You can now book a guided tour of the sets
Wednesday has led to a huge boost of tourism in Romania
as fans can now visit the show’s set
Scenes in the ghost town of Jericho and the Nevermore Academy were filmed on sets in the Buftea studios in Romania
Flavian Dobre, who worked in the Netflix production for Wednesday
He told EuroNews: “It was a hefty production
and involved beautiful people: people who have revived
who gave precedence to Romanian cinema and made everything happen here at the Buftea Studios
Another tour operator reportedly estimated a 55 per cent increase in hotel occupancy around Bucharest since Wednesday aired
Expedia revealed a 55% increase in searches for hotels in Bucharest, Romania” following the airing of the series “Wednesday” on Netflix. https://t.co/RwcMnNIKwU

“It’s my acting debut,” he said
there was an explosion in the media and television
about how this character was created.”
Meanwhile, Wednesday star Jenna Ortega recently said she wanted Lady Gaga to guest star in season two
After Gaga revealed she was a fan of the show earlier this year
Ortega said she would “love that” if the pop star would join her in the cast
Thornhill and Wednesday had this weird mentor relationship or kind of understood each other in a certain way
I think it would have to be two monsters that understand each other.”
The world’s defining voice in music and pop culture: breaking what’s new and what’s next since 1952
but the Netflix show is drawing young visitors keen to see where the gothy teen unleashed mystery
it’s … it’s Nevermore Academy!” There are delighted gasps from younger members of my tour group as we enter the TV set courtyard at Bucharest Film Studio
“They don’t listen to my educational stuff,” sighs our guide. “They just want to see the Wednesday sets.” Under gothic-looking stone arches built for Netflix’s smash hit series
Since the show’s release last November TV tourism has

partly directed by Tim Burton and starring Jenna Ortega as the titular teen
utilising its abundance of gothic mansions plus the Buftea facilities
fans have doorstepped buildings used in the series
peering expectantly through stained-glass windows
Bram Stoker’s Dracula came from Romania, and castles tenuously linked to the Transylvanian vampire have dominated tourism here for decades
I start my Wednesday pilgrimage with the tour at Buftea
where it becomes clear how deeply the series resonates with children
a boy of about six is writhing on the grass
shouting in an American accent (spoiler alert): “I’m the mayor
I just got run over!” Nearby a girl is diligently sketching the exterior of the Weathervane cafe
From Harry Potter tours in London to chasing locations seen in The Beach in Thailand
but this fervent level of telly interest is completely new to Romania
View image in fullscreenPalatul Monteoru in Bucharest is a nightclub at weekends
Photograph: Jamie Fullerton“Even within the country
a lot of people forgot that Buftea exists,” says Gabriel Gheorgiu
which is usually used for adverts and reality shows rather than iconic series
“This shows the world that Romania is not just a poor country ruled by communism for a long time
In Bucharest I chat with a man running a burger van outside Palatul Monteoru
an 1874 stone building with pillared front that was once headquarters of the Writers’ Union of Romania
He says at least three or four groups of Wednesday fans arrive every day
It was used for scenes such as Wednesday’s staircase descent to Nevermore’s Raven ball
The building used for Nevermore’s main exterior is more actively embracing Wednesday tourism. Cantacuzino castle, about 90 miles north of Bucharest, has boards around the grounds detailing various filming locations, mannequins dressed as characters, and runs a Wednesday cosplay competition
The castle says visitor numbers “more than doubled” after Wednesday’s release
passing under a black sign reading: “Welcome to the filming place of Wednesday.” Fans from as far as Taiwan and China have visited Cantacuzino
which normally struggles in the shadow of nearby Bran castle

says Wednesday has had an “unbelievable positive effect in terms of tourism advertising for the entire [of] Romania
hoping the second season will be filmed again here
as it would highlight Romania and Prahova county on eastern Europe’s tourism map.”
I’m joined at Cantacuzino by Alina Baidoc, co-founder of tour company Authentic Romania, who is also pleased about the boost. She recently announced a Following Wednesday tour in response to interest from across Europe and the US
Dracula and Wednesday both offer a chance to enhance her country’s image as well as its economy

