wednesdaynetflix exec reveals bizarre marketing strategy that might have worked
Netflix is crediting one set of strange ads for helping Wednesday become a hit. The Head of Scripted Series for the streaming giant, Peter Friedlander, spoke to Vulture about the whirlwind hit. In his estimation, a cheeky bit of marketing around TSA bins really cut through with some of the audience.
"I have to give credit to the marketing team. They really did a bang-up job reintroducing this IP into the world – from the teaser really early on to this fun video where Wednesday breaks the fourth wall. I don't know if you've been traveling recently, but there's ads in the TSA bins," Friedlander explained."It was very clever to have marketing inside where we're traveling at the busiest travel times in the U.S.
What Could Be Coming For Season 2?With Season 1 being such a runaway hit for the streamer, it would be normal to expect Season 2 to be coming as quickly as possible. Luckily for fans, this seems exactly like what's happening with Wednesday. There are reports that the writers room for another set of episodes is being pulled together as we speak. However, there are no hard and fast dates set for Season 2's premiere or anything like that yet.
"For us, it's always looking at the future, and when we sit down to create a show, it's looking at multiple seasons, ideally. That's never expected, but that's the anticipation that hopefully the show is successful. So you always lay out at least three or four seasons' worth of potential storylines for the characters. It can evolve and change. Often, you want to see which characters or cast pop and who you like to write for.
