair, pulled off some pretty impressive stunts when filming Wednesday that didn't call for a body double – wow!

On January 12, Netflix shared a video montage of the 20-year-old training for her scenes as the young werewolf, and they promised more of her acrobatic tendencies next season.

The official Twitter page for the streaming giant posted: "#WednesdayThought: More Emma Myers stunts in Season 2!."

We can't wait to see where Enid's character goes next season now that she's 'wolfed out'!

As well as production secrets, Jenna Ortega – who plays Wednesday, obvs – showed her 15 million followers just how close she and her co-stars have become become.

In one cute vid posted on Instagram the 20-year-old straddled co-star Hunter Doohan, who plays Tyler, as they span around on a chair together.

She also struck up a BFF-ship with Gwendoline Christie, who plays Principal Weems, who she can be seen hugging in another of her uploads. Christie even picked up the 5ft actress for their cuddle.

In another picture of the co-stars together, Gwendoline hilariously bites the plait in Jenna’s hair.

The star also shared an adorable video of her cast mates playing UNO around a table, clearly after a long day of filming.

Jenna captioned her BTS carousel: “Special thank you to the cast, Nirvana, Enrique, Logi, Coral, Mihail & Jason, Dana, Axel, Petru, Addy, Tim, Avant Garde, Angeles Music Academy, every background member, the entire crew. Everyone who watches.”

The actress also made sure to show off an already-iconic photo of herself with director Tim Burton and Christina Ricci, who also played Wednesday Addams as a youngster, and now stars as Wednesday’s teacher Ms Thornhill.