“We’ve had German travellers whose families told them they will get robbed
But they’re impressed to see it’s a beautiful country.”
honoured to visit the water where Wednesday unleashed a school of piranhas
But it’s at Bucharest Botanical Garden that I feel most transported to Wednesday’s world
The show’s greenhouse scenes look humidly beautiful
I walk among bulbous cacti and greenery tangled around staircases spiralling towards sun-shot ceilings
the fauna seem to get the spooky nature of my assignment: a black cat brushes against my leg before stalking a black bird flitting around a window
View image in fullscreenA greenhouse at Bucharest Botanical Garden
Photograph: Jamie FullertonThe greenhouse room where Wednesday’s horticulture classes were filmed is officially closed to visitors
Horticultural engineer Maria Raicu tells me this room was designed by Belgian architect Louis Fuchs around 1890
so the roof is considered too unstable for public access
Tim Burton was a “gentleman” and “very organised”
Raicu isn’t sure if he’ll return to Romania, though. A second Wednesday series is confirmed, but there are rumours that it may be filmed elsewhere, because Romanian companies allegedly ripped the crew off for things such as camera hire
with Buftea having no plans to dismantle the sets and fans continuing to arrive
the jet-black shot Wednesday injected into the arm of Romania’s tourist scene won’t wear off quickly
The England under-17 side will hope they can follow in the footsteps of their under-20 counterparts, who were crowned world champions in the summer.
Chelsea have five youngsters on display in India—all with the Young Lions—and they have played their part in England reaching Saturday's quarter-final against the U.S.
He's played for the Young Lions at under-16
having been a regular in Chelsea's youth teams since 2015
The fact Guehi has been playing for Chelsea's under-18s since he was 15 outlines the talent he has
Guehi is talented with the ball at his feet
as he has shown coming through the ranks at Chelsea
The 17-year-old can play at right-back or centre-back
having won the FA Youth Cup and U18 Premier League with Chelsea last season
He also came close to making it a hat-trick of silverware when he captained England at the summer's UEFA European Under-17 Championship
Nathan Stirk/Getty ImagesIf England can negotiate safe passage past the U.S
it would prove the perfect birthday present for Jonathan Panzo
Victory on Saturday would set up a semi-final for the Young Lions on the same day Panzo celebrates his birthday
being spotted by Chelsea's scouts when he was nine
He was invited to a trial with the club and hasn't looked back since
Panzo has been used as a central defender or a left-back in Chelsea's youth teams
while he's also been a regular with the England development squads
Panzo has featured for England's under-16 and under-18 teams
His U-17 World Cup has seen Panzo feature against Chile
a game that saw England win on penalties to progress to the quarter-finals after a goalless draw
.css-az13ih{width:100%;aspect-ratio:3/2;border:none;}Conor Gallagher wasn't born too far from Stamford Bridge
the 17-year-old very much is given he turns out for the club he supports
He's another midfielder completing the England squad at the U-17 World Cup
capable of playing in a wide or central position
It was in the latter where he started out at Chelsea as a schoolboy before switching to that wider role he has become more familiar with in the development squads
Unlike some players who have started at Chelsea from the age of eight and up
Gallagher was drafted in even earlier at Stamford Bridge
He has been a Chelsea player since he was six
meaning he's already spent 11 years with the club
winning silverware with the Blues' academy sides
Gallagher is part of the Chelsea development squad
but he's also a full-time professional
having signed his first pro contract with Chelsea shortly after his 17th birthday in February
He's made two appearances at the U-17 World Cup to date
The name McEachran is one laced with regret and missed opportunities at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea fans often lament the club's failure to nurture the undoubted talents of Brentford midfielder Josh McEachran
who came through under Carlo Ancelotti in 2010 to make his debut in the UEFA Champions League at the age of 17 and fill supporters with the hope he would be the next big academy graduate behind John Terry
George is just as talented as his brother was as a teenager
the 17-year-old has yet to make his Chelsea debut
He can play further forward than his older sibling
and he was a key part of the team that lifted the FA Youth Cup last season
making 26 appearances and scoring six goals in all competitions
He's featured in three of England's four games at the U-17 World Cup and will be looking to start in the Young Lions' quarter-final meeting with the U.S
Chelsea's youth team has been blessed with goalscorers in recent years. While he's no longer at the club after a contract dispute saw him depart for Liverpool in the summer
Dominic Solanke had been a big feature in youth football
He won the FA Youth Cup and UEFA Youth League while a Chelsea player
And now Premier League fans are being treated to the talents of Tammy Abraham on a weekly basis, with his loan spell at Swansea City bringing him goals at the highest level in English football
We shouldn't forget Ike Ugbo, another player who has been prolific in the junior ranks. He's on loan with Barnsley
an attacking star who creates and scores goals
Add Callum Hudson-Odoi to the list of promising talent coming out of Stamford Bridge
with the attacking midfielder proving himself to be a goal threat
Last season saw him score eight goals for the under-18s
That meant he was playing a year above his level
He's another player who has been with Chelsea since he was eight
being nurtured by the Chelsea coaches to develop his style in a way that suits the first-team system
