The Netflix gothic comedy is the biggest ever show on the streaming platform and Irish fans in particular will be excited about season two.

The Addams Family spin-off-which features Jenna Ortega in the lead role of supernatural sleuth Wednesday Addams - was filmed in Wicklow, Offaly and Dublin.

The dark fantasy's first series - filmed three years ago - was shot in Romania, but makers moved production to Ireland for the new one.

Tanaiste Simon Harris met with its legendary director Tim Burton and crew on location in Co Wicklow for what is said to be the biggest production ever in Ireland.

Dramatic landscapes can be seen throughout the series, including Powerscourt Demesne in Enniskerry, with its waterfall and gardens, as well as the mountain village of Roundwood.

Gothic Charleville Castle in Co Offaly makes an appearance, as does Deansgrange Cemetery, the final resting place of former Taoiseach Sean Lemass and singer Sinead O'Connor.

Filming also took place in Trinity Business School in Dublin.
