As Deadline revealed exclusively on Monday, Netflix‘s hit seriesWednesday will be moving locations, with the upcoming second season filming in Ireland.
While attending the Season 5 premiere of FX’s Fargo, which he executive produces, Wednesday executive producer Steve Stark spoke to Deadline about the decision to relocate from Romania, where Season 1 was shot, to Ireland.
“Romania was an amazing place to shoot creatively, but challenging in a lot of ways,” he said.
As Deadline reported, the Balkan country presented logistical challenges, with speculation starting soon after production had wrapped that, if the series would go to a second season, it would likely film elsewhere.
Stark confirmed that by the time they’d finished Season 1, ” we were going to movie it out to there.”
“London or Ireland were two choices,” he revealed. “The main reason for me was I shot 113 episodes of Vikings in Ireland. Love Ireland. We got an amazing deal at the same studio we shot Vikings in. Vikings is probably ending, so we moved back in there.”
Stark serves as executive producer on the MGM Television-produced Wednesday, Fargo and Vikings: Valhalla after serving as President of the studio (now owned by Amazon) for almost a decade.
The mothership Vikings series, the first big TV project to come out of MGM post-bankruptcy, was filmed at Morgan O’Sullivan’s then-newly build Ashford Studios in Ireland for its six-season run on History. It was succeeded by sequel Valhalla, which will be ending with its upcoming third season on Netflix and. That show, in turn, will be replaced by Wednesday, which is expected to start production on Season 2 in late April.