The challenge he faces is the same as every other talented youngster in blue: translating his ability into becoming a first-team regular in a dressing room dominated by overseas talent
so there's plenty more for him to do to develop
If Monday morning you woke up with glitter on your pillow and pineapples in your head, then you are one of the lucky ones who spent two evenings this past week-end in the cool enchanted forest of Buftea listening to some of the coolest bands of this summer. If not, read below our four takeaways from 2017 Summer Well
a festival that quenched our thirst for alternative music
2017 Summer Well was very well curated. This year’s lineup, which we dubbed the 7-year-old festival’s most enticing yet
brought to the stage of the festival a mix of bands and performers whose music was fresh
With many of the acts fitting Bucharest among summer destinations that included Coachella
the lineup sounded very much like the well-informed music listener of 2017’s YouTube mix
like a handpicked selection of what the UK’s music scene has to offer in the summer of 2017
a partnership between Josephine Vander Gucht and Anthony West built on real chemistry
Their earworm hits from both their first and just-released second album Ultralife
The performance of British-American indie rock duo Jamie Hince and Alison Mosshart was for many the highlight of the first day of the festival and they did not disappoint
Although in past years Hince received most headlines
was the one to watch as she jolted and jilted around the stage
seemingly possessed by the spirit of music itself
was one of the live performances of the festival
Bringing ‘music for mature personalities’ – a term casually dropped by a festival goer – the NYC trio put on a solid show to close the first day of the festival
Everything was right about the band’s performance
but listening to My Desire (part of their 2014 album El Pintor) live would have been perhaps even better
Interpol’s Summer Well gig was part of the ‘Turn on the Bright Lights’ anniversary tour
which sees them tour in Europe and the US performing front to back the songs on their 2012 influential debut album
which headlined Summer Well’s first edition back in 2011
a further proof of its solid reputation and growing musical legacy
When Nothing but Thieves took to the stage on Sunday
there was nothing to focus on but Conor Mason’s classically-trained
which consisted of songs from their first album
to Mason’s amazement made the crowd sing along to most songs
the Summer Well crowd acquitted themselves nicely when the moment came for that potentially embarrassing part of the show when the artist asks for the crowd to join in for the chorus
‘That is the best sing along ever,’ the lead vocalist said
earning this year festival’s audience a well-deserved compliment
the first single from their upcoming second album Broken Machine
for the amount of adrenaline it managed to shoot into the crowd
With a cute nickname that fitted perfectly the wild setting
Jasmine Lucilla Elizabeth Jennifer van den Bogaerde aka Birdy sang ‘like a bird in the woodland
if a Hans Christian Andersen reference is not out of place in 2017
(Is it?) During the British singer’s performance
and together with the poetry-rich lyrics brought a touch of magic to an already enchanted evening
raised signs and cheered during the singer’s most well-known songs
although the general mood was one of quiet contemplation
the performance made some of the most sensitive types see their whole sentimental life pass before their eyes
One of the – perhaps unexpected – highlights of this year’s festival
Glass Animals stole the show on Sunday with their energy filled gig
What many expected to be a tame performance by a band that made a name for itself with an elaborate and catchy yet somewhat clinical sound
exploded into one of the quirkiest performances by an artist the audience had ever seen
‘a wicked sign’ and an underripe pineapple
performed songs from both their 2014 album Zaba and their latest
Mercury Prize-nominated album How To Be a Human Being (2016)
lead vocalist Dave Bayley – closely followed by Drew MacFarlane who seemed to do more dancin’ than keyboard touchin’ – resembled a puppet on million of invisible strings that were pulling him in all directions
he ventured right of the stage and – hidden from the eyes of devoted fans who had formed a block at the front – mingled with the crowd
who recently put his body to a tough test during the filming of the just-released video for their single Agnes – one he is deeply fond of – only took respite when performing it towards the end of the show
this latest one the Editors won’t have an easy time forgetting
The Editors gig was long awaited and did not disappoint
making the forest roar to the sound many were as familiar with as to sing along most songs
With a setlist that spanned several albums
Two Hearted Spider and their evergreen hit Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors
Editors enthralled the audience which poured love through their waving hands
cheers and claps in between and during songs
Much can be said about Tom Smith’s onstage persona
which seamlessly combines poise with a playfulness that saw him climb the upright piano and ride the rhythmic guitar
but what touches the most is his voice – with an impressive range of 4.75 octaves – that can so easily translate words into emotion
Apart from the joy of listening to one of the most solid bands on the musical scene performing live
had other quality: that of reminding the public
too easily accustomed to listening to music at the touch of a button
how great music is made: by using your soul and pushing your body to convey that energy that touches lives
the band members grabbed each other by the shoulders and
they threw at the crowd almost everything they could dispose of
and sent a staff member to distribute the paper sheets where they had printed the setlist
2017 Summer Well was well worth to forego a week-end at the seaside for
then The National would be our top suggestion

the band will return to the road in the summer
Arctic Monkeys have announced their first festival appearances for 2022 – check out the full schedule below
The Sheffield band, who last performed live in April 2019, revealed last week (November 16) that they’ll embark on a string of European dates next August. Now, it’s been confirmed that Alex Turner and co
will also headline various festivals that month and into September
Arctic Monkeys will take to the stage at Summer Well Festival in Buftea
Romania before playing Sziget Festival in Budapest
Further bill-topping gigs are set to follow at Zürich Openair in Switzerland (August 23)

— Arctic Monkeys (@ArcticMonkeys) November 23, 2021
Arctic Monkeys’ 2022 tour dates are as follows:
Asked in a recent interview if the new record was “ready to go”
It was a bit disjointed how we had to do it
He continued: “I think by the time we get everything together it’ll be next year
Hopefully we can get out and tour next summer.”
the drummer explained: “We tend to always move it on a little bit
Arctic Monkeys live at London’s Royal Albert Hall
“[The albums] always kind of pick up where the other one left off in a way
It makes sense when you think about it in the context of the last record
But we always do try and do something a bit different – it’s kind of hard to describe
Then, in August, it emerged that the band had been recording new material in Suffolk
Fans will now be anticipating an announcement for UK shows as well as potential festival slots on these shores. Asked by NME whether the band would be headlining Reading & Leeds next year, festival boss Melvin Benn replied: “Arctic Monkeys are a law unto themselves and when they decide next to play live is beyond me
The addition of today’s new dates keeps AM in the running for R&L 2022, which is set to take place across the August Bank Holiday weekend (26-28). It was confirmed last week that line-up news for the dual event will arrive “in early December”

and entertainment to offer you an unparalleled experience
The 12th edition of the festival will take place from August 11th to 13th
which will welcome us with a series of surprises

This year, Summer Well brings us 4 distinct stages, each with its own unique energy. The Hidden Tracks stage by ING x Visa is dedicated to emerging Romanian artists who have stood out with their unique stage presence and strong personalities, featuring names like Rareș, Paulina, LVX Machina, Iova, Ana Coman, and + SHE + (Corina Sucarov).
The Wiiings stage powered by Red Bull is set to impress us again this year with infectious energy created by the rhythms
and Ayrtn are just a few of the names that will have us dancing
the evening can only conclude with afterparties at the same level of excitement

making it their first logistics acquisition in Romania
“We are satisfied that by developing ELI Park 1 at high standards we have attracted a new player on the local market
South Africa’s largest logistics owner and developer
which brings valuable know-how and experience in Romania,” said Andrei Jerca
“The transaction confirms Buftea-Chitila as the third logistics hub near Bucharest as well as the developing force of Element Industrial
recognized by a worldwide real estate giant,” he added
ELI Park 1 was developed in joint venture by Element Industrial (founded by Romanian real estate investor Ionut Dumitrescu) and Paval Holding (founded by two Romanian entrepreneurs: Dragos and Adrian Paval)
The transaction has been coordinated by a joint team of the sellers: Diana Nanu and Alexandra Popa from Element Group and Karina Paval and Narcisa Stanimir from Paval Holding
CBRE Romania led by Mihai Patrulescu and legal experts from Kinstellar
the transaction has been coordinated by Steven Brown
Howard Penny and Maciej Tuszynski of Fortress
Cushman &Wakefield Echinox (led by Tim Wilkinson) and PWC (led by Cornelia Bumbacea)

is considering selling the companies and brands it owns in Romania
According to a blog post of Catalin Tolontan
CME is negotiating with various parties the sale of the Pro TV channel
which it estimates at between EUR 150 million and EUR 200 million
Telecom operator RCS&RDS and Dogan Media Group, which runs the Kanal D station, have been involved in discussions on this issue, comments Tolontan.
The ProFM and InfoPro radio stations are coveted by businessman Sebastian Ghita
CME’s move on selling its assets in Romania does not come as a surprise, given the poor financial indicators posted by the company a couple of months after Adrian Sarbu’s departure from the management.
CME reported decreasing net revenues of USD 453.1 million for the nine months ended September 30
from USD 518.7 million for the nine months ended September 30
CME also announced in November that it planned to make 1,000 employees redundant by the end of 2013.

Wednesday is an American television series set in Vermont
The coming-of-age supernatural mystery show aired its first season on Netflix in November 2022
it is based on characters from the iconic Addams family created by Charles Addams
Wednesday follows the adventures of the teenage titular character in the new boarding school for outcast supernatural beings and the struggles of a high school student with the supernatural thrown in
known for his films that mix dark fantasy and gothic elements
is the show's executive producer and directs four of the first season's eight episodes
It is currently in post-production and aims for a potential 2025 release
Wednesday revolves around a series of murders that take place in Nevermore Academy and how Wednesday finds the killers despite facing significant difficulties
What follows is an eccentric whodunit involving gothic castles and big bad monsters
as well as culture clashes between the human residents of the quaint little town and the outcasts of Nevermore
can be attributed to the amazing filming locations
the filming locations were chosen meticulously to get the vibe of the small town and its supernatural academy set in the adjacent forest
They were shot entirely in the gothic ravines of Romania
The set for the entire small town of Jericho
was built at Bucharest Film Studios of Buftea
It included crucial locations like the coffee shop
This provided an uncanny and eerie vibe to the gorgeous natural beauty of Vermont
some exterior shots set near Nevermore were filmed on location
a riff on the Triwizard tournament in the Harry Potter series
was shot across the two Romanian lakes of Sterbei and Brănești
the Burlington train station sequences were filmed at an actual station
located in the mountain town Sinaia in the Busteni region
The Dinamo Olympic Swimming Pool in Bucharest
is part of the multipurpose Dinamo Sports Park
The pool features the bizarre and controversial opening torture scene of Wednesday on the show's very first episode
The pool is a popular shooting location and has also been featured in many other popular spy thriller series
The gothic and spooky ambiance of the Nevermore Academy was attained by using multiple buildings in different capacities
The most notable ones were the ariel and exterior shots of the academy in Cantacuzino castle
The exterior shots of the castle were duly blended with CGI to fit the gothic aesthetic of the original The Addams Family series
One notable fact about this castle is that it was once the summer home of the Romanian Prime Minister Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino
The delightfully gorgeous greenhouse featured in the show was shot in the Bucharest Botanical Gardens
This stunning garden features almost 45 acres of lush greenery
The show's interior sequences were shot around two towering specimens of Gothic architecture: Palatul Monterou and Casa Niculescu-Dorobantu
Casa Niculescu-Dorobantu is located in Bucharest and was constructed in a French Neo-Gothic style
Its ornate staircase and stained glass windows are featured extensively in the show
used to be the Romanian Writers’ Union’s headquarters
it is an iconic center of arts and culture that hosts exhibitions
one of Romania's largest technical universities
is situated in Bucharest and was used as a location in the opening scene of the series
was used as a stand-in for Nancy Reagan High School
which Wednesday used to attend before getting kicked out
Tim Burton was all praises about Romania as the show's preferred filming location
He also spoke about the challenge of making Romania stand in for Vermont
He further added that this challenge made them find many new locations
Another reason Wednesday was decided to be shot in Romania instead of Toronto
the creative team also felt that Toronto did not have the necessary vibe for Wednesday
Romania was finalized because of its proximity to Bucharest
Stay tuned to Soap Central for more updates on Wednesday

Filming the series Wednesday presented some challenges for the cast, but Jenna Ortega ran into a unique issue herself. A former vegan, the You actor found herself eating fish while filming Wednesday. Find out how the filming location for the Netflix show influenced Ortega’s diet behind the scenes
Wednesday director Tim Burton started searching for shooting locations in Romania sometime in 2021. According to Film New Europe
and the Buftea Studios as filming locations for the Netflix series
Ultimately, Burton settled on Buftea Studios as the main set. In the second week of September 2021, filming for Wednesday began in Bucharest, a locale that captured the Gothic castle vibe required for a fictional school like Nevermore Academy
The entire crew spent more than six months filming there
Wednesday is set in a fictional version of the actual small town of Jericho
The real town is located about 30 minutes from Burlington
“I was vegan for a really long time,” the You actor said
“But I stopped being vegan when I went to Romania to shoot Wednesday.”
Some of Romania’s most popular dishes include tripe soup
Ortega had to find other ways to meet her daily nutrition requirements
She added: “The food is very different there and I don’t think that I was meeting my nutrition requirements so I started eating fish again
In addition to having a hard time finding foods that met her dietary restrictions, Ortega and her Wednesday cast mates ran into another challenge while filming Wednesday
Speaking with her co-star Christina Ricci for Interview Magazine
Ortega revealed that she never had access to hot water
“People were going down with COVID left and right,” Ortega recalled
The boilers in two of my apartments were broken
Everything was closed because you couldn’t do anything
I won’t be able to compare that to anything else.”
In a January 2022 interview with the New York Times
mentioning avocado rolls as one of her favorite foods
and any time people asked me what my favorite food was
I’m so indecisive I couldn’t give them an answer,” she told the outlet
‘But that’s not a meal.’… You know how kids always go with chicken tenders and French fries
Those are my chicken tenders and French fries.”

Visit Where Wednesday Was Filmed IRLA tour of the gothic location costs just $7
Wednesday has arrived just in time for a holiday weekend watch
The Netflix series based on the Addams Family is a slightly darker take on the classic characters you may be familiar with from the TV show and ‘90s films
Wednesday follows Wednesday Addams as she attends Nevermore Academy
It may not be an actual boarding school you can attend
but there is a location you can visit where Wednesday was filmed
Scruton shared that they used an actual castle in Bușteni for the exterior
They shot on location for “about three or four days,” and it’s a place you can visit IRL
Perhaps a good excuse to use your passport more in 2023 is to visit the Wednesday filming locations in Europe
you’ll first need to know exactly where those are
If you’d like to also tour the second floor art gallery
The interior of the castle is definitely stunning
but they mainly used the exterior for the show
Tomasz Lazar/NetflixIn addition to filming at the Buftea Studios in Bucharest and Cantacuzino Castle in Bușteni
Wednesday also took advantage of being in Romania and shot some scenes in Transylvania
Netflix couldn’t pass up the chance to film in the region most known for vampires and Dracula
Nevermore Academy even has some vampire students along with werewolves
The supernatural species are what make Wednesday stand out amongst other Addams Family films
You may even be able to spot other familiar locations from Wednesday in Romania after marathon-watching all eight episodes on Netflix
